You're Not Losing Faith—You're Spiritually Out of Shape - Spiritually Fit Today

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and this week's guest, Braden Pedersen. In this episode Arnie and Braden discuss why many Christians feel spiritually drained despite regular church attendance and Bible reading — and how spiritual fitness (not just faith effort) brings lasting change. They unpack a simple, practical daily roadmap from 1 Timothy 4:7–8: Receive, Reflect, Respond, Reveal, and offer steps to build small daily habits that grow your spiritual life. What to do next (4 R actions) - Read: Pick a clear starting point (Matthew chapter 1, Proverbs, or a daily Bible plan) and read a short passage each day. - Reflect: Pause and meditate on the passage. Ask what it reveals about God, yourself, and your story. Use a study Bible, devotional, or brief questions (Who? What? So what? Now what?) to guide thought. - Respond: Turn your reflection into prayer. Ask God, “What are you asking me to change?” and commit one personal next step. - Reveal: Share what you learned with someone else — a text, a quick conversation, a social post, or living out the truth in a practical way. Make that small step publicly count.
