And while most of them likely got started for the health benefits, many say running's also had an impact on their faith. It's offered lessons about the importance of getting started, building endurance and even developing community.

This city is going to be packed with leaders! That’s what I thought when we first began to plant Hoboken Grace. Almost every person I encountered was in some type of leadership position in their career. This is going to be incredible. Our church is never going to lack leaders! I could not have been more mistaken. To this day I continue to be amazed at the lack of leadership in leadership positions within corporate America.

I needed a safe place to live where I was loved. I needed to be encouraged and sustained. But God didn't waste my childhood hurts.

Something happened to Stephanie when she stepped on stage Easter morning. After eight years at Hoboken Grace, she stood under the stage lights for the first time and looked out across a room packed with people responding to God’s love. “It’s different from up there,” she said. “You see Sunday morning differently. It’s powerful to be part of the congregation worshiping, but it’s also powerful to be up there and see a room of 500 people with their hands lifted, praising God together.”
