Speaker 1 (00:04):
We all suck, we all stink.
It's not about being perfectbecause we're all gonna fall
this.
What do we do after that fall?
You don't really learn thingswhen everything's going good.
When we screw up, we have theopportunity to learn from our
(00:28):
mistakes.
Welcome to the Y2 FitnessPodcast.
I'm your host, aaron O'Connell,and today we are talking about
rising above the fall.
I'm sure you've heard thosecommercials Help, I've fallen
and I can't get up.
You know the old lady on theground for life alert.
(00:51):
Well, it's when we don't get up, or when we can't get up is
when the real damage is done.
That's when we find ourselvesin a lot of trouble, when we
can't get up.
But luckily for us, asChristians, we have redemption,
we have grace, we have mercy,and it's all through faith and
(01:17):
not what we have done or evenwhat we're currently doing at
this moment.
First, I want to start off thatwe have to understand our falls
.
Romans 3.23 says for all havesinned, all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God.
(01:37):
It may sound contrary, but it'sliterally the best news that
I've ever heard that we all suck, we all stink, we all are
horrible, we are all sinners, weall deserve death, no matter
what your sin is, whether if youwent off the deep end and did
(01:59):
the unthinkable or if you'rejust gossiping, all of it
deserves death.
Luckily, we have Jesus who tookthat penalty, because falling,
failing, sinning, is a part ofthe human condition and is a
(02:22):
common experience.
No matter how far you are onyour walk, it's going to keep
happening.
It's going to keep happening.
Yes, as you get further on yourwalk, what you were struggling
with before may no longer be anissue, no longer be an issue,
but then a new issue will riseup.
A new issue will rise up andthen, with the more knowledge
(02:47):
you have, the longer length thatyou have walking, those things
that tripped you up that mayhave seemed small before now
actually seem huge.
And I want to reweight thisback to health and fitness, as I
always do, as this is the whyto fitness.
All of us struggle in some way,shape or form, with health
(03:12):
fitness.
It's the condition of our dyingbodies.
It's what happened when sinentered the world.
We lost that eternity and ourbodies now decay.
We work at the sweat of ourbrow, but the issue is isn't
getting it perfect, it's notabout being perfect, because
(03:35):
we're all going to fall.
It's what do we do after thatfall, after that cheat, after
doing what we weren't supposedto do?
If we can get right back up, ifwe can get going, focus
ourselves where we need to goright away, that fall actually
may have helped us.
(03:56):
We can learn lessons.
Second Corinthians 12, 9 says mygrace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect inweakness.
And then Paul goes on.
So therefore, I will boast evenmore about my weakness.
God's grace is available evenin our lowest moments.
(04:17):
It says we most boast about ourweaknesses.
Unfortunately, when we fall,when we sin, when we eat the
foods that we aren't, what isour first response?
We tend to go hide, we tend toisolate, we tend to get
depressed and beat ourselves up,thinking that we let everyone
(04:39):
down, thinking we let ourselvesdown.
How could we keep on going andpretending like we're these
great people when we just fellis what we're going through our
minds.
And these are all lies of thedevil.
We must boast about ourweakness.
If we sit here and say, hey, Ihaven't screwed up for a year
(05:01):
and three months, what does thatdo?
Are you puffing yourself upwith pride, showcasing your
actions, how you've beenfollowing the law, acting like a
Pharisee, sadducee type ofthing, and look at how good I am
and it's the one thing I'mholding on that's going to save
me.
No, actions don't save us.
(05:24):
I have faith.
Such a more powerful testimonyis when you do fall after that
year and three months, and allof a sudden you're like whoa, I
just fell hard, but I'm gettingback up.
I'm focusing on Christ.
I'm not letting that falldefine me.
That is no longer who I am.
That is a testimony thatshowcases change.
That showcases how far you havecome, because we all fall.
(05:49):
We all fall Even at our lowestmoments.
God's grace is available to us,even if we've been going and
falling for months on end.
His hand is right there, ready,poised, to give us that
gripping hand.
All we have to do is focus onhim and not focus on what we
must do, because when we focuson him, we figure out what we
(06:15):
really need to do, not just whatour deceitful hearts tell us,
not what the knowledge of goodand evil tell us, not of some
fatality pattern of this world,but what we really need to do,
because the real big thing is iswhen we screw up, we have the
opportunity to learn from ourmistakes.
(06:35):
Proverbs 24, 16 says For thoughthe righteous fall seven times,
they rise again, but the wickedstumble when calamity strikes.
Listen to that verse.
The righteous fall seven times,they rise again.
Seven is the number ofcompletion, perfect completion
(06:58):
in the Bible.
So even though the righteousfall, complete amount of times,
a lot of times, they rise again.
This is the righteous people.
The key takeaway is we need tounderstand the importance of
learning and growing from ourfalls.
(07:21):
You don't really learn thingswhen everything's going good.
When everything's going greatand you're seeing results in the
gym, you're really not learninganything.
Maybe consistency, discipline,but even when things are going
good, it's easy to stayconsistent.
(07:43):
It's easy to stay disciplinedwhen everything's going great,
because when the things aregoing wrong, it becomes hard to
stay consistent.
When things are going wrong,it's hard to stay disciplined,
and that right.
There is when we can learn somuch more.
That is when our character getsdefined.
I will rejoice in my trials,the Bible says, for they produce
(08:05):
strength of character.
Well, endurance.
And then endurance producesstrength and character.
And strength, character givesus our hope in Christ, our
eternity in Him.
When we go through these hardpoints, that's when we boast
about it, when we go through ourfailures, when we screwed up.
(08:27):
That's when we can learn fromit.
We can see where we fell.
We can adjust things.
We can actually see how weak weare and how dependent we need
God.
When we have been going anddoing the right things for so
long and then we fall.
In the most unspeakable way itshows how much we need God, how
(08:51):
much we are no better thananyone else.
It removes our judgment fromother people.
It removes our judgment fromthose that don't know Christ,
that aren't doing anything likewe are.
It removes our pride.
It's a good thing.
It's a good thing that we fall,because it gives us the
(09:14):
opportunity to find Christ, tofind true strength that comes
only from God.
But we need to perfect thatprocess of getting back up.
Psalms 37-24 says though he maystumble, he will not fall, for
(09:39):
the Lord upholds him with hishand.
When we get back up, we need tobe focused on the Lord.
We need to be praying.
We need to find that communityof support.
If we keep falling in the sameway, we need to find that
community.
(10:00):
We need to find support.
That's what Y2 Fitness is allabout, because there's so many
people that are struggling toget to where they need to be and
they aren't doing it.
They've tried every way andthey're stuck.
Nothing's working anymore.
That's where Y2 Fitness comesin to help you get back up, to
(10:21):
re re -repr not one of mystumbling on my words, I
apologize but to take all thedamage that has happened from
all those falls and get rid ofit and submit it to God so he
can make you brand new, clean.
This isn't just in ourspiritual walk.
(10:42):
This is what happens with ourbodies.
When we keep doing the wrongthing over and over again.
Then we bounce it out with thisextreme diet over to the right
and then we fall from that.
It is damaging our bodies tothe point that they get so
adapted from these damagingthings that now you no longer
will lose the weight.
Your hormones are all whacked,you developed diseases, you
(11:04):
developed intolerances, you'vedeveloped all these negative
things and you have to go backin there and regenerate it.
That's what I help with, that'swhat Y2 Fitness helps with.
But even in the scriptures, intheir spiritual walk, we need to
be able to get back up.
(11:28):
I'm somebody that actuallystruggled a lot with this.
I've been walking with the Lordfor a while.
But man did I screw up over andover again, and they weren't
just little screw-ups.
I would dive back intomarijuana, hard, other drugs
been in the past.
I would dive into women, allthese different things, and I
(11:49):
would then beat myself up sohard because I knew the truth
but it never really entered intome.
Even still now I screw up.
But here's the difference Istarted realizing that the devil
wants me to live in thatscrew-up and be defined by that
screw-up and say how dumb I amand how stupid I am.
(12:12):
No, I'm not stupid, I'm notdumb, I just made a stupid
choice.
I just made a dumb choice thatcan be rectified.
Right now, as I speak, if Iturn my eyes to him, I will be
made clear.
I will make white as snow.
I am forgiven as long as I turnback to him and as I've walked
(12:34):
in my walk, year after year,diving into my scriptures,
reading it multiple, multiple,multiple, multiple times, I
still screw up.
But the difference is, as I getback up quickly, I learned my
lessons at a faster rate.
I'm still falling, I'm stillscrewing up, but I'm screwing up
(12:58):
in different ways.
I'm no longer screwing up inthese massive ways and stupid
things, but then all of a suddenI realize they are just as
massive and stupid, because nowI'm affecting others.
The more I'm getting as aleader in the church and in my
(13:19):
realm, I have more of an effecton others.
So the smallest little thingthat I do can have the biggest
ripple effect, which pains mealmost even more not even almost
.
It does pain me even more thanthe stupid things that seem ten
times worse in people's eyes.
That only affect me.
(13:48):
We are damaged, we all sin, fallshort of the glory of God.
But we need to get back up.
We need to focus on thetransformative power of
redemption.
Philippians 3, 13 through 14,.
But one thing I do forgettingwhat is behind and straining
(14:08):
toward what is head.
I press on towards the goal towin the prize for which God has
called me heavenward in ChristJesus.
We need to forget what isbehind and string towards what
is head ahead, press on towardsthat goal.
(14:29):
Go look at any athlete.
Go look at anyone the top, thegreatest and see how much they
screw up, see how much they failall the time.
But the difference is then theygo back and they put in more
work.
They get better because of thatfailure.
(14:49):
They learn lessons from that.
That's what we need to do, notonly in our spiritual walks, not
only in our relationships,because even in relationships
this works.
We're gonna screw it up, we'regonna become prideful, we're
gonna become selfish, we'regonna get angry at the wrong
(15:09):
time.
Are you gonna let that defineyou, or are you gonna go
instantly and ask forforgiveness?
Are you gonna go instantly andrectify the situation and go
above and beyond, not justasking for forgiveness, but
going and then showing them evena heavier load of love to show
how sorry you really are?
To go above and beyond that'sthe best response.
(15:36):
When, all of a sudden, youscrewed up on your diet and
you're like, whoa, I justscrewed up massively, you don't
just all of a sudden go oh, I'mgoing to go above and beyond and
start working out 10 timesharder.
No, that's not how things work.
You go above and beyond in asmart way, in a wise way.
You get what you need.
(15:59):
You don't try to balance it outby killing yourself more
because of that.
No, you forget what is behindand straighten forward what is
head.
You press on towards the goal.
What is the goal?
To get back on track and whenwe do that, our bodies actually
reward us in the health andfitness realm.
If you're sticking on track andit's been weeks, whatever
(16:23):
amount of time, that you'rekilling it you're doing awesome.
You're doing whatever you needto do and all of a sudden you do
eat all that stuff.
You do whatever.
Have that major weekend,whatever it may be.
If you get right back on track,your body's going to burn it up
like a furnace.
It's not used to it.
It's going to be like what isthis stuff?
What are these toxins?
(16:43):
Get out of me.
That's when you'll startfeeling yourself sweat.
Your heart rate's raised alittle bit higher.
Your resting heart rate is uphigher.
Your sleep may be a little bitcrappier, but that's because
your body's digesting things.
It's turned up.
But if you get right back ontrack, it's going to get better.
That's what I do on purpose as abodybuilder.
(17:04):
I go and I have these amazingtimes following the plan,
pressing on towards the goal,but then I purposely just flood
myself with major amounts ofcalories.
I'll eat foods that I don'tnormally eat.
Why be?
So I can turn up that furnace.
It's like taking lighter fluidon these hot coals and just
(17:26):
going right onto it, it goes,but at that moment it burns a
lot more wood.
So I better go start putting inthe proper wood right
afterwards, not just squirtingall this lighter food on,
because then afterwards I haveno more wood.
It's going to die out quickly.
You can't do that.
(17:47):
We got to go back to thosebasics and when we do that, we
learn from that mistake.
We learn it, we can utilize it.
We're actually taking ourfailures and looking at them as
good things.
We're taking our screw ups,looking at them as good things,
because it reminds us of howmuch we need Christ in our lives
(18:08):
.
So let's stop complaining somuch about how we fall, let's
stop defining ourselves by ourfall and let's rise above the
fall.
We all suck, we all stink.
It's not about being perfectbecause we're all gonna fall
this.
What do we do after that fall?
You don't really learn thingswhen everything's going good.
When we screw up, we have theopportunity to learn from our
(00:28):
mistakes.

(12:12):
No, I'm not stupid, I'm notdumb, I just made a stupid
choice.
I just made a dumb choice thatcan be rectified.
Right now, as I speak, if Iturn my eyes to him, I will be

I will make white as snow.
I am forgiven as long as I turnback to him and as I've walked
(12:34):
in my walk, year after year,diving into my scriptures,
reading it multiple, multiple,multiple, multiple times, I
still screw up.
But the difference is, as I getback up quickly, I learned my
lessons at a faster rate.
I'm still falling, I'm stillscrewing up, but I'm screwing up
(12:58):
in different ways.
I'm no longer screwing up inthese massive ways and stupid
things, but then all of a suddenI realize they are just as
massive and stupid, because nowI'm affecting others.
The more I'm getting as aleader in the church and in my
(13:19):
realm, I have more of an effecton others.
So the smallest little thingthat I do can have the biggest
ripple effect, which pains mealmost even more not even almost
.
It does pain me even more thanthe stupid things that seem ten
times worse in people's eyes.
That only affect me.
(13:48):
We are damaged, we all sin, fallshort of the glory of God.
But we need to get back up.
We need to focus on thetransformative power of
redemption.
Philippians 3, 13 through 14,.
But one thing I do forgettingwhat is behind and straining
(14:08):
toward what is head.
I press on towards the goal towin the prize for which God has
called me heavenward in ChristJesus.
We need to forget what isbehind and string towards what
is head ahead, press on towardsthat goal.
(14:29):
Go look at any athlete.
Go look at anyone the top, thegreatest and see how much they
screw up, see how much they failall the time.
But the difference is then theygo back and they put in more
work.
They get better because of thatfailure.
(14:49):
They learn lessons from that.
That's what we need to do, notonly in our spiritual walks, not
only in our relationships,because even in relationships
this works.
We're gonna screw it up, we'regonna become prideful, we're
gonna become selfish, we'regonna get angry at the wrong
(15:09):
time.
Are you gonna let that defineyou, or are you gonna go
instantly and ask forforgiveness?
Are you gonna go instantly andrectify the situation and go
above and beyond, not justasking for forgiveness, but
going and then showing them evena heavier load of love to show
how sorry you really are?
To go above and beyond that'sthe best response.
(15:36):
When, all of a sudden, youscrewed up on your diet and
you're like, whoa, I justscrewed up massively, you don't
just all of a sudden go oh, I'mgoing to go above and beyond and
start working out 10 timesharder.
No, that's not how things work.
You go above and beyond in asmart way, in a wise way.
You get what you need.
(15:59):
You don't try to balance it outby killing yourself more
because of that.
No, you forget what is behindand straighten forward what is
head.
You press on towards the goal.
What is the goal?
To get back on track and whenwe do that, our bodies actually
reward us in the health andfitness realm.
If you're sticking on track andit's been weeks, whatever
(16:23):
amount of time, that you'rekilling it you're doing awesome.
You're doing whatever you needto do and all of a sudden you do
eat all that stuff.
You do whatever.
Have that major weekend,whatever it may be.
If you get right back on track,your body's going to burn it up
like a furnace.
It's not used to it.
It's going to be like what isthis stuff?
What are these toxins?
(16:43):
Get out of me.
That's when you'll startfeeling yourself sweat.
Your heart rate's raised alittle bit higher.
Your resting heart rate is uphigher.
Your sleep may be a little bitcrappier, but that's because
your body's digesting things.
It's turned up.
But if you get right back ontrack, it's going to get better.
That's what I do on purpose as abodybuilder.
(17:04):
I go and I have these amazingtimes following the plan,
pressing on towards the goal,but then I purposely just flood
myself with major amounts ofcalories.
I'll eat foods that I don'tnormally eat.
Why be?
So I can turn up that furnace.
It's like taking lighter fluidon these hot coals and just
(17:26):
going right onto it, it goes,but at that moment it burns a
lot more wood.
So I better go start putting inthe proper wood right
afterwards, not just squirtingall this lighter food on,
because then afterwards I haveno more wood.
It's going to die out quickly.
You can't do that.
(17:47):
We got to go back to thosebasics and when we do that, we
learn from that mistake.
We learn it, we can utilize it.
We're actually taking ourfailures and looking at them as
good things.
We're taking our screw ups,looking at them as good things,
because it reminds us of howmuch we need Christ in our lives
(18:08):
.
So let's stop complaining somuch about how we fall, let's
stop defining ourselves by ourfall and let's rise above the
fall.
