  The Prize at the End of Your Faith Journey - SFT

  Aug 21, 20267 min

  Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Mike Heili — an Ironman, coach, and business professional. In this episode we use the Ironman finish-line to explore 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 and what it means to run the spiritual race well: disciplined training, suffering redeemed, the power of community, and the crown that lasts forever. Mike shares how crossing the line becomes an exclamation point to God’s work in a life shaped by struggle, restoration, and reliance on others. 4 R Action Steps - Read: Read 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 slowly this week. - Reflect: Ask, “What is my finish line?” and journal how Paul’s call to disciplined training applies to your daily walk. - Respond: Recommit to one spiritual “rep” this week (prayer, Scripture reading, service, or accountability). Find one training partner to keep you accountable. - Reveal: Share your story or invite someone into your training—point others to the hope and redemption Christ provides through your life and actions. Email Arnie with feedback or prayer requests: arnie.cole@bttb.org. Join us Monday for another Spiritually Fit Today workout.

  Stop Sprinting Your Way Into Spiritual Burnout - SFT

  Aug 20, 20269 min

  Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Mike Heili. In this episode we use 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 to compare racing and faith: pacing matters, enthusiasm can lead to burnout, and wise rest keeps you in the race. Mike — an Ironman coach who trains others to go the distance — explains common beginner mistakes, how to channel passion instead of squandering it, and how to tell the difference between giving up and wisely resting. 4 R Action Steps - Read: Read 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 slowly and aloud. Let Paul’s image of strict training and an eternal crown sink in. - Reflect: Ask: Am I sprinting toward burnout? Where in my life am I running aimlessly? What one sustainable rhythm could I keep for a year? - Respond: Audit your pace. Peel back extra commitments (try cutting 50%), set one sustainable daily or weekly rhythm you can maintain for a year, schedule regular rest, and return to basics (prayer, Scripture, service). - Reveal: Share what you learn with one person this week—encourage them to audit their pace, invite accountability, or model steady, gracious endurance in word and action.

  The Spiritual Wall: What to Do When You Can’t Go On - SFT

  Aug 19, 20269 min

  Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole. Coach Mike Heili joins to unpack “the wall” — the mile in racing and moments in life when body, mind, or spirit want to quit. Using 1 Corinthians 9:24–27, we explore endurance as a race, practical coaching lessons for crisis, the role of community and discipline, and the single next baby step to take when you’re ready to quit. 4 R Action Steps Read — Read 1 Corinthians 9:24–27. Reflect — Ask: Where am I hitting the wall? What preparation (discipline, community) did I or didn’t I do? Could this trial be growth or an invitation to draw closer to God? Respond — Take one faithful action in the next hour: pray, reach out to someone, read a short passage, or write one sentence of honest prayer or gratitude. Reveal — Share that baby step with someone you trust; invite them to pray or walk the next step with you; demonstrate God’s endurance by serving or encouraging another.

  Stop Waiting for Motivation—Train Anyway - SFT

  Aug 18, 202611 min

  Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Mike Heili. In this episode Mike uses Ironman training as a picture for spiritual formation: the race is often won in the dark when nobody’s watching, and consistent, unseen reps (prayer, Scripture, small daily habits, accountability) shape endurance for the day when everything is tested. Scripture to absorb: 1 Corinthians 9:24–27. 4 R ACTIONS Read — Read 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 slowly today. Reflect — Ask: What unseen reps (prayer, Scripture, small rhythms) am I skipping? Where am can I train for endurance rather than applause? Respond — Pick one unseen rep: one small daily faith habit (e.g., 5–10 minutes of prayer, read a short passage before work, record a brief truth from Scripture) and do it today; repeat tomorrow. Reveal — Share your chosen rep with one person for accountability or model the habit by encouraging someone else to try it this week.
