WholeHARD45
Founded by Dr. Steve Holt, Worshipper & Warrior is a ministry that exists to challenge and equip men to become wholehearted worshippers of God and warriors for Christ. That road runs through honesty, not performance — walked alongside other men who won't let you fight alone.
45 days. New habits. A new man on the other side.
What is WholeHARD45?
New thinking builds new habits. New habits build new character.
New character builds a new destiny.
That's the principle behind WholeHARD45—45 days of daily challenges built around Jesus's greatest command: love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:30-31). Every challenge trains a piece of that—spirit, mind, and body, all interconnected.
It requires a bloodstained ally, someone who knows the journey and won't let you quit alone.
And yes, it's hard. Building anything worth having always is.

I'm calling it WholeHARD45 because the next 45 days will be hard. It's always hard to build new habits — to go to the higher ground of healthy living. You're building brick by brick, a new you: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically. It will require wholehearted commitment. WholeHARD45 could change your life. Bring it on.

The 10 Daily Challenges
Founded by Dr. Steve Holt, Worshipper & Warrior is a ministry that exists to challenge and equip men to become wholehearted worshippers of God and warriors for Christ. That road runs through honesty, not performance — walked alongside other men who won't let you fight alone.
Title 01
Your thoughts are the architects of your destiny. So, Read the Bible, Pray, and Journal. I would encourage you to use Jay Inman’s PB&J book/journal. You can order it on Amazon. If not, then read 3 chapters in the Old Testament and 3 chapters in the New Testament each day. Start in Genesis (first book of the Old Testament) and Matthew (first book of the New Testament). Start with prayer. Then read your Bible. Finish with writing in your journal.
Title 01
Exercise. Studies prove the most important way to oxygenate your brain, stave off mental decline, and build your physical strength, is working out. The study of neuroplasticity has shown that even as we age, we can continue to increase our IQ through a daily work out. Just 30 minutes each day could change your entire outlook on life. Find a routine you can maintain. A little done consistently is better than a lot done sporadically.
Walk. If you can do your walk outside, this would be best. Eighty-eight percent of Americans are Vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin. By getting outside in the sun each day for 30 minutes with no sunscreen or sunglasses, one can build up and maintain the daily need for the “happiness vitamin.” In addition, clinical studies have shown that walking just might be the most important way to lose weight and strengthen one’s core.
Title 01
Start helping others each day. Helping others builds your love quotient. Look for opportunities to help or encourage someone in need. People in need are all around us. You can text an encouraging word. You can call someone who’s lonely. You can take time to help someone with a task.

Title 01
The huge amounts of sugar, fat, and GMOs in our fast food, junk food, and processed food are killing us. No eating fast food or junk food. None. We are the unhealthiest, most obese nation in the world. Replace all those quicky stops at fast food places with God-Made-Food. God-Made-Food is naturally grown, no pesticides sprayed, organic food. Only eat out at restaurants that serve healthy food. Learn to make good meals at your home. Sorry folks, Chick-fil-A is fast food!
Title 01
Leaders are readers. If you’re not a reader of good literature, I hope you will be after these 45 days. Read books you are motivated to read. If you enjoy history, read history. If you enjoy learning about great men and women, read biographies. If you want to improve your health in a particular area, seek the best books in those categories. If you want to improve your leadership, read leadership books.
Title 01
EmpowerU is designed to do just what it says: empower you! One of the great lessons of life is keeping the edge of learning. It’s up to you to keep empowering yourself. Go to https://www.youtube.com/@EmpowerU.Content and subscribe; it’s free. We now have one hundred episodes. Each episode of each category is only 15 minutes long. The Foundations series is the best for getting started.
Title 01
If you’re married, take time to pray with your spouse. The statistics are astounding. Couples who daily read the Bible and pray together have less than 1 in 1,018 chances of divorce. This just may be the #1 way to divorce-proof your marriage! I know it’s scary to pray together out loud. But just start doing it and watch what God will do.
Title 01
If you don’t have a Bloodstained Ally, get one. If you have one, ask if he will hold you accountable to each daily challenge. The requirement is that you text, email, or call your Bloodstained Ally each day and let them know of your progress or struggles. Even better, do WholeHARD45 together with your Bloodstained Ally.
Title 01
No sex outside of marriage, and that includes not looking at any porn. It’s killing your spirit, your relationships, and especially your marriage. The dopamine dump you get from fixating on sexual images is destroying your brain (and your life). The good news is that research proves one can re-dig the ditches of one’s frontal cortex through rerouting our need for dopamine with healthier habits. The other 9 habits can reform your brain if you are willing to learn to completely fast from porn.
