Sometimes the most important things in becoming "visibly fit" are the invisible things. Faith, prayer, reliance on God and His mercy when we're unable to manage the issues of life in our own power.

Today's episode focuses primarily on those super-important, yet oft-neglected spiritual disciplines. It features award-winning author, radio host and my dear friend Susie Larson, and we take a deep dive into repairing broken trust, becoming - and staying - reliant on God's grace in our lives, why the fear of man is a hindrance to our relationship with God and much more.

I hope and pray this interview with Susie will bless you just a fraction as much as Susie's life and ministry has blessed me personally!

Here's a bit of what you'll hear in today's episode:

-How Susie overcame health challenges and became known as a health and fitness authority...04:03

-Why people struggle with relying on the efficacy of Christ's work on earth for our redemption of body, mind and spirit...07:15

-Seeking validation from our fellow man is a hindrance to our relationship with God...11:33
