In this episode, Taryn remembers two former Lydia Project guests: Nina Hampton and Barbara Reaoch. Sadly, their earthly races have since ended. Through clips from their original conversations, they reflect on cancer, weakness, uncertainty, ordinary faithfulness and the God who remains steadfast through it all. Their stories are different, but each points us beyond ourselves to the same hope: to keep running the race set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus.
