Perseverance

Running the Race of Faith

By: Geoffrey Schmitt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Faith is not proven in moments of inspiration but in a lifetime of endurance.

In Perseverance: Running the Race of Faith, pastor and author Geoffrey Schmitt explores the biblical theme of steadfast faith through the lives of some of Scripture’s most compelling figures. From Noah’s long obedience to Abraham’s patient waiting, from Joseph’s years of injustice to Job’s endurance in suffering, the Bible reveals that faith often grows strongest in difficult seasons.

Through engaging teaching, personal reflections, poetry, and practical exercises, this study invites readers to discover how perseverance shapes spiritual maturity. The stories of Ruth’s loyal love, Daniel’s courage under pressure, the endurance of the early Church, and Paul’s determination to finish the race all point toward the ultimate example of perseverance—Jesus Christ, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him.

Written for personal devotion, small groups, retreats, and prison ministries, this Bible study offers encouragement for anyone walking through seasons of waiting, hardship, or uncertainty.

With honesty, wisdom, and hope, Geoffrey reminds readers that perseverance is not about perfect strength but about continuing to trust God one day at a time.

The journey of faith may be long—but we do not walk it alone.

“Here I am, as I am, where I am, in your presence Lord.”
