Faith and Fitness Podcast

God’s grip on us is greater than our grip on Him.

Just like our grip in the gym, our spiritual grip can sometimes feel weak or uncertain. But the beauty of it all is that while we work on strengthening our grip, both physically and spiritually, God’s grip on us never falters. His hold is complete and unwavering, ensuring that even when we feel like letting go, we are still secure in His embrace.

REBOOT! The “Faith and Fitness” podcast is back and better than ever! After a little hiatus, Mark is rebooting the podcast with fresh energy, new insights, and even more passion for helping you crush your fitness goals while deepening your faith.

So dust off those earbuds and get ready to reignite your journey with us. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you!

Episode 10: Gymidation – Getting it right before getting it right

In this episode Mark and Tim discuss the topic of people feeling ‘intimidated’ by the gym. They build on this by further discussing the concept that people try to get their physical health to a ‘level’ before joining a gym or a fitness class, and how people will try to get their spiritual health to a ‘place’ before going to a church or becoming a follower of Christ.
