Your Daily Spiritual Work Out - August 12

BACK TO THE BIBLE DAILY


Is "God helps those who help themselves" really in the Bible? In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, Braden Pedersen explores the origins of this popular saying, debunks its scriptural accuracy, and reveals what the Bible truly teaches about God's grace and our helplessness.



SPIRITUALLY FIT | TODAY


What happens when addiction starts in childhood and spirals into homelessness and despair? In this episode of Spiritually Fit Today, Arnie Cole and Mike Heili share Mike’s raw journey from drug use in fifth grade to rock bottom, and the pivotal moment that changed everything. Discover how faith and the promise of Joel 2:25 brought hope and restoration to a life once thought beyond repair.



ADDITIONAL STEPS:


STEP 1 - RECEIVE

(Receive God's Word and Grow in Bible Knowledge)


From the day Christ left, believers have been eager for His return. Unfortunately, many have used this as an opportunity to spread lies about God's plan. Paul takes some time in his letter to the Thessalonians to clear up some misconceptions about the "day of the Lord," and to reassure believers that no one who loves the Lord will be left behind.



STEP 2 - REFLECT

(How does this Scripture Apply to your life?)


What does goodness look like? Sometimes it helps to see an example of what it is NOT like. Today Ben takes us to the New Testament of the Bible to compare two ways of being good. We'll see that true goodness looks out for each other.



STEP 3 - RESPOND

(How will you Win Today?)


Today Spiritual Fitness Coach Donna Amidon reminds you that God’s leadings, even when they don’t make sense, are loving invitations to believe and experience His glory!



Think about one thing God is leading you to do that you’ve been hesitant about. Today, choose to trust God and do what He is leading you to do!


STEP 4 - REVEAL

(How will you reveal Jesus to others today through praying and sharing?)


All around the world, every day, men and women are working to spread the Gospel. Sean leads our daily prayer time asking God to continue to provide for those shining God's light to the nations.
