In this episode of The Lion and The Bear, I sit down with Ivan Cholakov, founder of the Spartan Dad Project, to discuss his journey of transforming lives through faith and fitness. Ivan shares his personal faith story, the mission behind the Spartan Dad Project, and how he’s helping men become stronger—both physically and spiritually.
We dive into practical tips for men looking to get into great shape, the importance of discipline, and how fitness can be a tool for honoring God and leading well in every area of life. Ivan’s passion for equipping men to thrive as leaders, fathers, and followers of Christ will inspire you to take your next step toward greater health and purpose.
Join us for an empowering conversation about building strength that lasts—inside and out.
