Lesson 18 requires students to listen to the August 28, 2008 Trevecca Nazarene University chapel address. Dr. Tim Green compared the Christian life as running in a relay race. Each person must run their part of the race and pass the baton of the gospel to the next person.
The chapel service took place about two weeks following the 2008 Bejing Olympics in which the USA men's and women's relay teams were expected to medal. In their respective races each of the two teams dropped the baton as it was being passed from one runner to the next. Both teams were immediately disqualified. Videos of the races may be available on You Tube.
