Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Clearly Complicated, Lauren Rarick interviews Will Garinger, the founder of Run With Christ (RWC). Will shares the story behind RWC, a running group that started with weekly Saturday runs in Columbus, Ohio, and has since grown into an international movement. Will discusses the importance of community, the organic growth of the group, and the transformative experiences participants have had. The conversation also covers the concept of 'the table'—a space where individuals come together as children of God to seek Him and build authentic relationships. Will emphasizes the simplicity of living a faithful life, shedding fear and pride, and the importance of inviting others to 'come and see' Christ together. The overarching message is about authentic community, unity in the church, and living a life that glorifies God.00:00 Emotional Beginnings: A Personal Revelation01:34 The Birth of Run With Christ03:29 Growing the Community: From Local to Global06:24 Challenges and Triumphs: Personal Testimonies08:17 The Power of Faith and Surrender12:01 Expanding the Vision: Beyond Columbus22:29 The Concept of the Table: Unity and Ministry28:15 The Depth of the Table29:07 Resentment and Unity Among Pastors30:41 Being Seen vs. Being Known33:03 Fear and Identity in Christianity34:31 The Full Gospel and Its Reassurance36:40 Faith Overcomes Fear and Doubt38:42 Encouragement, Unity, and Knowledge41:52 The Humility of Obedience52:28 Success is Obedience54:03 Getting Lost with God56:07 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
