About the series

Strong foundations for ministry.

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
1 Timothy 4:8

Serving God well is not only a matter of willingness, it is a matter of readiness. Fit to Serve was a kind of training camp, six weeks on the foundations that make a life of ministry sustainable, body, mind, and spirit.

We looked at what it takes to stay healthy and whole for the long haul, so that when God calls us to serve, we are prepared to answer and able to keep going.
