BACK TO THE BIBLE DAILY
Why is gratitude so vital to a healthy spiritual life? In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, Braden Pedersen explores biblical gratitude, drawing from 1 Thessalonians and Psalm 100. Discover why gratitude is commanded for all circumstances, how it reorients our hearts, and why it is an act of worship, along with practical ways to cultivate thankfulness each day.
SPIRITUALLY FIT | TODAY
What are you really running from? In this episode of Spiritually Fit Today, Arnie Cole and guest Mike Heili explore how pain, fear, and survival shaped Mike’s early years as a runner and how faith transformed his journey. Reflecting on Joel 2:25, they discuss the difference between running from pain and running toward hope, and the power of honest self-reflection.
ADDITIONAL STEPS:
STEP 1 - RECEIVE
(Receive God's Word and Grow in Bible Knowledge)
The early church grew quickly and spread rapidly. So it's no surprise that many people didn't look kindly upon the new Christian believers. That's why Paul spent so much time in his letters encouraging his readers, and preparing them for persecution. As we look at Paul's second letter to the Thessalonian church, we'll be reminded of God's justice.
STEP 2 - REFLECT
(How does this Scripture Apply to your life?)
Do you find yourself unlovable? Do you question your self-worth and strategize how to earn the notice and affection of others? That's a never-ending task with no winners. But Kelsey is here today to share an amazing truth she learned in the Bible that will help you see your life from a new perspective.
STEP 3 - RESPOND
(How will you Win Today?)
Climbing out of the hole of discouragement requires a shift in focus! Coach Mark Geist points us to God who understands, who empowers, and who remains faithful.
Tell God where you are struggling, then shift your focus back to the hope you have in Him by focusing on Scripture that reminds you of His faithfulness. Also, take a step to reveal God’s hope to someone else through a word of encouragement or a prayer!
STEP 4 - REVEAL
(How will you reveal Jesus to others today through praying and sharing?)
Paula leads our daily prayer today asking God for peace and comfort in the midst of our discouragement.
