0:06.0	Hey there, I'm Christine, and I'm so excited to welcome you to the Equip and Empower podcast.
0:11.6	Now, my prayer is that our time together each week encourages you,
0:15.6	awakens you to the purposes of God in your life,
0:18.1	and activates you to follow Jesus wholeheartedly as you live on mission for
0:22.3	him. I am so glad that you've joined me today. I'm believing that God is going to speak to you through
0:30.2	his word and that you are going to be equipped and empowered to fulfill your God-given purpose.
0:36.6	You know, I love to work out and I've made it part of my daily

1:23.0	things like push-ups and sit-ups and planks. And the truth is, the more I do them, whether I like it or not,
1:29.1	the better and stronger that I feel. Well, in the same way that we've got a physical core,
1:35.0	today I'm going to unpack what I believe to be our spiritual core, the three major core
1:41.3	muscles of our spiritual life that are actually the foundation of everything that we do.
1:46.0	And if you and I can spend time strengthening these three core spiritual muscles, I believe
