The Hidden Danger of Doing Faith Alone - SFT

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Wayne Pederson. Wayne digs into a common pattern in leaders who fall: isolation, secrecy, and lack of real accountability. He highlights two big protectors of a strong finish, shares real-life examples, and offers practical steps for building an inner circle, practicing spiritual disciplines, and staying centered on Jesus. Memory verse: 2 Timothy 4:7 ("I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."). 4 R action steps: Read — Read 2 Timothy 4:7 and Psalm 51:10; immerse yourself in Scripture daily. Reflect — Journal answers to: Who is in my inner circle? Where might I be hiding? What guardrails am I missing? Share your reflections with a trusted friend. Respond — Commit to daily Bible reading, prayer, confession, and one concrete step this week (invite 3–5 trusted people into monthly check-ins or start a one-on-one accountability conversation). Reveal — Demonstrate the truth by honestly sharing one struggle or growth step with a trusted friend, inviting them into mutual accountability, or leading by example in your small group or church.
