In today's episode of Rebuild the Body, we're diving into the power of consistency and how small, intentional steps can lead to big transformations in both your running and your faith journey. Using Hebrew 12:1 as our guiding scripture, we explore why small beginnings matter, how to set achievable goals rooted in humility and why consistency matters more than perfection. Whether you're working toward your first 5K or trying to deepen your relationship with God, this episode will inspire and equip you to take the next step no matter how small.

Key Topics Discussed:

1. Small Steps in Running and Faith
2. Setting Achievable Goals Rooted in Humility
3. Consistency Over Perfection
4. Action Steps

1. For Running: Commit to three short runs or walks this week. Write down the days and times you'll do them.
2. For Faith: Choose one small spiritual practice, like reflecting on a scripture verse, spending 2 minutes in silence with God, or pray 1 decade of the rosary, and do it daily.
3. Affirmation: Write a daily affirmation rooted in scripture (e.g., "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13). Repeat it each morning to stay motivated.
