For many people, 2020 tested their belief, their faith, and their daily walk with God.
Have you noticed?
It always seems that we look for answers or support whenever there’s a major upheaval in our lives . . .
and, so far, this year has brought plenty of that. Right?!?
As part of my continuing month-long series, I’ve been introducing you to a series of self-assessments that Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl—The OolaGuys—use in the popular 10-week coaching program we conduct together.
Now I’d like to share another one with you about your faith.
“Faith” is one of The 7 F’s of Oola—those major life areas that all our problems, happiness, improvement and challenges seem to fall into.
Is your faith strong? Or could it be stronger?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your faith?
If you answer “1,” that means low/bad/least true, while answering “10” means “high/good/most true”:
• I would rate my faith............................ ____
• I feel connected to a higher purpose.... ____
• I am plugged into a faith community and
.. continue to learn/grow......................... ____
• I spend at least 20 minutes a day
.. in meditation and/or prayer................. ____
• My beliefs and the way I live my life
.. are congruent....................................... ____
• I use my faith to help resolve conflict
.. and issues in my life.............................. ____
• I reflect on my faith often throughout the day ____
• I forgive easily....................................... ____
• I rely on my faith to guide my choices
.. and my decisions.................................. ____
• I feel comfortable sharing and
.. teaching my faith to others.................. ____
While The OolaGuys don’t tell you what to believe or which religion to follow (and neither do I), we DO know that having a strong faith is a critical part of a grounded, balanced and happy life.
If your life could be better in some area(s)—fitness, finance, family, field, faith, friends and fun—I’d like to invite you to have a chat about the 10-week Oola Coaching Program.

FAITH: Get Clear on Why You’re Here
While most people float through life unaware of their place in the bigger picture, the truth is that you are here for a purpose.
There’s a unique calling on your life that requires your attention, and one of the easiest ways to discover your unique purpose is through a greater connection to God—our true source of love and wisdom.
If the world has thrown your life off track lately and you could really use someone on your side, God is ready for a wholehearted relationship with you! And it’s this connection where you’ll discover your special purpose.
It’s where you can say, “If this is what I’m supposed to be doing, then please light my path and show me the next steps.”
It's also where you can find answers, guidance and comfort when the tough stuff comes up in your life.
Personally, I am a Faith-Filled Believer and Jesus Lover. However, I’m not here to prescribe any particular religion. But I do know that faith asks us to believe in something bigger than ourselves.
So how can you get connected and practice your faith in a greater way?
You may have guessed it. Start with just 1% Improvement!
Here are some tiny steps toward greater faith:
• A like-minded, supportive community is SO helpful in all things; especially Faith. If you don’t have a Church/Synagogue/Mosque home, consider visiting 3-4 to decide on the community that feels like a good fit for you.
Hint: don't just visit one time. Try going back 3-4 times to really get a good and fair sense of the environment.
• Try daily meditation. Recorded sessions are readily available online.
• Research Bibles you like, then purchase one to read and study.
• Set aside time for daily prayer. Whether it's a chunk of time all at once; or, like me, a conversation with God that goes on all day long.
