In this episode of the Purposefully Fit podcast, Coach Nick explores the challenging but necessary principle of "Submission Before Elevation." Aligning faith, fitness, and focus, she compares our spiritual and personal growth to training as a runner: just as you must endure the easy miles and follow a training plan to avoid burnout, you must submit to God's process before you can reach your true potential.

Coach Nick reminds us that submission is not weakness or playing small—it is alignment with God's will. Even if you are the most qualified, gifted, or experienced person in the room, true elevation requires a pure heart and a willingness to serve rather than just perform. Elevation without submission can lead to destruction, but submitting builds the character foundation needed to actually sustain your success.Tune in to learn Coach Nick's three practical tips for walking in submission:

• • Check your heart daily: Ensure your actions are driven by a desire to serve rather than simply to be seen.
  • Be faithful where you are: Stop waiting for the big stage and prove you can be trusted with the little things first.
  • Stay teachable: No matter how much you already know, stay open, humble, and willing to let God lead.

If you've been rushing your elevation or resisting the areas where you are being asked to submit, this episode will challenge your heart posture and help position you for exactly where you are meant to be.
