Join Arnie Cole, your spiritual fitness researcher and coach, on Spiritually Fit Today as he explores the power of building up young people and how mentoring others can transform your own spiritual journey. In this wrap-up Friday episode, Arnie shares five compelling reasons to mentor beyond your family, drawing from both research and personal experience on his horse ranch. Discover how investing in the next generation not only impacts their lives but also brings fulfillment, enhances your leadership skills, expands your professional network, and offers fresh perspectives. Arnie emphasizes that encouragement is a spiritual discipline, not a random act, and challenges you to make a difference in someone’s life today.
4 R’s for Spiritual Growth:
Read: Dive into 1 Thessalonians 5:11 – “Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up just as you are doing.”
Reflect: Consider how your words and actions can build up those around you, especially young people who may be facing challenges and loneliness in a tech-driven world.
Respond: Pray, “Lord, help me to see those who need encouragement today. Give me the wisdom and compassion to build others up and reflect Your love in my actions.”
Reveal: Reach out to someone—text, call, or tell them, “You matter more than you know. I see God at work in you.” Show the truth of God’s Word by being a source of hope and encouragement.
Arnie also shares the story of Mordecai and Esther, reminding us that mentorship can change destinies. Whether you’re young or old, you have a vital role in God’s plan. Share your thoughts, prayer requests, or ideas for future episodes by emailing
