Our emotional load-bearing capacity is largely determined by the strength of our beliefs. One of the strategies to strengthen our beliefs in our upcoming online Transformational Mind Renewal Course is morning and evening belief workouts. It starts on September 12. This blog gives a foundational understanding for belief workouts.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and
exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come” (1 Timothy 4:7-8).
One of the main ways to exercise ourselves toward godliness is to “work out” our beliefs.
We do this by having a plan to renew our minds. “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). The renewing of the mind does not happen simply through Bible reading or church attendance, but it results from a deliberate plan to think about and believe truth instead of lies. This deliberate mind renewal is like a beliefs training program.
One of my dreams is that beliefs training will become more popular than physical fitness training. As a major step toward this, Igniting Hope ministries began certifying Beliefs Trainers a year and a half ago, and we have had many participate in personal or online sessions with them. After all, nobody wants flabby beliefs. And as Paul tells Timothy, exercising toward godliness has a greater benefit than bodily exercise, so let’s get our beliefs in shape together.
Those who do the Intensive level of our Transformational Mind Renewal Course will receive three online Beliefs Training sessions as part of their class.
Also, the Intensive level is necessary for those who want to apply to be an Igniting Hope Certified Beliefs Trainer.
Yes, nobody wants flabby beliefs. We want toned and strong beliefs which overcome life’s challenges and create a positively transformed future for us, and for the people in our lives. With this in mind, here are five ways not to have flabby beliefs:
“Exercise yourself toward godliness . . . having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.” The above five steps will help you overcome flabby beliefs by exercising and strengthening them in great ways. It will benefit you in this life and throughout eternity.
