The “mark of the beast” in Revelation is fundamentally about worship and allegiance, not technology.
In Revelation 13 and 14, the mark is given only to those (pay attention here!) who consciously worship the beast and pledge loyalty to his system.
The imagery of a “mark on the hand and forehead” point back to Deuteronomy 6, where God’s people symbolically bear his law on their hands and foreheads. In the same way, the beast’s mark symbolizes a person’s loyalty to a false, anti-Christ-like power.
Please understand: Christians cannot accidentally take the mark of the beast, whether we're talking about ID chips, biometric scanners, or anything similar. The mark of the beast is a spiritual and moral reality tied to denying Christ and embracing a rival lord.

Kicking off the @NAMB_SBC Refresh Retreat at The Cove in Asheville, NC with Dr Robert Smith. Praying this weekend is both encouraging and refreshing for these pastors and their wives who serve Jesus and His Church so well!

The Endurance Artist goes live today. Much thanks to all that preordered and waited patiently. Forever in your gratitude.
"A few nights ago I had the privilege of sharing the stage with Lazarus Lake (Gary Cantrell) and Jared Beasley, author of what I can only describe as one of the most compelling narratives to emerge from the running world in years.
For an hour, we wandered through the labyrinthine stories of Laz's life....each providing great entertainment and just a bit more insights into understanding one of sports' most enigmatic figures. Jared walked us through his own odyssey: the writer chasing his subject always careful to validate whether something is a memory or a myth, trying to pin down a man who seems to exist somewhere in the realm of legend.
We barely scratched the surface. Like the best conversations, I think ours felt less like an interview and more like sitting around the campfire at Big's Backyard Ultra.
I'm telling you, this book transcends the running community. Yes, trail runners will devour it. But at its core, this is a story about human complexity, about the paradoxes we all carry (a man who lived outside the rules as a kid....only to build races that have strict and unwavering rules as an adult), about how the most interesting lives are often within normal people who just need to be tested beyond perceived limits. It's about someone who created something punishing and beautiful, who understands that sometimes the most profound experiences come from ongoing voluntary suffering.
Jared has crafted something special here.....a book that pulses with life. I suspect when it reaches a wider audience, we'll be talking about it not just as a running book." - David Callahan, Ultrasignup
