You know the feeling.
The pace was fine at the start. Then somewhere around the halfway mark, your legs begin to wobble, and your mind starts begging you to stop.
Rick Meyer knows that feeling too. In Running on Faith™ he tells about a race where his legs burned from the opening half-mile, and a friend looked back and called out, “Come on!”
That one call is what this book is about.
Rick’s idea is simple and hard: running on faith means fully exerting yourself in trust and obedience to Christ, beyond what ordinary logic says is possible.
“I can’t, Christ can, we are.”
Most people settle for their second wind. The book invites you to go well past it.
Rick writes as a farm kid turned crop consultant, speaker, and lifelong distance runner.
He shows you what it looks like to build a life the way a runner builds a season: a little at a time, with a coach, with a plan, and with a goal worth the effort.
You’ll find three steps to attainment: I Can, I Will, I Am.
You’ll find the power of the people you spend time with, the way self-talk shapes your attitude, and why “if winning were easy, everybody would do it.”
And through every chapter, God’s Word is the final authority.
Along with your book comes something very different.
This isn’t a chatbot that waits for you to ask questions.
It’s a coach.
A chatbot gives you an answer.
A coach asks you a question.
It listens first. It reflects back what it hears. It shares one idea. Then it asks one question and waits for your answer.
That’s how real change starts: through conversation, not information.
Your Faith Coach is built from Rick’s books, his Power of the Mind course, and his talks.
It speaks in his plain, warm, encouraging style: a friend at the finish-line fence, never a salesperson.
It is an AI coach, not Rick himself, and it will tell you so plainly.
When it shares one of Rick’s real stories, it tells you it’s Rick’s story. And when it doesn’t have a passage in front of it, it says so instead of making one up.
You don’t need a plan. You just start where you are.
Maybe you’re tired. Maybe you’re tempted to walk away from something. Maybe you want a goal you can finally believe in.
Your coach acknowledges how you feel before it tries to solve anything.
Then it asks what’s on your heart this week, and helps you find one small, faithful step.
Keep Going — Find the strength to continue when your mind and body say enough
Goal Setting — Set God-honoring goals and take steps toward them
Truth and Self-Talk — Think and speak truth over the “if onlys”
Walking With Christ — Move from knowing about Him to trusting Him
Rick’s Teaching — Explore the ideas and stories from his books and course
Daily Habits — Build the small habits that shape a faithful life
Your coach will celebrate effort and challenge you gently. It will never shame, scold, or preach.
It uses Scripture sparingly: it explains it plainly and ties it to one step.
It never promises healing or outcomes, and it never suggests that hardship comes from weak faith.
If you are ever in real danger, it will put your safety first.
The book gives you the principles.
You’ll read the stories, learn the terms, and see what running on faith looks like.
Then your coach turns to you and asks:
“Okay. What does this look like in your life?”
What is the heaviest mile right now?
What are you most tempted to walk away from?
And what is one faithful step you can take before tonight?
That’s coaching.
Running on Faith™ gives you a faith that goes the distance.
Then your BookCoach AI makes it personal.
You don’t just finish the book inspired. You finish it with a coach beside you, calling out, “Come on!”
Read the book. Meet your coach. Keep running on faith.
