Take 40 days to realign your life.
The 40 Day Fight is for anyone who wants their faith and their health moving in the same direction. It’s a 40 day challenge: you set specific targets to hit every day in the five life domains (Spiritual, Relational, Physical, Mental and Financial), and then you fight to do them for 40 days straight. Think of it as a Christian 75 Hard.
40 days is a Biblical time frame that allows us to connect with Jesus in a unique way. It’s the length of time He was tempted and fasted in the desert. It’s long enough to develop new habits and set the foundation for ongoing practices, but it’s short enough to feel like something we can accomplish.
The little things we do every day are shaping who we are becoming. How we spend our time, what we give our attention to, who we surround ourselves with, and the habits we practice are continually forming us, often without us even realizing it.
The 40 Day Fight is an intentional journey designed to help you take small, meaningful steps in the right direction. Through biblical truth, practical habits, and a supportive community, we want to equip, encourage, and empower you to live a life that honors and glorifies God, and to experience more of the full and abundant life He desires for you.
It’s not about getting everything right. It’s about intentionally stewarding the life you’ve been given so you can live healthier, lead better, and love deeper: one day, one choice, and one habit at a time.
Everything you need to take intentional steps forward over the next 40 days: Spiritually, Relationally, Physically, Mentally, and Financially.

Forty days. Five Life Domains. One intentional step at a time.
Live Healthier. Lead Better. Love Deeper.
There are five 40 Day Fights each year, New Year, Lent, Summer, Fall and Advent.
Each of the five fights has a different devotional, and every participant gets the daily devotions by text and email and an e-journal. For $12 more you can add a physical journal at checkout, with 40 days of devotionals, resources, and plenty of journal space for your 40 days.
Once you sign up, give yourself time to pray and plan your fight. If you’re changing what you eat, you need to get groceries! If you’re adding a simple workout plan, you need to plan when you’re going to do the work. Remember the goal is to hit all 5 domains, every day, for all 40 days!
There are five fights a year. Pick the one that fits your calendar.
Sign-up for each fight stays open until three days after it starts.
Set daily targets in all five life domains: Spiritual, Relational, Physical, Mental and Financial.
Fight to hit those targets every day, for 40 days straight.
Connect with other fighters in the community hub, or better yet invite others from your small group, or gym or family to Fight alongside of you.
This is about spiritual growth and relationship with the Triune God. We want to cultivate and grow spiritually with intention.
This is about both the quality and depth of our relationships. The relational equity (or trust) we have with others has a massive impact on our health and overall joy and peace.
The pursuit of lifelong fitness and wise stewardship of the body through both movement and nutrition. We weren't meant to be dormant. Physical activity is a critical part of this challenge. We have one life and need to make the most of it.
The creativity and knowledge we have available to invest. The skills and competencies we learn allow us to thrive in life. We need to continue to learn in order to run our Race with endurance.
Financial Domain is the money we steward and invest. It ranks lowest, yet we can overvalue or undervalue it. More rarely satisfies, but generosity, using resources for others, often increases joy.

Jobe and his wife Lyndsey have 4 active boys, and have lived in the Northern Colorado area for the last 20 plus years. As a former Division 1 football player, he struggled to find the right balance between his faith, fitness, family and other goals.
In 2010, Jobe started working with youth pastors and others to help them find success in their faith and fitness journeys. The idea for the 40 Day Fight was born out of a desire to see people find balance and success in the journey: to get off the diet/exercise rollercoaster, and to INTEGRATE their spiritual, physical (movement and nutrition) and mental health pursuits.
