031: Physical & Spiritual Endurance With Shawn Maves
What does it take to be a bodybuilding champion?
- Vision
- Good training philosophy
- Strict diet
- Atmosphere & training partners
To win at these sports you have to conform to a worldly idea and that is a problem. You can win a championship, or achieve success in academics or business and still feel like something is missing. If we look deep enough in our hearts we realize we desire something that can't be gained in this world. That something more, that real want is for heaven in us.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, "God has set eternity in the hearts of man." Because we were made in God's image, we have a spiritual thirst and eternal value. Nothing but God can truly satisfy us. God has built in a longing for himself and a longing for the kind of perfect world that we only get glimpses of here on earth. The real prize is God himself and Heaven. The dreams that fill our lives in the end don't fill us.
TD Jakes says “if you don’t have at least a vision of the promise the process will discourage you”. Just like training, we need ENDURANCE to finish strong.
Years after winning the Mr. Ontario title, Shawn re-dedicated my life to Jesus Christ. He still trains hard three times a week for personal health reasons. PRAYER, WORSHIP, BIBLE STUDY AND SHARING MY FAITH in person and through the media have become his focus. You can connect with Shawn on FaceBook, Instagram & LinkedIn
