Checking in, how is everyone?

WELCOME TO THE 40. 40 DAYS. 40 NIGHTS. ONE DECISION CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING. If you’re reading this, welcome to something bigger than a challenge. For those of you who’ve been here since the Transformation Blueprint, I want you to know that we’re entering a new season. And for those of you who are just joining us, I’m glad you’re here. I’ve spent years helping people transform their bodies, develop discipline, and establish healthier routines. But one thing I’ve learned is that true transformation has to begin on the inside. Because you can change your body and still struggle with your identity. You can accomplish goals and still lack peace. You can be motivated today and find yourself right back where you started tomorrow. That’s why I created THE 40. This is a community of people who are making the decision to stop living beneath who God created them to be. We’re going to grow spiritually, mentally, and physically. We’re going to strengthen our relationship with God, renew our thinking, take care of our bodies, and establish habits that reflect the lives we’re called to live. And we’re going to do it TOGETHER. Every 40 days, we’ll have an opportunity to lock in, challenge ourselves, and continue growing. But understand something. We’re not changing our lives FOR 40 days. We’re using 40 days to change how we live. Our first official lock-in begins November 1st. And I’m not just going to be coaching you through this. I’m going to be walking alongside you. I believe the greatest testimony of this community won’t simply be how much weight people lose or how many goals they accomplish. It’ll be the people they become along the way. NOW I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Before we get started, introduce yourself in the comments: 1. What’s your name, and where are you joining us from? 2. What’s ONE area of your life you’re determined to change? 3. What would it mean to you to finally become consistent in that area? Don’t overthink it. Just be real. I’m excited about what we’re building here.

DAY 17 — LET HIM SEARCH YOUR HEART Verse: “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.” — Psalm 139:23 KJV Devotion Real intimacy with God requires honesty. Sometimes we come into God’s presence trying to say the right things while avoiding the things actually happening inside of us. But God already knows. He knows the fear you haven’t talked about. The frustration you’ve buried. The insecurity you’re hiding. The motives you haven’t examined. David’s prayer wasn’t, “God, look at how good I’m doing.” It was: “Search me.” Walking with God means giving Him access to the places in your heart that you may not completely understand yourself. And when He reveals something, don’t run from Him. Bring it closer to Him. God doesn’t expose our hearts simply to condemn us. He reveals what is within us so He can lead us into His way. Reflection Is there anything happening inside of me that I’ve been afraid or unwilling to bring before God? Instead of hiding it today, pray: “Father, search me. Show me anything in my heart that doesn’t reflect You, and teach me how to surrender it to You.”

DAY 7 — KNOW HIS VOICE Verse: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27 KJV Devotion Walking with God means learning to recognize His voice. The more time you spend with someone, the more familiar their voice becomes. The same is true in our relationship with God. God has given us His Word, and as we spend time in Scripture, we begin to understand His character, His ways, and His heart. This helps us discern what is truly from Him. Don’t only seek God when you need an answer. Seek to know Him so deeply that you become familiar with His voice. The goal isn’t simply hearing God. It’s knowing Him and following when He speaks. Reflection Am I spending enough time with God to become familiar with His voice? What distractions or other voices have been louder than God in my life lately? Today, ask: “Father, help me recognize Your voice and give me the heart to follow You when You speak.”

The next challenge starts AUGUST 10th! This challenge we will focus more on self care, taking care of our temple and the book of proverbs! This challenge will be life changing!
