10. JT – Question ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….

Is it sinful to get weary in well doing?

11. Bob & JT discuss

Galatians 6:9 (ESV) — 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Jeremiah 12:5 (ESV) — 5 “If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses? And if in a safe land you are so trusting, what will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?

Jeremiah 20:9 (ESV) — 9 If I say, “I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name,” there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot.

Matthew 11:28–30 (ESV) — 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

12. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”

How do we keep mentally alert and avoid becoming weary?

13. Bob & JT discuss

Matthew 11:28–30 (ESV) — 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Isaiah 40:30–31 (ESV) — 30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; 31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

14. (JT) Third Question …. From the physical side of life…

I’m doing aerobic exercises 5 days per week but I’m not seeing the weight loss I was led to believe would happen. Should I continue or go on to something else

15. Bob and JT discuss…
16. First consider the benefits

• reduces the riskTrusted Source of diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular disease (CVD)
• improves life expectancyTrusted Source and symptoms for people with coronary artery diseases
• stimulates bone growth and reduces the risk of osteoporosis when at high intensity
• improves sleep hygiene
• enhances stamina by increasing the body’s ability to store energy molecules, such as fats and carbohydrates, within muscle

2. There may be some benefits to adding some resistance exercises such as weights or bands in two of the five slots.

Anything else JT?
