The Christian Life Is Harder Than You Think—And That’s the Point - SFT

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Mike Heili. In this episode we explore faith as an endurance sport through 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 and Mike’s experience as an Ironman athlete and coach—how strict training, discipline, humility, and grace reshape the way we run the race of faith. Take action with the 4 R’s Read: Read 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 slowly and aloud today. Reflect: Ask where you treat faith like a sprint instead of a race. Which area of faith do you keep quitting? Respond: Pick one area you’ve quit on, write the distance (what finishing looks like), and show up once today. Make one small, concrete training step (prayer, Bible reading, accountability). Reveal: Tell one person your commitment, invite them to hold you accountable, and demonstrate grace through service this week. Connect Questions or feedback?
