Feeling Spiritually Stuck? There's a Way Forward (Starting Tomorrow)

Spiritual stagnation is real, but small daily steps of faith can reignite your passion for Jesus and lead to lasting transformation.

Have you ever felt spiritually "stuck"? I know I certainly have.

You love Jesus. You've walked with Him for years. But almost daily, it feels like you're just coasting in neutral—watching the world "go to hell in a handbasket" while feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.

If that's you, I need you to know something: you're not alone. In our recent survey of committed believers, nearly 90% of us struggle with some level of spiritual stagnation. For 47 years, I lived as what I call a "spiritual loser”, convinced I'd never break free from my sins and failures.

But here's the breakthrough I discovered: what you do today matters. Even small daily steps of faith can pull you out of neutral and back into the fight. As Scripture reminds us, "Physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come" (1 Timothy 4:8).

Your Daily Spiritual Workout Starts Monday

That's why I'm inviting you to join me for the launch of Spiritually Fit Today—a brand-new daily "micro-podcast" starting Monday, October 6.

Think of it as your daily spiritual workout. In just 5 minutes each morning, you'll get:

• A dose of Scripture to anchor your day

• Encouragement to reignite your passion for Jesus

• A practical challenge to share your faith with others

This isn't another lengthy sermon or generic devotional. It's a focused, research-backed burst of motivation designed specifically for believers like us—the ones who love Jesus deeply but struggle to step out daily and live on fire for Him.

Why This Is Different (And Why It Will Work)

Here's what I've learned through years of spiritual fitness research: small daily steps, done consistently lead to transformation. You don't need to become a Bible professor, a social butterfly, or a platform speaker. You just need to show up each day and do one small "rep" of faith.

That's what Spiritually Fit Today gives you—a simple, doable daily habit that will help you resist the spiritual stagnation that's been weighing you down. And, even if you're naturally reserved like me, you’ll rediscover the overwhelming joy that only Jesus brings and find practical ways to share that joy with others.

Each episode will motivate you to get into the game, pursue your love for Jesus, and reveal Him to others—not through perfection, but through faithful, daily spiritual exercise.

I Need Your Help (And All of Us Need This Spiritual Fitness Community)

Since this podcast is brand new, you can help shape it. I want to hear from you:

• What challenges are you facing right now?

• What topics do you want to explore?

• How are these daily spiritual workouts impacting you?

• Call 800-811-2387 to leave your comments, questions, and suggestions. I'll be listening! This is our community, built for people like us who aren't naturally drawn to the spotlight but are desperate to win each day for Jesus.

Don't Wait—Your Turning Point Starts Monday

Here's my challenge to you: Don't let this be just another email you read and set aside.

Make October 6 your turning point. Commit to tuning in each morning and putting these small daily prompts into practice. Imagine the ripple effect if thousands of us start our day with the same spiritual "rep". The impact on our families, churches, and communities will be extraordinary.

I'm personally inviting you: Will you join me on Monday and start a daily spiritual workout?

Don't sit on the sidelines any longer. Take this step toward renewed joy, purpose, and spiritual fire. What you do today matters—because it does.

And please—bring someone with you. Forward this email. Mention it at church. Invite a friend who's also feeling stuck. We all know someone who could use a daily dose of hope and truth. This is your chance to help them get spiritually fit too.

There's urgency to this moment. What we do now, today, can spark a change that reverberates around the world! I truly believe God is about to do something extraordinary through these small daily steps of faith.

But it starts with one step—yours, today.

In Christ,
