Join Arnie Cole and special guest Jack Burke, Senior Vice President of Ministry Advancement at Back to the Bible, for an inspiring episode of Spiritually Fit Today. In this conversation, Arnie and Jack explore the power of sharing joy as Christ followers and how genuine joy can impact those around us. Discover how the joy of the Lord is not just for ourselves, but a spark that others may desperately need. Jack shares personal stories of living out contagious joy, even through life’s challenges, and offers practical advice for making your faith visible in everyday encounters. This episode centers on Psalm 118:24: “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Learn how to see your joy as a gift to be shared, and how focusing on others can transform your own spiritual fitness. Take action with the 4 R’s: Read: Dive into Psalm 118:24 and Nehemiah 8:10. Let God’s Word remind you of the source of true joy. Reflect: Think about someone whose joy has lifted your spirit. How can you see others through Jesus’ eyes today? Respond: Pray aloud, “Lord, thank You for this day. Help me to rejoice and be glad in it. Make my joy contagious to those around me.” Reveal: Encourage someone today with a sincere word of praise or gratitude. Share how their joy has impacted your life, and look for ways to lift others up. Question of the Day: In 1 Samuel 23, Jonathan encouraged David. What situation was David facing that prompted Jonathan’s encouragement? Share your answer in the comments or email Arnie at [email protected]. Remember, spiritual fitness is about showing up daily and letting God use you to bless others. If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend and help spread the joy!
