No band, no podium, no spotlight—no problem! Heaven still sees your work. Drawing from Ephesians 4:11–12, Arnie and CJ discuss how every act of service, no matter how unseen, strengthens the church and impacts lives. CJ shares personal stories about the unsung heroes in his life, including his wife and mentors, and offers practical encouragement for introverts and those who feel unnoticed in their service.   Take action with the 4 R’s:   Read: Ephesians 4:11–12 – “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.”   Reflect: Consider the people in your life and church who serve quietly behind the scenes. How does their faithfulness impact you and others? What small acts of service can you do today that might go unnoticed but make a big difference?   Respond: Pray, “Lord, thank You for those who serve faithfully without recognition. Strengthen and encourage them today. Help me to notice and appreciate their efforts, and give me the courage to serve in ways that build up Your church.”   Reveal: Show gratitude to someone who serves behind the scenes—send a text, make a call, or thank them in person. Let them know their work matters. Share this episode with someone who needs encouragement, and keep building up the body of Christ together.   Don’t forget to answer today’s Bible quiz: Where is this encouragement from Paul found? “Acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” Leave your answer in the comments or email Arnie at arniec@bttb.org.   Remember, spiritual fitness isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up daily. Celebrate your spiritual reps, encourage others, and join us tomorrow for another workout for your soul. What you do today truly matters!   Keywords: Arnie Cole, CJ Cooper, Spiritually Fit Today, spiritual fitness, Ephesians 4:11–12, behind the scenes, church service, encouragement, introverts, Christian podcast, Bible study, spiritual growth, Christian encouragement, serving others, body of Christ, daily devotional, Christian motivation, unsung heroes, gratitude, prayer, discipleship, mentoring, faith in action, Christian community, spiritual discipline, Bible memorization, Christian living, Back to the Bible
