Sorry I’ve been quiet on here. I’m not loving the usability of the school app. I’m not trying to sell a course or expertise… I want to host IRL events, workouts, and retreats. (Daily and overnight) and this hasn’t really served that all to well. Skool charges me to keep this group active and I don’t think it’s worth it to charge you or keep it active, so I’m going to turn it off. Most of you have my number. We talk on WhatsApp, IG, and I think I found the platform that serves my goals for our community better than this. It’s free for us all. It’s an app called Partiful. Here’s the link to join. https://partiful.com/co/lUEbg95Xleh6SPvKo691 I hope you all do. We started building something special. And if my plan was to sell courses and stuff, this would be great. But that’s not what I feel called to do.

Just checking on everyone! Drop a pic of something that brings you peace.

Romans 12:1–2 (NIV) “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. This is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is. His good, pleasing and perfect will.” As someone who loves health, fitness, and taking care of my body, I’ve read this passage many times. For a long time, I thought it was mostly about eating well, exercising, and honoring God by staying healthy. I still think that’s part of it. But I think it’s much deeper than that. Paul doesn’t simply tell us to take care of our bodies. He tells us to offer them. That changes everything. In the Old Testament, sacrifices were placed on the altar once and died. Paul says we are to become living sacrifices. We wake up each morning and choose again to place our lives on God’s altar. Our hands. Our feet. Our words. Our strength. Our time. Our bodies. Everything. Yes, taking care of your health can absolutely be an act of worship. Choosing nourishing food, exercising, getting enough sleep, and avoiding things that slowly destroy your body all matter because your body belongs to God. But the goal isn’t simply to have a healthier body. The goal is to have a body that is fully available to God. The world tells us to build our identity around how we look, how long we live, or how optimized we can become. Scripture points us in a different direction. Health is a gift. It is not our identity. Fitness is a tool. It is not our purpose. Longevity is a blessing. It is not our hope. God isn’t asking for the strongest body. He’s asking for a surrendered one. That means my workout isn’t just about building muscle. It’s about becoming strong enough to serve others well. My nutrition isn’t just about living longer. It’s about having the energy to be a better husband, father, friend, and disciple.

But the Israelites were too discouraged through hard labor to listen, and Pharaoh refused. Moses’ words were met with resistance, and he made the mistake of immediately talking defeat. He was on the verge of letting his negative environment change his identity from deliverer to defeated. Fortunately, God spoke to Moses and promised again that by signs and wonders He would bring the Israelites to freedom. You may be in an environment now that contradicts what God promised you. The circumstances look just the opposite of the dream He put in your heart. That’s a test. The enemy would love for you to lose who you really are, to see yourself as limited or a victim. You can let it change you, adapt to the environment, water down your dream, or you can say, “No, thanks. My environment doesn’t dictate my identity. I know who I am. I am a child of the Most High God, and I will become all I was created to be.” Prayer For Today “Father, thank You for the great and precious promises You have given me that will lead me to my best life possible. Thank You for the hope and encouragement You provide through Your Word. I refuse to settle for less than what You have called me to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
