In this episode of Spiritually Fit Today, Arnie Cole, your spiritual fitness coach, is joined by youth expert Caleb White to discuss how ordinary people can make an extraordinary impact in the lives of young people. You don’t have to be perfect or have all the answers—God uses everyday people to build up the next generation. Arnie and Caleb share practical steps for connecting with college and high school students, overcoming hesitancy to mentor, and the power of simple encouragement. They also address tough topics like how to respond when a young person is struggling, and how to avoid being judgmental while building authentic relationships.

Take action with the 4 R’s:
Read: 1 Thessalonians 5:11 – “Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up just as you are doing.”
Reflect: Consider how God can use your ordinary actions—like inviting a student to lunch or offering a word of encouragement—to make a lasting difference. What small step can you take today to invest in someone younger?
Respond: Pray, “Lord, help me to see the opportunities around me to encourage and support the next generation. Give me courage to show up, listen, and love as You do.”
Reveal: Demonstrate the truth of this passage by reaching out to a young person this week—ask about their day, attend their event, or simply offer a listening ear. Your presence and encouragement can be life-changing.

If you have questions, prayer requests, or topics you’d like us to cover, email Arnie at [email protected] or call 800-811-2387. Don’t forget to share this episode with someone who needs hope and encouragement. Join us tomorrow for another spiritual workout—because what you do today truly matters!
