I have shared my struggle with the fitness industry and representing my faith on this blog and have recently learned about a new book/ministry, PrayFit. It is great to see how we can be using biblical concepts to encourage an active and healthy lifestyle. Fellowship in Christ is crucial and this is a perfect example of how we can use faith to encourage our friends and family to put God first in reaching there health goals...we aren't meant to fight the fight alone.
I encourage everyone to check it out...here's a blurb about the mission from their sight:
'Though still in its infancy, the goal of PrayFit is to be a place where fitness-minded believers can read and memorize God’s word while pursuing a healthier lifestyle.
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” -1 Corinthians 6:19
At PrayFit, we believe that the Lord has mandated a dedication to our health. In a nation gone mad with super-sized meal deals, even the most devout believers tend to over-indulge, as evidenced by the church’s ever-widening collective waistline. It’s not just detrimental to your wardrobe – each passing day of inactivity or nutritional indiscretion is a missed opportunity at living a longer, healthier, more fruitful life.
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” -1 Timothy 4:8
The Lord wants you to absorb scripture daily, but He also wants you to enjoy the blessed gift of abundant health. That’s why keeping our bodies healthy should always be high on our priority lists.'
