Starting next week, I’m kicking off a HolyFit Coffee Hour every Friday at noon. This is a free, 30-minute hangout — nothing formal, nothing intense. It’s a space to: - Ask questions - Talk running (training, races, gear) - Talk life (work, family, stress) - Talk faith (what’s going well, what’s challenging, what you’re working through) No agenda. No presentation.Just real conversation and connection. You don’t need to be an experienced runner. You don’t need to have it all together. You can just show up with coffee — or whatever’s in your cup. I’ll be there, and I’d love for you to join. 🗓 Fridays at noon ⏱ 30 minutes 💬 Open conversation ☕ Free Mark it on your calendar and come hang out. Link in the calendar section here.

I brought this community out of the archive because Christian runners need more than motivation — we need structure, accountability, and faith integrated into training. A quick word on the membership fee, because transparency matters: This isn’t about getting rich.The $10/month supports the tools, platforms, and time required to consistently create high-quality content and keep this community operating well. Any margin beyond operating costs is directed toward Christian charities. That’s always been the mission. What this is: - A Christian running community - A place to train with intention and faith - A place to show up even when motivation fades Inside HolyFit Runners you’ll get: - The Daily Mile (faith + running, short and practical) - Weekly podcast discussions - Training accountability and check-ins - Free training plans, gear reviews, and resources - Exclusive HolyFit apparel discounts - Group and occasional 1-on-1 coaching calls - Content and conversations you won’t find anywhere else This is not a content dump.This is community, discipline, and faith — practiced consistently. If you were part of HolyFit before, welcome back.If you’re new, now is the right time to join. Let’s run with purpose. — Brad

📖 “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.” — Psalm 23:2–3 Saturday has a different rhythm. After a week of responsibilities, early alarms, training sessions, work schedules, and everything else life piles on, today gives you a chance to breathe. To slow down. To reset your pace — physically and spiritually. God didn’t design you to run full speed all the time. Even the strongest need rest. Even the most disciplined need recovery. And today, God invites you to let Him refresh your soul. Rest is not weakness. Rest is obedience. It’s a statement of trust that says, “God, You hold my life together — not my effort.” Use today to get perspective. Maybe that means spending time with your family. Maybe it’s a slower run. Maybe it’s time outside, clearing your mind. Maybe it’s simply sitting in silence, letting God settle your heart. What matters is this: Don’t rush past the invitation to be restored. God strengthens you in the slowdown so you can stand strong in the days ahead. 🕊️Reflection & Prayer Reflection: How can I intentionally slow my pace today and let God refresh my soul? What part of my week needs His rest the most? Prayer: Lord, thank You for this day and for the chance to breathe. Lead me beside Your quiet waters and refresh my soul. Help me rest without guilt, reflect without pressure, and receive the strength You offer freely. Restore what the week has drained, and prepare my heart for the days ahead.

📖 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.”— Colossians 3:23 Discipline isn’t flashy. Hard work isn’t glamorous. Most of it happens in the early mornings, the quiet hours, and the moments when no one is watching. That’s where strength is built. That’s where character is shaped. That’s where God does some of His best work in you. This morning, I was genuinely inspired. My son wanted to get up early to skate — and he didn’t just show up, he worked hard. Seeing that kind of effort, dedication, and hunger at his age lit something in me. It reminded me that discipline is contagious. When you live it, people around you catch it — especially your kids. If you want to grow — in faith, in running, in life — it takes discipline. Hard work is part of the calling. God doesn’t bless laziness. He blesses effort, obedience, consistency, and the willingness to keep showing up when motivation fades. very run you grind through, every tough decision you make, every moment you choose discipline over comfort — these things matter. They compound. They build something in you that lasts. And when your children see it... It shapes them too. So this Friday morning, step into the day with purpose. Do the work. Give your best. Honor God with the effort — because discipline isn’t punishment. It's formation. It’s worship. It’s becoming who God is shaping you to be. 🕊️Reflection & Prayer Reflection:Where is God calling me to tighten my discipline today? What’s one area — in my faith, my training, or my daily responsibilities — where I need to lean in and choose effort over ease? Prayer:Lord, strengthen my discipline today. Help me work with purpose, give my best effort, and honor You in every task I take on. Thank You for the example my son set this morning — let his passion fuel mine. Shape my character through the hard work, and turn my daily choices into worship unto You. Keep me focused, committed, and faithful.
