“1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
What is the Forty Forty™ Challenge?
The Forty Forty Challenge is the virtual run/walk that Christians have been waiting for!
Forty Forty is an opportunity to bring your devotional to LIFE.
This happens by completing a 1-mile walk or run each day focusing on the Lord by yourself or with others and completing scripture readings. For those of you wanting to push yourself even more, we have optional daily challenges to grow your faith and become more like Christ.
Developing Jesus Habits
As someone who loves Jesus, it is vital to continue and pursue a relationship with Him through reading scripture. This ultimately sets each of us up to be fulfilled by Him daily and use what we have learned to combat the negativity and evil in this world. Consider it as a shield of protection! In working out daily by running/walking, Forty Forty hopes to create a habit of routine movement. We believe that keeping our bodies as temples unto the Lord is pleasing to Him and rewarding to ourselves. We hope you join us in 2025. ALL ARE WELCOME!

“The Forty Forty Challenge came at just the right time in my life when I needed an extra push to be intentional with pursuing a healthy lifestyle, not only physically, but spiritually, emotionally and mentally. Each day was a challenge, but so worth it as I began to see my discipline become devotion and something I looked forward to doing. Sometimes we need that extra step to make dreaming into actually DOING! This is a great challenge to do with a friend or a small group at church!”
“My hubby & I enjoyed this challenge together! It's a great way to cultivate realistic exercise habits and meditate on God's Word. Of course, it takes effort and commitment, but it is worth the challenge! Jake and I worked through this this past Fall & loved growing together. It helped us have intentional conversations while exercising! It would be fun to complete in a group and grow in prayer together! Definitely is a practical way to grow in Jesus' grace, love and truth through His Word & the thought-provoking challenges on a day to day basis.”
“If you are a beginning Christian, want to know more about God, or already have a relationship with him, this is a great opportunity to grow in your faith while also nourishing your body through exercise.”
“Every day is hard, but it pushes you! For the first time in a long time, I'm putting on my walking shoes every. single. day. Great challenge!”
“The Forty Forty Challenge really helped push me to get out of my comfort zone. I loved the aspect of walking with Jesus and getting in the word. My dog also loved that I created a new habit of movement!”
