    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    I love Todd’s heart and ministry. When he came to one of our local churches in the Power and Love conference 10 years ago, it was his time to take the pulpit. They had to go looking for him. He was found in a literal prayer closet. When he took the pulpit, his countenance glowed with the glory of God and his preaching was full of FIRE.

    Thanx for posting this. I especially liked the analogy of the oldschool 4 minute mile barrier.

    I'm all for Todd White setting an example of godliness and ministry, but the Roger Bannister thing is motivational speaker nonsense. The reason people started breaking the 4 minute barrier is because they were breaking all barriers in racing. WWII had just ended and people started participating in sports again. There was no psychological barrier per se. Just distractions from the Depression and war.

    The progression chart tells me you are wrong. The record was broken six times during World War 2 then nothing happened for nine years until Bannister got just under 4 minutes then another runner broke that record again a month later.

    I was going to bring that up myself. I think there is definitely a principle that when people see one person do something that was considered 'impossible', it definitely has an affect.

    I thought Bannister was the first to do it.

    History shows he was the first so I don't understand Colonel's comment about 6 times it was broken during WW2

    The progression of the World Records during the 1940's and 50's is a unique mix of history getting in the way of athletics natural progression. In the early 1940's Arne Anderson and Gunder Hagg traded the mile world record getting it down to 4:01.4 in 1945. And there it stayed until Bannister broke it 9 years later. Why the stagnation?

    The obvious answer is, it was 1945 and we had just completed that little thing called World War 2. You see, during the war years, the Swedes (Anderson and Hagg) had the freedom to continue their athletic careers, chasing records, while the rest of the world, for the most part, was put on hold. Not only that, but we lost scores of top talent to deaths and injuries during the war. For a popularized example, see Unbroken hero Louis Zamperini. So not only were we hurt athletically during the war, but also during the post war era.

    Additionally, while Hagg and Anderson were taking their shots, in 1946, they were banned from competing as they were labeled professionals for taking money, which was against the amateur rules of the day. At the ripe age of 27, less than a year after he ran 4:01.4, Hagg's career was finished.
