Chefs and Trainers

For the majority of my youth, my spiritual food was prepared for me. It was sifted, mixed, cooked and handed to me on a plate. I ate it without question, and it was so easy to digest, I hardly even had to chew it. It wasn’t until I started as a “pastor” myself at the age of 18 that I realized that I should really pay more attention to what I eat, get a variety of spiritual vitamins, and encourage others to do the same. It was also then that I realized that all of the good food that I was eating, whether I prepared it myself or it was prepared for me, would go to waste if I didn’t use it. Without a proper diet and exercise, my spiritual body was destined for spiritual gluttony, a fate many in my church had already embraced. I began to work out my faith and found a balance there that James and Paul wrote about between faith and works. So in my ministry to others, I quit being a chef and switched to being a trainer. Now I teach people how to feed themselves properly, how to chew and digest well, and how to develop a good diet for their spiritual body type. More than that though, I train with people, I help them to work out their faith through their hands and feet, to use what they’ve eaten for good. I’m getting myself ready to move to a new arena, with new spiritual athletes that I know are in an excellent facility. But I don’t know what kind of shape you’re in, or whether or not you would even prefer a trainer over a chef. I would love your help.
My questions are:
What can I help to train you for? Where would you like to go as a group?
What values / qualities are you looking for most in a trainer?
Cheers,
