Rick’s Determination
Running on Faith: The Voice That Moves People Forward
Rick Meyer inspires audiences with a message shaped by 149,470 miles of running since June 1, 1978, a lifetime of faith, and a story that proves endurance is more than a physical trait—it is a spiritual calling. His journey stretches from the shelterbelts of a Kansas farm to championship podiums, from chasing calves in cowboy boots to sprinting through the final yards of the Boston Marathon, from childhood prayers to coaching teams that learned to “run on faith” long before they understood the phrase.
Rick’s speaking brings people into the vivid moments that shaped him: the 5K where his legs wobbled like a wheel falling off a wagon until he whispered, “Lord, I need You—I can’t—Christ can—we are,” and strength surged through him; the farm lessons where irrigation ditches, gopher holes, and harvest seasons became living parables of perseverance; the stories of veterans who heard God speak peace into the chaos of war; the championship teams who learned that greatness grows where faith, discipline, and desire meet.
Audiences experience a message filled with Scripture, storytelling, humor, and the kind of practical wisdom that comes only from living it. Rick speaks with the authenticity of a farm kid, the clarity of a pastor, and the fire of a competitor who knows what it means to push beyond limits. His stories illuminate timeless truths:
- Faith fuels courage. “Fear not, for I AM with you always,” echoed through the Aleutian Islands—and still echoes through every challenge we face.
- Desire shapes destiny. Goals written on the heart become the roadmap for a life lived with purpose, passion, and holy ambition.
- Associations create acceleration. Champions sharpen champions, and the right voices call out, “Come on!” at the exact moment you need strength.
- Effort multiplied by faith produces exponential impact. As Rick writes, “Effort + Faith + Desire + Belief + Vision + Direction = Greatness.”
Rick’s keynote presentations empower people to rise with renewed confidence, embrace God’s calling, and pursue excellence with joy. His message resonates with athletes, leaders, churches, businesses, men’s ministries, and anyone hungry for growth. Every event becomes a catalyst for transformation—because Rick embodies the principles he teaches.
Your audience will leave encouraged, energized, and equipped to run their race with purpose, passion, and unwavering faith.

If Winning Were Easy, Everybody Would Do It
This seminar is about desire. How strong is your desire to reach your goals? In life, success is auctioned to the highest bidder. Anything illegal, immoral, or unethical is like purchasing something with counterfeit money. In “If Winning Were Easy, Everybody Would Do It,” Rick concentrates on four key elements of winning:
- Imagination
- Visualization
- Realization
- Goals
Rick actually encourages his audience to “bite off more than you can chew, then chew it!” This means you must position yourself to win, avoid negativity and complacency, and always do your best.
