Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today. Hosted by Arnie Cole with guest Megan Fletcher, this episode explores what a spiritual discipline is, how spiritual training relates to athletic training, and why consistency (trusting your training) matters more than occasional intensity. Megan, who works with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at the University of Nebraska, shares practical disciplines—time in the Word, prayer, rest, and fasting—and how identity in Christ shapes sustainable spiritual growth.
4 R Action Steps
- Read: Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (Rejoice always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances).
- Reflect: Ask: Which one command challenges me most? When have consistent small practices helped me grow spiritually? Where can I add a simple, daily discipline?
- Respond (short prayer): Lord, thank you for your love. Help me choose one spiritual discipline this week—give me consistency to practice it and trust in your guidance. Amen.
- Reveal: Share 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 and your chosen discipline with one friend, teammate, or coach; invite them to try it with you and pray together.
