Join Arnie Cole, Braden Pedersen, and Bruce Ashford on Spiritually Fit Today as they dive into the real meaning of spiritual growth. This episode challenges the idea that you need more Bible studies before you can obey—what you really need is one step of faith. Discover how to balance head knowledge, heart passion, and hands-on action as you follow Christ, and learn why spiritual fitness is about showing up every day, not achieving perfection.
This week’s focus is on Ephesians 6:13 and 1 Thessalonians 5:11—putting on the full armor of God and encouraging one another. The discussion explores the difference between knowing Scripture and living it out, the dangers of pursuing knowledge for its own sake, and the importance of applying what you learn in your daily life. Whether you’re a pastor, business owner, or just starting your faith journey, you’ll find practical wisdom and encouragement to step into the spiritual battlefield.
Take action with the 4 R’s:
Read: Open your Bible to Ephesians 6:13 and 1 Thessalonians 5:11. Reflect on what it means to put on the armor of God and to build others up.
Reflect: Ask yourself, “How can I apply this passage today? Am I balancing head knowledge, heart passion, and hands-on action in my walk with Christ?”
Respond: Pray—“Lord, thank you for every truth I’ve learned this week. Don’t let me keep it locked in. Help me run, serve, and obey—not someday, but today.”
Reveal: Share what you’ve learned with someone else. Encourage a friend, pray for someone, or take a step to serve in your community. Show the light of Christ through your actions.
Remember, you don’t need a seminary degree or perfect knowledge to make a difference. What matters is taking the next step of faith and living out what you believe. Celebrate your progress, and if this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs hope and strength.
