Ep. 28:

Welcome to "Renewed Strength," the podcast where we blend faith and fitness to nourish your body and spirit. As we observe Memorial Day, we're reminded of the profound sacrifices made by countless American soldiers who laid down their lives for our freedom. It's a day of remembrance and gratitude, and today, we draw inspiration from Luke 22:19, which says, "And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is My body given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.'

This passage from Luke invites us to remember the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us, laying down His life so that we may have eternal life. Much like the sacrifice of our soldiers, Jesus’ sacrifice was made out of love and commitment to a greater cause. As we honor those who have served and remember Christ's sacrifice, we are called to reflect on the reasons behind our own actions.

Our fitness journey is more than a quest for physical strength; it is an opportunity to honor the gifts we've been given. Just as soldiers and Christ gave selflessly for others, we can use our health and strength to serve and uplift those around us. Remembering their sacrifices can inspire us to persevere in our efforts to lead a healthy, purposeful life, aligning our actions with our faith.

As we commemorate Memorial Day, let’s commit to exercising with purpose. Let each workout be a reminder of the sacrifices made for our freedom and the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for our salvation. Use this time to reflect on how you can serve others through your health and faith.

I encourage you to set an intention for your workouts this week. Whether it's dedicating a run to a loved one who served or using your exercise time to pray for those who continue to protect our nation, let your fitness routine be a testament to your gratitude and faith.
