The Faithful 40 Challenge • A guided devotional experience
A finish like Roy’s is built one faithful step at a time.
Five years ago, walking down a driveway was hard for Roy. On August 15, 2026, he finished a 5K.
Faithful 40 helps you begin your own next step with a printed 40-day devotional, daily guidance inside the Faithful Fitness community, access to ask questions, and weekly live coaching with Coach Alex.

A real client • A real finish • A five-year journey
Roy’s finish began long before race day.
When Coach Alex began working with Roy more than five years ago, heart disease, multiple surgeries, pain, and serious physical limitations made even walking down the driveway difficult on some days.
At the Faithful 5K, Roy was the final person on the course. When people offered him a ride, he declined: “I’m going to finish this thing.” Men walked back to join him, local police stayed with him, and the community waited at the finish.
That kind of change is rarely built by one burst of motivation. It is built when truth, faith, wise guidance, and repeated action become a way of life.
Truth matters: Faithful 40 is not a promise that you will reproduce Roy’s outcome in 40 days. It is a structured opportunity to begin practicing the faithful next steps from which meaningful change can grow.
Not another punishment plan
You probably don’t need more health information. You need help living what you already believe.
Most people already know that movement, nourishing food, rest, and consistency matter. The harder work is connecting those choices to faith, practicing them in ordinary life, and continuing when motivation disappears.
“What would happen if I practiced one faithful step every day for the next 40 days?”
Everything included for $39
This isn’t merely a book. It is a guided 40-day experience.

Common questions
What exactly does the $39 include?
Your one-time purchase includes the printed Faithful Fitness 40-day devotional, shipping, entry into the private Faithful 40 community, daily engagement posts, access to submit questions, and weekly live coaching with Coach Alex on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. Central.
When does the challenge begin?
Day 1 for the first guided community journey is October 1, 2026. Countdown and preparation posts are already underway. Purchasers can join the community anytime after buying, including after Day 1.
What happens immediately after payment?
After Stripe confirms your purchase, you will receive instructions for joining the private Faithful 40 community. Your printed devotional will then be prepared and shipped to you.
Do I need to already exercise or be in good shape?
No. Faithful 40 is built around appropriate next steps, not comparison. It can serve someone beginning a walking habit as well as someone who exercises regularly but wants greater consistency, purpose, and spiritual alignment.
What does daily guidance mean?
Each day includes an engagement post inside the community to help you reflect on the devotional and act on it. Daily guidance is community-based rather than private daily coaching.
Is Faithful 40 explicitly Christian?
Yes. The devotional and community approach health through biblical stewardship. You do not need to be at a particular fitness level or have everything figured out spiritually, but you should expect Christian faith to be central to the experience.
Is this a subscription?
No. The Faithful 40 package is a one-time $39 purchase with no recurring charge.
Is this medical care or an individualized treatment plan?
No. Faithful 40 provides general education, coaching, encouragement, and stewardship support. It is not medical diagnosis or treatment. Consult an appropriate healthcare professional before making changes when medical conditions, injuries, symptoms, medications, pregnancy, or eating-disorder history are involved.
Your next faithful step
You don’t have to finish a 5K today.
You only need to take the faithful step in front of you. Give the next 40 days a clear purpose, trusted guidance, and a community that will walk beside you.
