This month’s Soul Sister Sessions goes deep on the themes of faith and religion in running. Abbey and Julia share their experiences of faith and religion, framed through the lens of their childhood, everyday life and their relationship with running. We appreciate that faith and religion can be a sensitive and confronting topic for many, for a range of reasons. This conversation focuses on Abbey and Julia’s own experiences, in an honest, safe and respectful conversation. We empathise that this conversation may not be for everyone, and understand that our audience will share a range of differing and equally valuable world views.This conversation covers the following themes which answer some listener questions:Checking in with Abbey and Julia, and acknowledging the change of circumstances with COVID-19 since their last episode togetherAbbey and Julia’s childhood exposure to faith and religionHow their respective journeys changed and evolved with exposure to different world views and experiencesThe concept of prayer while running and how it can take a range of formsMeditation and how it can be integrated into one’s faithClosing thoughts and look ahead for the coming monthTo submit a question for next months Soul Sister Session Episode visit Runningonom.com/soulsistersessions/____EPISODE LINKSAbbey's InstagramAbbey's  TwitterAbbey's  Facebook____SPONSORSXenduranceXendurance is a nutrition company based out of Phoenix Arizona, providing high quality nutrition and recovery products for athletes.
