F Cubed: Fitness, Finance, and Faith

Alright everybody...let's all take a second and get a big, long stretch under our belts. And not only that, but let's take another second to make sure we've got a system in place to continually stretch ourselves. From fitness, to finance, all the way to faith, we're talking more than just toe-touches today. Set your fat loss on fire! www.livefcubed.com/the-secret-to-fat-loss Tuesday Night Q&A on F...

God loves it when we follow His commands. When we are obedient and live to put action behind our faith, He is so pleased. So that is why I'm fasting tomorrow (with Autumn) for the whole day, for the first time ever, simply out of my love for Christ.

Had coffee with the resident pastor at our church the other day, and he dropped a double-sided bomb on me. He said, 'Jim, I always start my day by remembering that I'm already sanctified in Christ, and I'm actively pursuing the process of sanctification in Christ.' I heard this, and it left me feeling invincible. I pray that you might feel the same here today. Set your fat loss on fire! www.livefc...

In all three of the Fs, fitness, finance, and faith, what are the biggest mistakes we make? Today, we move through each of the Fs and offer up our top contender in each category.

Big ups to my girl Amy Porterfield for giving me the idea for today's podcast on "closing loops". All of those unfinished projects we have dangling out there are open loops and incomplete ideas. These wreak havoc on our state of mind - especially when it comes to physical fitness. Not to mention, we learn that this whole idea of closing our loops is rooted in Scripture itself. Set your fat loss on...

Today, we're tossin' a shout-out to the old Fitness & Your Finance days, with a fitness/finance only piece coming at ya. Specifically, we're talking some good ol' fashioned masonry with a little bricks and mortar. In other words, physically or financially, you've got to understand the difference between what really matters and what really kind of doesn't. Set your fat loss on fire! www.livefcubed....

Have you guys ever felt like God just didn't care about you? Like He had forgotten you and just doesn't have time for your silly little concerns? I know have - a ton of times. Well, leave it to my man Charles Swindoll to give us some great inspiration to get us through these tough times!

The stock market continues to print all-time high after all-time high, and that has been the case for quite some time now. So, if you're a younger investor, then this is the only market you've ever known - one that only goes higher. In reality, though, the market ebbs and flows and will certainly retreat at some point the future. In the event it actually does, here's one simple strategy to help re...

With physical fitness or financial security, you've got to think strategically. You can't expect to 'float through' and achieve your goals. Regardless of whether your goals are fat loss, muscle gain, saving, spending, or investing, you've got to have a structure in place to move you closer to your objectives.

A few days ago, completely out of nowhere, I came home with the driest mouth possible. Despite my drinking gallons upon gallons of water, I had this unquenchable thirst that I had not experienced before. Little did I know, it wasn't a physiological thing at all. It was a spiritual thing. Tuesday Night Q&A on FB at 8:15 www.facebook.com/jschultzf3/ Download 'The Mystery Behind Motivation' www.livef...

Once you settle into your training at some level, you'll likely wonder: should I be using light weights or heavy weights? This a great question, and interestingly, the answer is - it doesn't matter. I know, I know...many of you who know me are going to be surprised by that answer because I love me some heavy weights! But, for those of you out there that much prefer to use lighter weights (for good...

Dividends are a powerful thing, when it comes to the world of investing - especially long-term investing. A dividend is literally nothing more than a cash payment made from the company to you - the shareholder. As a result, the "yield" that you earn from the dividends is based on your purchase price in the stock, which is fixed. Thus, your dividend yield is "frozen". Actually, as I realized mid-se...

Do you guys remember playing video games as a child? Regardless of what game you were playing, there was no better feeling than hitting that reset button, the second you messed up. Being able to start over always brought with it a relief that couldn't be found anywhere else. If only we could do that in "real-life"... Well, we've got a little faith only motivation rolling through the pipes at you g...

If physical fitness is important to you, I'd be willing to bet that you've spent an inordinate amount of time in a fat loss, or dieting, phase. So, when it comes time to pump the brakes, and give your mind and body a rest, it can be quite a challenge - especially when the scale starts to go UP (as it kind of should...at least a little). Psychologically, this can be a tough pill to swallow. So, com...

Hopping into the wayback machine today, back to April 23, 1910, to Teddy Roosevelt's Speech, "The Man in the Arena". The basic idea? In fitness, finance, or faith, don't let the critic who has never set foot inside the arena dissuade you from your goals and aspirations. Buckle up, though, because these naysayers are out there - and they're coming... FULL THROTTLE FAT LOSS (BETA) www.livefcubed.com...

Leave it to my man, Tim Keller to speak the Truth! In listening to one of his recent YouTube videos (linked here https://youtu.be/JIqukBW-cGU), I was reminded that the gospel is "news" not "advice". When most people think of religion, or even Christianity, they often times view it as advice or counsel. The Truth is, the gospel isn't advice at all - it's news that requires no action on your part. F...

For me? Simple. Brownies and Chocolate Chip Cookies. Sure, on a flexible diet, I COULD have these, if I wanted to, but I know better. Not only are these choices a little low on the nutrient scale (making the rest of the day pretty challenging), but I know that the likelihood that I overeat on either of these is about 100%. Ain't no scenario where I'm having 140 grams of a hot brownie with walnuts,...

Motivation is an interesting thing. I would argue it's a necessity to get started, but it will never last. Ultimately, it will fade, and habits will take over. Still, in order to overcome the inertia of beginning, we need some fire. So, how do we find that inspiration, when it's just not there? Here's one way - that is so simple, it's sneaky.

Do we need to prove market randomnesss? No, I think the burden of proof is on proving they AREN'T random.

Physical fitness... Financial stability... Christian faith... ...it doesn't matter. If any of these are important to you, then don't tell me what you're going to do - show me.

Big shout out to both my wife (for sharing this idea with me) and to Jen Wilkin (for being the original author of said idea) for serving as the inspiration for today's episode. The idea is this - sin starts in the mind, not in the heart. It is an intellectual thing before it is an emotional thing. Our hearts do not naturally want to welcome and embrace God into our lives...they want to rebel and d...

An interesting phenomenon that occurs inside of the investing world is something called, "Dividend Smoothing". The basic idea is this... While companies are not obligated or required to make dividend payments to their shareholders, you almost always see a steadily growing dividend payment stream over time. The reasoning and rationale for this is simple, once you understand the dynamic relationship...

I've often heard that to reach your physical fitness goals, you have to think of it as a marathon and not a sprint. I love the spirit of that idea, but I want to take it a step further because success in fitness (or finance or faith, as we talk about) isn't a one-dimensional marathon. It's a multi-dimensional triathlon or ironman that requires skills in several fields of discipline. Tuesday Night...

So, the very nature of F Cubed, Fitness, Finance, and Faith, spawned the idea for W Cubed: Where, Why, and What (or possibly, Why, Where, and What...I'll leave that up to you.) Easily applicable to each of the Fs inside of the cube, you need to answer each of these Ws, if you truly want to unlock your potential. In the interest of time, as I can be a bit long-winded in spots (read: in ALL spots),...
