If no one has told you today, happy 265th day of 2025!

Today is September 22nd, 2025.

Otherwise known as day 265 of 2025.

Meaning, there are 100 days left in 2025.

The 2% Challenge” starts today and goes until the end of the year, and the invite now extends to you. Here it is.

The 2% Challenge

First of all, why “2%?” Well, that’s a great question.

- 1% of your day = 15 minutes

- Technically…..14.4, but round up with me here

- Therefore, 2% of your day = 30 minutes

For the final 100 days of 2025, be resolute in protecting 2% of every single day for the below:

1% (15 minutes)

- 5 minutes of reading the Bible

- 5 minutes of reflecting/responding to what you read

- 5 minutes of prayer

1% (15 minutes)

- 15 minutes of challenging physical exercise

- This can be whatever you need it to be: walking, running, rucking, lifting, working out, etc. You know your body better than anyone else. As long as it challenges you physically and you’re pushing yourself to be a better version of yourself than you were yesterday - you nailed it.

Why? It’s not about checking the box or adding another thing on top of what you’re already doing. Which, if you’re not already doing this, even if not perfectly (no such thing by the way), I strongly recommend it. I think it is about, for me at least, personal discipline and resolve to find 30 minutes out of my day to invest in my relationship with my Heavenly Father (getting in His word, responding and reflecting on what He’s showing me through this, and having a conversation with him) and also to push myself physically to be a better version of myself than yesterday.

Will you commit to getting 2% better every day with me for the rest of the year?

If so, drop me a line at dhenson1160@gmail.com or comment on this post - I’d love to cheer you on and encourage you in your 2% journey for the next 100 days. You can find daily updates and takeaways from my 2% Challenge here in Substack for the next 100 days.

Train yourself for godliness, for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

-1 Timothy 4:7-8

Stay the course, keep the faith, and fight the good fight!
