Ep 315 Strength Through the Spirit — God's Path to Self-Control and Discipline
from Today Matters Podcast With Steve Pinkston · host Steve Pinkston
What if self-control isn't just a mental skill—but a spiritual one? In this special episode of Today Matters, Coach Steve Pinkston explores how God develops discipline, perseverance, and self-control in our lives through everyday choices and faithful obedience. Drawing from Scripture and the lives of biblical men and women, you'll discover that God is often more interested in shaping your character than changing your circumstances. Learn how Jesus modeled perfect self-control under pressure, how Joseph remained faithful through years of waiting, how David learned discipline long before becoming king, and why the Apostle Paul compared the Christian life to the training of an athlete. Whether you're an athlete, coach, parent, or leader, this episode will encourage you to trust God's process, strengthen your faith, and remember that every act of obedience is preparing you for something greater. Today’s Action Step: Step One - Begin every morning by surrendering your day to God. Step Two - Choose one Scripture to memorize this week. Step Three-Practice faithfulness in ordinary things.
