Happiness Fades, Joy Remains: What Running Taught Gavin About Surrender
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Gavin Hill returns to The Locker Room with an update that’s been a year in the making: FCA Rochester Running—a men’s Saturday morning running group built around Faith, Fellowship, and Fitness. What started as a dream (and a few closed doors) has grown into a “running huddle” where devotional, prayer, and real conversation meet the road—mile after mile, side by side.
In this episode, Gavin shares how God called him back into the running space, how shared suffering builds uncommon connection, and how a race-day moment shifted his definition of success from chasing a time to glorifying God by encouraging others. Justin and Gavin also unpack what servant leadership actually looks like in everyday life, the question that reframes every conversation—“What can I give, not what can I get?”—and why true joy is different than happiness.
Plus: Gavin shares what’s next for the club, including a women’s group launching soon, and how you might see FCA showing up at local road races to represent Christ and invite others into a wholesome, faith-forward community.
