"Jesus is the first runner. In other words, in this Legacy Race, the one out front of me, the one setting the pace, is Jesus Christ. I keep my eyes on him.

When I think about what my values should be — about money or about power or about people — my eyes are set ahead. I’m looking ahead to him."
Mike Cope (’78), director of ministry outreach, Pepperdine University
