You train your body like a beast—but you neglect your spirit and it’s starving. It's time to stop skipping “soul day” like you skip leg day! This is your chance to build heavyweight habits that actually make you dangerous. Let’s rep it out!

You don’t become spiritually strong by sitting on the bench. You’ve gotta lift what’s heavy, push what resists, and train like your soul depends on it—because it does.

“Discipline is the bridge between weak intentions and strong convictions.” - Unknown

1 Timothy 4:7-8 (ESV) - Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

TACTICAL APPLICATION STEPS:

1. Lift Daily (Spiritual Program):

  • 15 min of Scripture (start in Psalms or Proverbs)
  • 10 min of prayer (real talk with God—raw and honest)
  • 5 min of silence (shut it all off and listen)

2. Lift Heavy (Choose Something Hard This Week):

  • Fast a meal and pray instead.
  • Confess a sin to your brother.
  • Wake up 30 min earlier for spiritual reps.

3. Lift with Brothers (Don’t Train Alone):

  • Join a men’s group.
  • Text a brother every day this week with one thing God is teaching you.
  • Ask someone to hold you accountable.

DANGEROUS FOCUS:

Build your spiritual program like you build your lifting routine. No excuses. Pick three heavyweight habits and train them every day.
