Okay…. You asked for it! Here’s the challenge! 🫶 We need to start counting our blessings. The world is full of bad news — but we have the greatest News… Jesus who comes to save us! But… we need to announce it when it comes. 💪So here’s the challenge: Every day - create a new post under the challenge category and share a blessing you received that day… You get an extra point if you share a Bible verse! (Possible — 2 points a day) This is going to be an advent challenge… so the last day is Christmas! 😇Winner will receive an advanced copy of my book on prayer — currently in the works! And the challenge starts…. NOW! 🥹🙏🔥 Here’s my blessing: all of you - sharing your faith - loving your faith - ready to commit to growth in virtue! I’m grateful for this community!

Hi Friends, I wanted to just explain a bit about how we can use this community forum well. 1.) There are categories of posts: Prayer, Fitness coaching, general discussion, learn about the virtues, wins and group coaching. When we do a group call, I will assign it to the “group coaching”. When I give a lesson on the virtues or fitness, those will be tagged under those headings. WE WANT to HEAR ABOUT YOUR WINS! We want to know how things are going! Please witness to God’s grace in your life by posting your wins! These can be little things or big things. We want to rejoice together, but we can only do that if you share! We also want to PRAY FOR YOU. When you have a prayer intention, just select the category, “prayer” and post your intention. Then the community — myself included — can offer our prayers for you. You can post all kinds of ways. You can upload short videos, share links and photos (appropriate ones, of course!) and GIFs that can make your post stand out. Don’t be afraid to use them! 2.) There is a classroom section. Here you will find an assortment of things in development that will be more “long-form” courses and lessons. Over time we hope to develop the classroom into something that can offer systematic training for those interested. 3.) We will start to have challenges and prizes. The more engagement, the more we will be able to grow our community and strengthen each other in the spiritual life. 4.) There is a “Map” section that allows you to see where we all live. It is a pretty cool feature and allows us to realize how big and wide our community is! Check it out! 5.) Have a little fun. This is a group for us to grow together, learn together, and strive for holiness together. That’s why we exist, and the more we engage, the better this experience will be! That is all! God Bless you!
