We are never alone! “You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.”
Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“One minute of exercise buys you five minutes of extra life.” This quote from the interview grabbed my attention. I wonder how every minute we praise Jesus builds up our spirit, bringing strength to our faith?! Then combining it with exercise!! Powerful!

Come join us in Ellensburg this October every Monday at 10am for an hour of exercise for your body - AND your mind and spirit as we flex all these areas with energizing praise and worship music. Only 4 fall classes and then we will meet again in spring the months of April-May for 6-8 weeks….

If you can’t join us in person, you can still experience Fit for the King on YouTube with our recorded classes. 

Euan Ashley joins Derek to discuss the benefits of exercise and our current scientific understanding of why it helps

The Sword of the Spirit.... arms strong, representing the sword, the word of God.

Technique: Your feet are lined up correctly if an imaginary straight line is drawn from the front heel back and intersects the back arch. The front foot faces forward (parallel to the mat) and the rear foot faces out 45 degrees. The back leg is straight making sure the rear hip does not rotate forward. Torso is positioned directly over the hips.

Modification: Decrease the width in your stance, depth of lunge and arm height.

As you reach long through your fingertips, imagine the protection as if your arms and fingers are “swords”, with God’s Word protecting you in front and behind.

Scripture: Heb 4:12-13
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Happy new year! We are excited to start up our blog again as a way to share information, communicate with each other and encourage each other! We will be posting videos of classes plus blogs of our class lesson each week.
