BACK TO THE BIBLE DAILY
Are you struggling with grief or loss? In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, Braden Pedersen explores how the Bible addresses sorrow, offering comfort through Psalms, Jesus’ teachings, and Paul’s letters. Discover how God draws near to the brokenhearted, why grief is not a failure of faith, and how true comfort often comes through community and God’s presence.
SPIRITUALLY FIT | TODAY
What does it take to endure—both in Ironman races and in faith? In this episode of Spiritually Fit Today, Arnie Cole and Ironman coach Mike Heili explore how discipline, commitment, and grace shape both athletic and spiritual endurance. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, they discuss overcoming setbacks, the importance of training, and how faith is truly an endurance sport.
ADDITIONAL STEPS:
STEP 1 - RECEIVE
(Receive God's Word and Grow in Bible Knowledge)
As Paul continues his letter to Timothy, he reminds the young pastor that no one is to stand between God and His children. In His grace, He has allowed us access to his very throne through prayer. Paul goes on to discuss church customs and how they can draw attention away from God if we are not careful.
STEP 2 - REFLECT
(How does this Scripture Apply to your life?)
The idea of self-control or discipline is never much fun. But we've all probably seen the fallout when someone else's (or our own) self-control fails. So how can we avoid these disasters and stand strong? Kate is here to share some encouragement from the Bible and her own experiences.
STEP 3 - RESPOND
(How will you Win Today?)
Want self-control? Start practicing it! Seth Walker coaches us on developing self-control with a few simple first steps to get us on the road to physical, mental, and spiritual fitness.
Start today to practice self-control with something simple. Maybe it’s saying no to dessert. Or driving the speed limit all day. How about limiting your time on social media? Start now. Start simple!
STEP 4 - REVEAL
(How will you reveal Jesus to others today through praying and sharing?)
Prayer is so often undervalued as a way of connecting with God. Asa leads our daily prayer group today asking for God to make us a people of prayer, reliant upon Him.
