Stop Waiting for Motivation—Train Anyway - SFT

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Mike Heili. In this episode Mike uses Ironman training as a picture for spiritual formation: the race is often won in the dark when nobody’s watching, and consistent, unseen reps (prayer, Scripture, small daily habits, accountability) shape endurance for the day when everything is tested. Scripture to absorb: 1 Corinthians 9:24–27. 4 R ACTIONS Read — Read 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 slowly today. Reflect — Ask: What unseen reps (prayer, Scripture, small rhythms) am I skipping? Where am can I train for endurance rather than applause? Respond — Pick one unseen rep: one small daily faith habit (e.g., 5–10 minutes of prayer, read a short passage before work, record a brief truth from Scripture) and do it today; repeat tomorrow. Reveal — Share your chosen rep with one person for accountability or model the habit by encouraging someone else to try it this week.
