Spring Forward

S.3 Ep.10: Hello and welcome back to another episode of Renewed Strength — where faith and fitness come together to help you grow stronger, inside and out. I’m so glad you’re here. This week, as we adjust our clocks and step into daylight saving time, I want us to think about what it means to spring forward — not just with our schedules, but with our health, our habits, and our walk with God. Spring has always been a season of renewal. Longer days. More light. A reminder that growth is possible again. And maybe that’s exactly what some of us need right now. When winter ends, things start waking up. Trees bud. Grass grows. The sun sticks around a little longer. That extra daylight gives us more opportunity — to move our bodies, to get outside, and to take better care of ourselves. A morning walk. An evening stretch. A workout that doesn’t feel rushed because the sun is still out. But more than that, this season invites us to take a fresh look at our routines. Where have I gotten comfortable? Where have I been stuck? What would it look like to move forward instead of staying where I am? Spring forward doesn’t mean drastic change. It means intentional movement. Scripture reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.” That verse isn’t just about salvation — it’s about transformation. It’s about becoming new, again and again, as God continues working in us. This is a good season to ask: What habits do I need to leave behind? What healthier rhythms do I need to step into? Maybe it’s getting serious about nutrition. Maybe it’s getting consistent with movement. Maybe it’s learning to rest better instead of running on empty. Whatever it is, spring is a reminder that change is possible — and God is not finished with us yet. Let’s be honest: time change can feel rough. Sleep gets off. Energy feels weird. Motivation can dip. But this is where faith meets discipline. Philippians 4:13 tells us, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” That strength doesn’t always show up as hype or excitement. Sometimes it looks like choosing to move when you’d rather stay still. Sometimes it looks like making a better choice when the easy one is right there. Spring forward isn’t about perfection. It’s about obedience in small steps. This week, I want to challenge you to be intentional. Write down one or two health goals for this season. Then connect them to your faith. Not: “I want to lose weight.” But: “I want to steward my body better.” Not: “I need to work out more.” But: “I want to build discipline and consistency.” Progress matters more than pressure. And small wins, done faithfully, add up.
