Welcome back! Today we're stepping into Week Four of your SMART fitness journey... the wrap‑up, the checkpoint, the moment where we pause and look at everything you've built over the last three weeks. If you've been here since Week One, you've shown courage, consistency, and a whole lot of heart and if you're joining us now, you're right on time because today is all about reflection, momentum, and setting yourself up for what comes next. Let's dive in!Let's take a moment to look at how far you've come.Week OneYou set your SMART goal.You showed up.You proved to yourself that you could start even if it wasn't perfect, even if it felt messy.Week TwoYou strengthened your streak.You learned how to stay accountable without shame.You discovered that consistency isn't about intensity, it's about returning.Week ThreeYou upgraded your identity.You moved with intention.You completed four days of movement and proved that you're becoming the kind of person who honors their body on purpose.That's not small.That's not accidental.That's growth. And now, in Week Four, we're taking everything you've learned and turning it into momentum.Week Four isn't about pushing harder. It's about integration. This is the week where you ask:What habits are stickingWhat habits need adjustingWhat habits feel goodWhat habits feel forcedWhat habits are becoming part of who I amWeek Four is your chance to refine, not restart. You're not going back to zero. You're building on a foundation you've already created.Here's your official Week Four Listener Challenge. “The Momentum Checkpoint”Over the next 7 days, complete this simple three‑part reflection:1. What worked? Think about the last three weeks.What habits felt natural?What actions made you feel proud?What routines actually fit your life?2. What needs adjusting?Not judging, adjusting.Maybe your workouts were too long.Maybe your schedule needs flexibility.Maybe you need more rest days.Maybe you need more variety.Adjusting is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.3. What's one habit you want to carry into next month?Just one. Not five. Not ten.One habit that feels meaningful, doable, and aligned with who you're becoming.This challenge helps you transition from “I'm trying” to “This is part of my life now.”Let's talk about long‑term accountability, the kind that lasts beyond January.Here are a few ways to stay grounded:1. Keep your goals flexible. Life changes. Schedules shift.Your goals should move with you, not against you.2. Use identity‑based languageInstead of “I'm trying to work out,”say “I'm someone who moves my body.”Instead of “I'm trying to drink more water,”say “I'm someone who stays hydrated.”Identity fuels consistency.3. Build community. Share your wins. Share your struggles. Invite someone into your journey.Accountability grows stronger when it's shared.4. Celebrate the small stuff. Every walk. Every stretch. Every mindful moment.Every return after a setback.Small wins build big momentumTake a deep breath with me.Think about the version of yourself who started this journey.Now think about the version of yourself today.What's different?What's stronger?What's softer?What's more aware? Now ask yourself:What do I want the next 30 days to feel likeWhat kind of energy do I want to carry forwardWhat's one promise I can make to myself that feels kind and realisticHold onto those answers.They're your roadmap for the next chapter.Week Four isn't the end, it's the checkpoint. It's the moment where you recognize your growth, honor your effort, and choose your next step with intention.You've built consistency.You've built confidence. You've built identity.And now, you're ready for whatever comes next.If this Monday Morning Brew series has helped you, share it with someone who's starting their own journey and as always be kind to one another and be the change you want to see in the world!Stay tuned for next week, because we'll share some of our own tips and tricks that we use to stay consistent and accountable throughout the week and we'll talk about the importance of fueling properly before and after our workouts!

Four-Week Sunday SeriesBack To Basics 2026This Thing Called Youwith Josh ReevesSun., Jan. 25The Spirit in You“Your mind is an outlet through which the Creative Intelligence of the universe seeks fulfillment.”In what is often an inability to understand the world around us, is the draw to reexamine that world which is within.When we understand ourselves, what Ernest Holmes referred to in his spiritual classic from 1948, as This Thing Called You, we begin to come to terms with the judgments and misconceptions we've had about the life that is within.We can come to realize the greater truth, that the life within is Sacred, it is Creative, and it is a Healing Power. Holmes tells us that It is the greatest discovery we will ever make and the greatest gift we have ever been given.

In our algorithm-driven world, we've grown used to filtering out everything that doesn't match our preferences. Paul calls us to something radically different. In Ephesians 4, he tells us to “bear with one another in love,” using the Greek word anechomai, which means to be patient with and accept others as they are. It's about learning to live with others when they are difficult, different, or don't think like we do. Following Jesus means resisting the urge to demand people change to fit our preferences and instead learning to love them as they are. 

Thanks for listening! We pray you are blessed by this and that you experience the love and closeness of Jesus through it!Here's the scripture referenced in the message:1 Cor 15:1-7 1 Cor 15:1 1 Cor 15:8-10 2 Cor. 4:5-9Col. 3:12-13First time or new here?

Holy Habits | Pastor Jeremy Isaacs | Week Four by Generations Church

Welcome back! Hope you are all having a great start to your Day, grabbing your marinated bean water or tea and I have to say I'm so thankful you choose to listen to us and I hope that we help kickoff your Day in a positive and focused way! Well today we're stepping into Week Three of your SMART fitness journey. If you've made it this far, take a second and acknowledge that. Most people fall off after Week One. But not You! You're still here. You're still showing up. That matters. Week Three is where your habits start to take shape. It's where your brain begins to recognize, “Oh… we're doing this now.” But it's also where boredom, doubt, or life's distractions can creep in. So today, we're talking about how to upgrade your consistency, keep your momentum alive, and stay connected to your “why.”SEGMENT 1: WHAT MAKES WEEK THREE UNIQUEWeek Three is a turning point. Not because you're suddenly doing harder workouts, but because you're building identity.In Week One, you were trying something new. In Week Two, you were proving you could stick with it. But in Week Three? You're becoming the kind of person who moves their body on purpose.This is where fitness shifts from a task… to a lifestyle. But here's the catch: Week Three is also when the novelty wears off. You might feel:A little boredA little tiredA little tempted to skipOr even a little unsure if you're making progressAll of that is normal. It doesn't mean you're failing whatsoever, it means you're transitioning.This week is about leaning into the routine, not running from it.SEGMENT 2: RECONNECTING WITH YOUR “WHY”I'd love to pause and reconnect with something important... your “why.”Why did you start this journey?What were you hoping to feel?What were you hoping to change?What were you hoping to prove to yourself? Your “why” is your anchor.It's the thing that keeps you going when motivation fades. Take a moment and bring that reason back to the front of your mind. That's what's going to carry you through Week Three.SEGMENT 3: THE WEEK THREE CHALLENGE — “THE CONSISTENCY UPGRADE”Alright, here's your official Week Three Listener Challenge. “4‑Day Consistency Upgrade”. For the next 7 days, your goal is simple: Complete 4 days of intentional movement, any style, any length. Not perfection. Not intensity. Just four days where you choose to move your body on purpose.Movement options include:A 20‑minute walkA 10‑minute strength routineA stretching or mobility sessionA dance breakA yoga flowA beginner cardio videoA bike rideA swimA hikeEven cleaning or yard work if it gets your heart rate up The goal is intentional movement, not performance.You may be wondering Why this works:It strengthens your habit loop, It builds confidence, It keeps your goals flexible, It reduces the “start over Monday” cycle, It helps you feel proud of your consistency. Four days. That's it.You can absolutely do this.SEGMENT 4: ACCOUNTABILITY BOOSTERS FOR WEEK THREE:Let's talk about how to stay accountable this week as always without shame, without pressure.1. Use a simple tracking system A calendar. A notes app. A whiteboard. A sticky note on your fridge. Whatever works for you! Seeing your progress keeps your brain engaged.2. Celebrate the small winsDid you move for 10 minutes? That counts.Did you stretch instead of skipping entirely? That counts too. Small wins stack up.3. Pair your movement with something enjoyableA favorite playlist.A podcast episode.A walk with a friend.A show you only watch while on the treadmill. Pleasure makes habits stick.4. Don't let one missed day turn into a missed weekIf you skip a day, don't spiral.Just pick up where you left off.Consistency is built on returning, not perfection.SEGMENT 5: QUICK GUIDED REFLECTIONTake a breath with me.Think about the version of yourself you're becoming.The one who moves with intention. The one who honors their body. The one who shows up even when it's not exciting. Now ask yourself:What's one small action I can take today to support that version of me?How do I want to feel at the end of this week?What would make me proud seven days from now?Think on these, I'd even suggest writing down and holding onto those answers.They're your compass for Week Three.Week Three is where consistency becomes identity.Where effort becomes routine.Where small steps start to feel natural.You don't need to be perfect.You don't need to be intense.You just need to keep showing up, four days this week, with intention and compassion.Well that's a wrap! If this episode helped you, share it with someone who's on their own fitness journey.As always, thank you for taking time out of your Day to join us! Remember to be kind to yourself and to be kind to each-other, be helpful, be useful and tell your loved ones how much you love them, call that friend who crossed your mind randomly and just say hi! Pay it forward... buy that person behind you in the drive-thru a coffee, just spread love and kindness whenever you can and above all, be the change you want to see in the world!See you next time! And get ready! Week Four is the wrap up episode for this "SMART goals series" to kick off the New Years. February is where we start talking about momentum, confidence, and long‑term sustainability. This is Luis & Ashlee and you've been listening to the Monday Morning Brew!

Lead Pastor Alan Cullen

No matter who you are, what you've lived through, or where you've come from, the story of how God relentlessly pursues us has the power to change our lives. He chose to come down to our messy, broken world, to prove His great love. Rather than us reaching up to heaven, heaven came down to earth. --- In the good and the bad, the mountains and the valleys, God is with you. Tune in to Week Four of God With Us as Pastor Skyler touches on how even in the waiting, God is with us!

Life often feels overwhelming, just as it did for young Mary when the angel Gabriel appeared with life-changing news. Before delivering his announcement, Gabriel called Mary highly favored and told her to rejoice. He didn't promise to change her difficult circumstances, but highlighted the joy already present because she was beloved by God. We can become highlighters of joy for others by truly noticing people, speaking encouragement out loud, and bringing moments of lightness to their days. This doesn't mean ignoring real problems, but helping people see goodness and possibilities they may have lost sight of when life became too much to handle.

Warning: This episode contains an alarming amount of chat about a mysterious stranger called Derek and more casual mentions of “minge” in the first four minutes than any of us could ever have anticipated. It is funny, honest, slightly feral… and absolutely not one for the school run. Best enjoyed with headphones on and children safely out of earshot.So, you've just started your sober journey? Doing Dry January? Or quietly wondering what life might look like without booze? This episode is your brutally honest, slightly emotional roadmap through your first 30 days alcohol-free.Vic and Hamish take you through sobriety week by week, honestly unpacking what really happens to your body, brain, sleep, mood, social life, trousers, and overall sanity as alcohol slowly leaves the stage. Alongside plenty of science, swearing, and questionable oversharing, there are also genuinely tender moments where you might realise… you are actually doing this. Today we explore those early sugar cravings and wobbles, the sudden bursts of confidence that can catch you out, the strange emotional storms that roll in around Week Two, the clearer thinking and calmer days that begin to appear in Week Three, and that brilliant Week Four moment when you look at yourself and think, “Hang on… this might actually work.If you are five days in, swaying at day twelve, feeling uncertain at day twenty, or simply curious about how sobriety unfolds in real life, this episode gives you reassurance, humour, relatable stories, and genuinely helpful tools to get through it.You are not broken, you are healing. And honestly, you are doing something extraordinary.Press play, take a breath… and welcome to the awkward, hopeful, quietly life-changing first month of sober life.

Connecting People to Christ and One Another Through Missional Living.

As Advent draws to a close, Saint Joseph invites us to make room—not just in our homes, but in our hearts.In Week Four of A Quiet Light, we reflect on Saint Joseph, Most Obedient, and pray with Matthew 1:18–24. This Gospel reminds us that obedience isn't about having all the answers—it's about trusting God enough to take the next step. Joseph heard the call, woke up, and did what the Lord asked. No hesitation. Just love in motion.The word we're sitting with this week? ✨ Trust. The kind that chooses surrender over control, even when the path ahead feels uncertain.Our invitation this week is simple: notice where God may be knocking. Where might He be asking you to make room for Him—again or for the first time? Ask for the grace to say yes, even if it feels uncomfortable or unfinished.

This sermon for the fourth Sunday of Advent focuses on love, emphasizing that God enters the "messy" and imperfect realities of life. By examining the genealogy in Matthew 1, the speaker highlights God's faithfulness through forty-two generations of flawed individuals. The story of Joseph illustrates a "costly commitment" to trust God's plan over societal expectations or fear. Ultimately, the message of "Emmanuel" assures believers that God is present in their struggles and invites them to surrender their pursuit of perfection to Jesus.   Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

The Christmas narrative places salvation before us. The question is will we see our salvation with the eyes of our hearts. Advent reminds us that salvation is for all, but some refuse to see. So the question is not whether Jesus came for you. The question is whether you truly see Him.

12.21.25 | Pastor Jake Lemmer

This week we are invited to release the pressure of trying to manufacture hope, peace, joy, or love, and instead recognize that these realities exist outside of us because they are eternally rooted in Jesus, who is love itself. Through Psalm 136, we see that God's steadfast love (“hesed”) meets us before we exist in creation, remains with us in the ruins of suffering and loss, and sustains us in the quiet ordinariness of daily life. Ultimately, Advent reveals a love so committed that God walks the covenant path alone—fulfilled in Christ's birth and cross—proving that His steadfast love endures forever, not because we hold it together, but because He does.Support the show

Self-Righteous for Self-Aware: God has invited us to live fully aware of our sinfulness, and at the same time fully aware of God's grace. To live with both realities protects us from self-righteousness and allows us to live out the true way of Jesus. Tune in to Week Four of Lean In - Vol. 2 here as Pastor Skyler touches on Romans 2:1-16
