๐Ÿ“– Your Body in the Bible

Five short days. Read, think, pray. Tap โ€œDoneโ€ to save your progress on this device.

๐Ÿซ‚ Bodies the Bible Didnโ€™t Hide

The Bible is honest about bodies: weak eyes, limps, illness, height, age. God never asked anyone to fix their body before He loved them or used them.

๐Ÿ˜ด Rest, Sleep & Sabbath

Rest isnโ€™t the opposite of strength. Itโ€™s part of how God built strength.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ Run Your Race

Hebrews 12:1โ€“3, one mile at a time. Pick your distance. Read (or listen to) each mile as you go.

๐ŸŒง๏ธ Lament Lap

For grief, disappointment or a heavy season. Walk slowly. At each stop, pray the psalm out loud, then pray your own words. God can handle your honesty.

๐Ÿข Pray for Your Gym

A quiet prayer walk for your gym, track, field or neighborhood. Nobody has to know youโ€™re doing it.

๐ŸŸ๏ธ Game Day Devotional

Seven days for athletes, from rec league to varsity. Read it before practice or in the locker room.

๐Ÿ“‹ Coachโ€™s Corner

For Christian coaches, assistant coaches and team parents.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Faith & Fitness Group Guide

Four weeks for a church walking group, workout crew or small group. Each week: pray, read, talk, move, close. About 45 minutes.

๐ŸŽ„ 12 Days of Christmas Moves

A family movement calendar from December 14 to Christmas Day. One part of the Christmas story and one move each day. Todayโ€™s day is highlighted, and you can play any day early.

๐ŸŽ† New Year, Same God

A January reset built on faithfulness, not the scale. No weight goals, no before-and-afters. Write three goals, and theyโ€™ll save on this device.

Instead of a weight goal, try a faithfulness goal
