Imagine a place where you can quench your thirst for the Bible and get a solid physical training workout in less than thirty minutes. This place is a reality with a new innovation in fitness and faith. It is called Training 4 Christ (T4C). This place could be a reality in your community. It has been developed for churches, ministries as well as programs of outreach. The T4C is a professionally and spiritually inspired fusion of body weight training and Bible study. The design of the programming system revolves around the Bible. The approach is for couples to strengthen their bodies and their love of God and build great potential inside.
The T4C is a unique piece of equipment. Viewed with the naked eye, its 4’x4’ steel frame with a heavy bag on one side may not seem like much, but IT delivers a unique workout. Each sequence of total body conditioning last from thirty seconds to six minutes and includes Bible passage that will have you engaged to work for more. This combination of physical and spiritual programming is inspiring and a life changing experience.
Training 4 Christ ® the Light of Christ Video series is the inspiration of founder and designer Todd M Jutte of Oregon. As a former Marine, the T4C was initially designed for the Navy Seals, Green Beret, Rangers and Special Forces to be Elite Trained, Elite Tested and Elite Proven. This program combines serious performance training with equally intense spiritual study for couples. This is done using the T4C’s four to eight stations where the husband is placed across from the wife to work as a team. They are then taken through the T4C program where they recite scripture and encourage each other to “Never Quit!”
HOW IT WORKS AND WHO SHOULD USE IT
The T4C programming has been developed to match and address both the physical and spiritual needs of couples in a wide array of community cultures. Through scientific and researched fitness programs and biblical principles, the T4C programs main goal is to empower the marriage and family and through exercise to help the family unit be fit to work hard for God. Visualize it this way – the T4C is like a military version of both physical training and Bible study. It brings a new dimension to Sunday School, VBS, marriage counseling, The addiction and recovery, divorce ministry, boot camp, sports performance and general fitness regardless of your current fitness level or goals.
The program starts with a theme verse and purpose. Couples have a different verse every time they work out (allowing for topics such as communication, sex and intimacy, addictions, trust as well as over twenty other subjects). Once the Bible verse is read, an opening prayer follows the program and then couple launch into the workout. The T4C will address total body physical conditioning leading to improved efficiency and motion. It has stations for pushing, pulling, combat (heavy bag) and legs. Through a progression of exercises, couples address both cardio-respiratory and vascular systems as well as exercising the mind. Couples can be at each station from three to ten minutes of continuous exercise with short rest breaks between stations. During the workout couples share Bible verses and encourage each other. The program ends with a closing prayer and accompanying Bible study.
The T4C program is designed for churches with outreach programs. The intensity and design is for a couple to grow in being a stronger team and strengthen their relationship so they can prepare for and accomplish challenges together. This program can be instrumental within weekly seminars or in self help workshops. This program is currently being used in Phoenix First Assemble of God Church in Phoenix, Arizona as well as Sports Performance Academy’s in Arizona, Ohio, and Oregon. The most significant program is being shown to Teen Challenge International, where it is showing to have measurable results both physically and spiritually.
Churches, schools, academy’s, seminary’s and organizational franchises can obtain the T4C Unit and programming for their ministries. The Training4Christ.com website offers full information on how you can start the program including videos and testimonials.
STRONG COUPLES = A STRONG CHURCH
Couples today are in a battleground for survival. Deteriorating world values war against couples wanting to be an example of God’s Love to each other and those around them. Battles with temptations like, pornography, immorality, disrespect and selfishness can more easily be won when couples actively work together. The T4C can be part of a strong defense against broken relationships and lives.
Training programs lacking in motivation and spiritual growth must be a thing of the past. The T4C offers a complete program for couples to strengthen mind, body, spirit and value toward having an attitude of service. Couples in your community can be Elite Trained, Elite Tested and Elite Proven. Equip couples to be stronger – equip your church with T4C.
