INSTANT TAKEAWAYS

1 | Recreation and exercise are must-haves to enjoying a happy, healthy life

We all need regular exercise, recreation, rest and relaxation to enjoy a healthy life. God designed us this way, and he commands us to “remember the Sabbath” because he knows it’s essential. Rest isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a must-have even though we often relegate rest to the bottom of our to-do list. This podcast will give you several ideas for integrating healthy R and R into your life in a way that’ll bless you and your entire family.

2 | Doing hard things helps us trust God in all things

Competing and exercise gives us a great way to practice persevering spiritually. We get the chance to practice depending on God while sweating on the field or on the trail just like we need to depend on God to survive life’s struggles. With each challenge we face, we remind ourselves that our true strength comes from the Lord and that we can depend on him in every circumstance.
