Finish the race & keep the faith
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7
The phrase, "As strong as Fort Knox" comes from a city in Kentucky where the United States holds its Gold Bullion deposits currently estimated to be worth 7 Trillion Dollars. That's not the only valuable thing about Fort Knox.
Today's guest, John Conner also hails from that city. And he's from good stock too having close relatives from Manchester, England. John was a personal trainer and a nurse before taking up a post with the military, spending the past 3 years at RAF Mildenhall.
By the time you hear this podcast, he will have relocated back to the US with his wife, Brittany and their heart-meltingly-cute-baby Amelia.

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
"Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him." James 1:12

WHAT IS ASCEND MEN?
Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!
Ascend Men is that community.
Our podcasts reflect that desire to challenge, inspire and equip our men. Some are light-hearted easy-listens. Some deserve to be digested and pondered. If you love them, tell us - we could do with the encouragement. If you can see ways they could be improved, tell us - feedback is a gift.
Join our Facebook group or email us (ascend@thec3.uk) to hear more about our fantastic breakfasts in Cambridge, Bury and Colchester as well as our annual Summit in February and Camp in July.
