I am certified as a personal trainer. I got certified four years ago but haven't had much time to use that in my current position.

But really for me, personally, the Bible study has been the most important part for me.

The instructor training has also been very good.

Fitness is a great opportunity to pull men and people in and then working with

them on physical things tends to open people up to looking at other things in their lives and just

opens up some different kinds of opportunities to go deeper into people's spiritual lives and beliefs beyond just the

physical aspect of their training. I think the biggest struggle I see with men with

fitness is not that they're not willing to do it but that it

becomes an idle to them it becomes their identity it becomes how they define themselves and how they feel about themselves.

And so that can work for a while, but when people really begin to struggle and find that that's not enough for them,

there could be opportunities to go a lot deeper with men that need to hear this.

Hi everyone and welcome to another episode of the Revelation Wellness

podcast my name is Elisa Keaton and you just heard Rick from Colorado.

I love what he had to share about instructor training, why he became an instructor, and mostly his heart to see that it's a door, an opportunity to talk about

I just love it.

So if you are thinking about

instructor training, when you're hearing my voice, we're making this live on a

Friday on a Thursday evening. We have about nine or ten days left to join

the Monday class and 13 for the Thursday. It is go time. We hope
