Faith & Fitness Magazine

Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness,
please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful,
but a disciplined life in God is far more so,
making you fit both today and forever. You can
count on this. Take it to heart. This is why
we’ve thrown ourselves into this venture so
totally. We’re banking on the living God.

Let’s talk about INFLUENCERS, what they do, how they do it - and what you’re buying. What’s the price others are paying when you’re not being an influencer for Christ? Yeah, we ARE going to go there because God’s the best thing on the market. Don’t rep the rest - rep the best.

So 20 years ago when I first started Faith & Fitness Magazine someone asked me, “So, Faith & Fitness Magazine, does that mean putting FAITH and FITNESS together?”

Pretty obvious right?!

But the person truly was confused. And so I explained:

Sure, that can be reading a Bible verse before a workout, listening to Christian music during a workout and praying after a workout. But that’s just the beginning. A faith and fitness lifestyle, intentionally pursing God to bring faith and fitness together in your life is so much more. AND - when that happens both are so much more robust and transformative.

One big outcome is that our fitness shifts away from being self-centered to being OTHERS MINDED.

And if you desire to shift from being a reader/hearer only of the Bible to actually being a doer then taking faith and fitness to that level is a really powerful, healthy and passionate way to live for both you and those whom God gives you to serve.

Don’t just live life fully - BE LIFE - the life of Christ to others.

Nuf said. The weights or whatever you do for fitness are waiting. Don’t just get back into the routine - improve it!

One way to do that is to build into your fitness time a Bible reading/listening component. NO EXCUSES. Don’t just do it, be the greater potential God has designed you to be.

Post a comment and share about your winter getaway plans.

Yes! It absolutely does. In fact in my opinion it counts even more.

This question, “Does a workout even count if you don’t post about it” is the subject line of an email from a company that markets fitness apps. It shows me that the fitness business sometimes gets it all wrong. Dreadfully wrong.

Your hard work and accomplishments AND faithfulness to honoring God by doing what’s right by strengthening your body and mind - needs no approval by anyone. While God wants us to be thankful and joyful in doing good we need to be very careful to not be prideful or prioritize posting over purpose.

When God calls you to exercise you need only have an audience of 1 - God.

I’m not suggesting that you shouldn’t post. But God insists that you live a life that keeps God the Lord of your life. Not because God wants or needs the attention but because in doing that your life will be full. GOD is your great reward!

God always wants the best for you. Don’t let the fitness culture sell you a lie that will ultimately fall short of all God has for you.

“Feel the burn” is not enough. God wants you to

The Fit Pastor, Chris Timm shares this month, “I’ve been thinking how crazy it sounds that God, the creator of all things, would be born as a baby, to a virgin, in a place like Bethlehem, fully man and fully God. Is it just me or does that sound crazy? I think it does despite it being true.”

Developing discipline requires us to be discipled and this month’s blog post by Timm gives you instruction in how to pray, “Lord God, though I don’t understand you I will trust you.”

It’s not about looking good, feeling great, being healthy or living longer. Fitness from a Christ-centered perspective is about stewardship, humility, obedience, relationship and service.

From the Bible:

It’s better to have a partner than go it alone.�Share the work, share the wealth.�If one falls down, the other helps.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
*****

Want to experience how living for Christ is more than religion and better than self determined positivity?

Dig into the Bible, talk with God and listen, AND then be obedient (humble desire and commitment). You’re not meant to live life alone - no one is. Discover God’s design of teamwork - the motives, how it’s done and the outcomes. Discover a more beautiful and better teamwork. Do it not just to help you but to help others and beyond that, do it to be the conduit by which God’s Spirit permeates the places where you are.

Don’t just live life - Be Life!

Back in 1988 I was part of a small film crew that spent three weeks traversing through the desert, cities, jungles, villages and other rugged terrain of Nigeria, West Africa.

SaAndo was our driver.

During our time together I learned some about him. His time with us meant he was not spending time with his young son Lohodido – clearly dear to his heart. I learned about how he had been raised, how he found God in church, how he liked to be physically active, his marriage and — the recent death of his wife. I also learned a very key insight to life – how to value something more than

Here’s the problem I see increasingly as a coach and pastor: our world is seemingly obsessed with highlighting accomplishments and less about effort. However, I think gritty people worry less about accomplishments because they feel most alive when they are working on something big or something challenging.
