Have you listened to our episode “Walking with God Through Physical Recovery and Daily Faith with Beth Moore- Episode 1026” on That Sounds Fun yet? Beth Moore is helping us kick off our new podcast theme, Spiritually Stronger, with an incredible conversation about walking WITH God. Listen first before you keep reading!

A friend of mine, Craig Cooper, walked four million steps in 2025. (You may remember him from THIS PODCAST EPISODE a few summers ago!)

FOUR MILLION STEPS. That seems ridiculous. Like a number that isn’t even possible. But he did. It’s like walking from Nashville to Los Angeles. And I am not even going to pretend to try to set a goal like that, but I was intrigued as I watched his Instagram reel about it.

You can watch it here.

I wanted him to break down how much he walked each day and why he did it and what the daily practice was for him, but I appreciate what he did instead. He just said, “Start walking.”

I’ve never been great at making myself go on walks just to walk. If I’m training for a race or doing some sort of step challenge with friends, I can do it. But just walking around my neighborhood has never been enticing to me.

Then I moved to New York City.
