Things I’ve learned in my journey with Caleb’s Quest

I’ve started a quest together with one of the Bible’s significant characters. He’s name is Caleb. He’s the boldest dreamer in the bible. He’s faith and trust in God is vibrant and strong. Even at the age of 85, it’s just as strong as ever. He’s quest is not much only on conquering the promise land but more on knowing his one true God.

The Caleb Quest is all about, really: a God-sized dream, living and growing way down inside us, causing a desire so strong it can only be satisfied by our heeding it—heeding it and giving everything we have to making it come true.


I took heed of the call to further lead myself to a greater task of knowing our God. So, in one of those days where you are driven to share your learning to some significant few, I was all psyche to tell my team at work about it.

Here are some things that might just be helpful for you too…

Health is wealth. Or so we continually remind ourselves. But what does the Bible say about it.

Mark Atteberry, the author of The Caleb Quest book, said “Wouldn’t it awful if you carried a dream in your heart for forty years and finally got a chance to make it come true, only to have health problems shut you out?”

True, this realization helped me decide to be conscious with my efforts of keeping myself fit and strong and made sure my team also benefits from the lessons.

Bible verses to help you find wisdom in staying fit:

Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy and you are that temple.
1 Cor. 3: 16-17

LESSON ONE: JESUS’ EXERCISE

Did you know that Jesus’ way of exercise was walking. Jesus walked during 3 years of his public ministry of a total of 3,125 miles. Added to this mileage of Egypt to Nazareth, Galilee to Jerusalem total of 21,595 miles. Amazing walk indeed!

Exercise promotes psychological well-being. Reduces stress and anxiety enabling the person to burn off the stress chemicals that fuel anxiety.

LESSON 2: PUT A KNIFE TO YOUR THROAT (Not literal please)

While dining with a ruler, (or dining out in parties etc.), pay attention to what is put before you. If you are a big eater, put a knife to your throat; don’t desire all the delicacies, for he might be trying to trick you.
Proverbs 23: 1-3

We may have no control over some health problems. But studies have shown that we can greatly reduce the risk of most illnesses by eating right. Exercising and lowering stress.

If you’re serious about your dream, you need to think about your health habits. You need to see a doctor regularly. Don’t ask for something bad to happen!

So what are you waiting for. Sign up now to the nearest gym! Or keep away from harmful fats and sugars! Most of all be determined to keep your dream alive as you keep God’s promise in your heart and see that you get to be healthy to see it through.
