Ep. 53:

Welcome back to Renewed Strength, the podcast where faith and fitness come together to help you live stronger—inside and out. I’m glad you’re here. Today, I want to talk about something that’s often overlooked but makes all the difference: consistency.

See, It’s not about how much you can lift, how fancy your gym is, or how perfect your workout plan looks. Real progress—lasting progress—comes from showing up, staying faithful, and putting in the work day after day.

Think about it this way: if you hit the gym hard every day for one week and then take the next two off, your body isn’t going to change much. But if you show up three times a week, every week, even when you don’t feel like it—you’ll start seeing results. The same weight that once felt heavy starts to move easier. The habits start to stick. Consistency builds strength—not just in your body, but in your spirit too.

In Matthew 25:23, Jesus says,

• “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness.”

And again, in Luke 19:17,

• “‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’”

Both of these scriptures are words from Jesus, using parables to show how the natural world reflects the spiritual one.

Both passages remind us that faithfulness in small things prepares us for greater things. When we show up and do what we can with what we have, God sees that. He honors it. He multiplies it.

Your workouts, your routines, even your spiritual life—they all grow through consistency. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being present. If all you can give today is 15 minutes of movement or five minutes of prayer, that still matters. God can use that faithfulness to shape your strength, your mindset, and your heart.

So don’t get discouraged by where you are. Focus on staying steady. Over time, those small steps build the kind of endurance that lasts far beyond the gym.

This week, take a moment to check your focus. Are you chasing numbers, or are you building habits? Choose consistency. Whether it’s showing up for your workout, spending time in the Word, or just taking a few quiet moments to breathe—stay faithful in the small things.
