“Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬-‭24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.1.24.NKJV

Each day is full of opportunities to make a better choice. This evening I could sit around and watch my kid practice football or I could put my buds in with my favorite playlist and knock out a run and let the coach take care of practice…posting pic for a benchmark…goal is to crush this route sub 30 before 2024 ends.

Brothers, I am a pastor and currently working on a sermon series for October called "The War Inside" from Romans 7 & 8. Focusing on how it's spiritual, personal, targeted and beatable. If you can, I would love to hear what kind of battles Satan has waged in your mind, how it affected you and what you did in response. Thanks! Zach

What does your morning routine look like? Are you out of bed and out the door or do you have a practice of scripture, fitness, planning, etc.?

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
