info_outlineGet ready to move your body and hear the Word of God! This REVING the Word endurance training session blends movement with biblical teaching on whole brain, whole body theology. Discover how physical activity activates more of your emotional brain (limbic system), allowing God's truth to sink deeper than just reasoning or information alone. Exercise isn't just good for your body—it's good stress (eustress) that builds resilience and opens your heart to receive from the Lord.
Key Scripture: Haggai 2:7-9 (NIV)
What to Expect in this Episode:
- Move to Engage the Whole Brain: Science shows that movement lights up the emotional centers of the brain, helping us process God's Word not just intellectually, but experientially—heart, soul, mind, and strength.
- Exercise as Good Stress: Physical activity is the healthy kind of stress your body needs, countering the bad stress of life and preparing you to receive God's peace.
- The Reminder of Rebellion: When we resist God's call (like ignoring our bodies as His temple), He may "give us over" to the consequences—not to punish, but to lovingly win us back and draw us into freedom.
- God's Promise in Haggai: He shakes things up to bring greater glory and ultimate peace. The "latter house" (our bodies, the Church, the new covenant) surpasses the former in splendor because Jesus, the Desire of All Nations, fills it.
- This Year's Call: Step into a better body—not defined by size or performance, but marked by God's peace. Let Him shake off what's weighing you down and fill you with His glory.
Best enjoyed with:
- Headphones
- Your favorite workout gear

- An open heart ready to move, trust, and play again
Let’s go—move your body, hear the Word of the Lord, and step into the freedom that He's up to something good!
