Jason Millsaps
In 2012, Jason Millsaps, a worship pastor and father of two, could barely swim 37 yards without gasping for air. Thirteen years later, he stood on the starting line of the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, one of the most demanding endurance events on earth.
From 37 Yards to Kona is the raw, honest story of transformation from energy drink addiction and rock-bottom fitness to becoming a 16-time IRONMAN finisher, including the World Championship. Along the way, Jason faces injuries, doubt, two major spinal surgeries, and repeated setbacks that force him to redefine success and perseverance.
More than a triathlon story, this audiobook explores faith, discipline, resilience, and the quiet belief that progress is built one step, one stroke, and one decision at a time. It’s a reminder that the finish line is never really the destination and that extraordinary change often begins exactly where we feel most stuck.
Perfect for listeners who enjoy stories of personal growth, endurance, faith-driven perseverance, and real-world transformation.

He shows what is possible from a normal family guy. He’s not some super sporty young guy. Just your normal Joe (or Jason) in this case.
