I’ve been playing Disc Golf more, recently. It’s been a good way to get out and exercise a little. I have been playing since I was a Young man but I haven’t put in a lot of thought or practice, It’s always been just a “grip it and rip it” kind of thing for me. But recently I have been trying to put more thought and intention into playing. I have been watching videos and reading guides on how to get better, and I have been practicing.
I have seen some improvements already, but one of the things that still needs work is my ‘release’, where the disc comes out of the hand during the throw. This point needs to be fairly consistent for your disc or it’s going to be all over the map when you throw it. Release is a funny thing. you have to hold tight enough to get it to the point you want, but not so tight as to ‘grip-lock’ the disc and overshoot your target point.
Sometimes in our Christian life we have just been gripping and ripping, trying to muscle through our walk with the Lord without putting much intention into our way of following. We have to practice our faith life, to work on things so we are more consistent in our ‘release points’ with the Lord. Holding on too tight to things causes problems. The goal in our Christian life is to have a consistent life trajectory moving closer to the Lord.
How can you be practicing your walk with Jesus for more consistency?
