YOUR TOOL TO BE IN SHAPE FOR THE GOOD WORK
How Fit Is Your Mind?
February/March 2020
I’ll never lose the weight. It hurts so bad. Why should I try, I’ll never win. I’m ugly, nobody really likes me. — What are the conversations you should be having with God? — right now! Sever depression, chronic pain, hopelessness and social isolation are leading factors that affect people physically, emotionally and spiritually and contribute to the growing number of suicides. Sure, a good workout can release endorphins and group exercise can be a great way to engage with others. But when you’re all alone the loud voice inside your mind is persistent to destroy the good work God has begun in you. It’s time to learn how to avoid injuries and how to be the spiritual spotter for those trying to lift an incredibly heavy burden. Beyond positivity, open your mind to a greater fitness through faith.

Filthy Grace
April/May 2020
The guy on the treadmill next to you stinks — He literally stinks! Maybe the only thing filthier than his gym clothes are the conversations you overhear from the women in group exercise. At least your life’s all Downy fresh. Nice job. No? When we inject Botox into our Facebook posts our lives may look wrinkle free but we all know that dirt we hide is real. The higher we esteem ourselves the lower we go. Life’s going to get gross before it gets glorious. We humbly submit to you a totally righteous plan.

1 set of ∞ reps
June/July 2020
How heavy and how many? Time to reengineer our thinking and introduce a better approach to making significant gains. Do one thing well – over and over again. You can do so much with so little. You’re uniquely made for a very special purpose. Quit trying to be in control. Just work hard and help the weak. All you really need to do is be faithful and have good form. Purity of heart and singularity of focus IS stewardship. It’s time to manage that well. How heavy should you go? Do it with everything you’ve got! Once you’ve done 70×7 just keep going – like for forever. When you give it all, God will bless beyond your wildest dreams.

Total power, pure devotion and your limitless capacity to do the good work
October/November 2020
Both fitness and faith begin with desire – a strong compulsion for something more. With some effort you can discover the joy of consistency. Beyond your limits lies devotion, when you’re “all in”! It’s time to add to the relentless commitment to a healthy diet and the insane determination to train. Obsession blows up to a whole new level when you give your life totally over to God. Being in the top 1% is nothing compared to this.

ACCOUNTABILITY > atrophy
December 2020/January 2021
“Out with the old and in with the new” is a disposable consumer mentality. It’s easy to squander your focus, values and energy by being the consumer of good intentions, group consensus and playing life in safety mode. It’s a guaranteed plan for spiritual atrophy – a wasting disease far worse than deteriorating muscles. Instead, don’t get fatigued doing good – work for the benefit of all. In your life and for your community appreciate challenges, celebrate experience and continually pursue more. Be a citizen deeply connected to your community through faithfulness, patient endurance and righteousness. Submit your will to God and be the nourishment others need.
