Understanding the Sleep-Exercise ConnectionRegular exercise has long been celebrated for its numerous health benefits, from maintaining a healthy weight and reducing the risk of chronic diseases to improving mood and boosting overall well-being. But did you know that exercise also plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality and duration of your sleep? In this subchapter, we will delve into the fascinating connection between sleep and exercise, shedding light on how physical activity can positively impact your sleep patterns and ultimately lead to a more rejuvenating rest.Sleep and exercise share a bidirectional relationship, meaning that each can influence the other. Engaging in regular physical activity can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle, also known as your circadian rhythm. When you exercise, your body temperature rises, and afterward, it gradually cools down, signaling to your brain that it's time to wind down and prepare for sleep. Moreover, exercise promotes the production of endorphins and serotonin, which are neurotransmitters associated with relaxation and improved mood, further priming your body for a restful night's sleep.On the other hand, a good night's sleep can significantly enhance your exercise performance and recovery. During sleep, your body repairs and rebuilds tissues, strengthens the immune system, and consolidates memories. Adequate rest also helps regulate hormone levels, including those related to appetite and metabolism, which can impact weight management goals. Furthermore, sleep deprivation has been linked to decreased motivation and increased risk of injuries during physical activity.To maximize the sleep benefits of exercise, it is important to establish a consistent routine. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week, spread across several days. However, be mindful of timing your workouts appropriately. Exercising too close to bedtime can leave you feeling energized and make it harder to fall asleep. Instead, try to finish your workout at least a few hours before your desired bedtime to allow your body to cool down and transition into a more relaxed state.

This book was written to be used as either a group Bible study or as an individual Bible study. It is designed to walk the learner through the basic building blocks of Christianity, so that the learner truly knows the basic tenants of their faith. We as believers must understand the God we say we believe in. To KNOW God is to love him. Jesus said in Mathew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. We find rest for our very souls as we learn more of the God we love. We learn to love him more and more as we learn more about Him and His holiness. 2 Timothy 2: 15-16 states 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. This is teaching us that we must study to learn more of God, that we need to know the Word so that we can "rightly divide" it - meaning properly interpret and understand it, so that we can share it with others. We are warned that just talking - without a proper understanding - can lead others to increase in ungodliness, so it is critical that we LEARN of God, study Him, study His ways, and fall more in love with Him as we do so.To complete this study, you will need the following:1.A Bible - one that you can underline passages in that speak to your heart, one that you will cherish as God's very word.2.An Online Bible - for quick reference, and to read multiple translations in seconds - technology is amazing!3.A pen to fill in the blanks in this book4.A journal to capture your thoughts as you go through this journey5.A quiet place to study and ponder over the Word of our GodWe offer this book as a love letter to the Saints of God. We have used this as a guide to teach Bible studies since 2012, to both adult small groups and teen small groups, and have rejoiced each and every time a learner grows in faith because they learn a new facet of their beloved Father God. Join us, and countless others, on the journey of a lifetime of learning and loving our God through Bible Study.

VOLUME 2The Cruciform Way is far more than a brief devotional rendezvous. It digs deeper than that. It requires a little more contemplation of the "self," while at the same time promising to help steady you with the same divine muscle that has steadied believers throughout the history of Man. It does this remembering that life is short, but eternity is long-timeless, in fact. And its ultimate goal: A Gospel that gives and emboldens a faith that will keep the heart and mind of the believer in Jesus Christ for and into this eternity.ENDORSEMENTS:"The Cruciform Way is a great source of encouragement for Christians today as they navigate the confusion of our culture, and Pastor Thoma does a great job with providing rich inspiration for his readers."-CHARLIE KIRK, Founder and President of Turning Point USA"Another brilliant work by Reverend Thoma! Ours is a nation and world trying to push God into the margins. But God won't be pushed, and He reminds us of this through preachers like Reverend Thoma. Society's movement toward secularism is having disastrous results. It's leaving people confused and hopeless. Thankfully, Thoma is not afraid to be faithful. This devotional shows he's not afraid to stand toe-to-toe against the world's evil and give people the truth of God's Word. And he continues to do this with passion while so many of his clergy contemporaries have long since thrown in the towel and succumbed to the safety of politically correct 'wokeness.' In short, Reverend Thoma uses The Cruciform Way to come down from the pulpit, take the reader by the hand, and walk them back to the only One who gives real hope: Jesus Christ."-SHERIFF (RET) DAVID CLARKE, Former Milwaukee County Sheriff and Author of Cop Under Fire: Moving Beyond Hashtags of Race, Crime & Politics for a Better America"Pastor Thoma never shies away from challenging his readers to dig more deeply into the Scriptures, and The Cruciform Way, his delightful devotional, is no exception. With his signature awareness and conversational style, his words become familiar to the reader as he moves from week to week bringing rich biblical theology to interface with the practical of 'life.' And his goal: to bring all of us closer to Jesus. Whether or not you have a trusted devotional resource, give The Cruciform Way a try. I highly recommend it."-DANIELLE D'SOUZA GILL, Author of The Choice: The Abortion Divide in America"The Cruciform Way is a delightful book. Thoma's writing is excellent. He's a crafter of language, resulting in the devotions within being as far from spiritual fluff as they can get. Fitting squarely to the Word of God, and following the seasons of the Church Year, Thoma peers deeply into theological truth, and yet remains unfailing in his ability to relay these truths in a personal way. This alone leaves the reader pondering the things written long after visiting with them. This Scripture-drenched devotional is just what Christians need for facing the trials of this life faithfully-and courageously! I highly recommended it!"-REVEREND PAUL CLARK, President of Lutherans for Life of Michigan and Pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Fowler, MI

Even for devout Christians who deal with pain, life can still be a struggle. Many ask, "Isn't God supposed to help me?" Many come to doubt their faith because of how they physically feel.This book answers two questions: First, how do we, as Christians, respond spiritually to chronic pain? And then, what is our response to treat that pain? By putting our faith in the center of any treatment plan, one can use the tools around them to alleviate much of their pain. By combining the realm of God's spiritual gifts with the best science can offer, a comprehensive treatment plan for pain can bring both understanding and relief. A better tomorrow can be had.

It has been said that history teaches us that history teaches us nothing. However true this may be in general terms, the fact that we so frequently look to the past in an attempt to shape our future by applying its lessons in the present suggests we remain keen to learn. In the context of the subject of this book, though the stalwarts of the faith can serve as tremendous examples, it is to the lessons of Scripture that we must turn if we are to have a better idea of what the kingdom of God is, what that means for us as believers, and how we can be better equipped to extend its values in today's world. Thus, what we understand by the term ""kingdom of God"" will not only determine whether we believe ourselves to be its citizens, but also how we think we should conduct ourselves in the light of such knowledge. It is the contention of this book that the biblical concept of kingdom as the expression of God's rule requires greater clarity of presentation in order to prevent it from confusion and/or distortion amongst Christians.
