May 09, 2025 Wingin’ It 322.1: Faith, Fitness, Fellowship, Formation (Session 4, Walk, Water, Sun)
In SESSION FOUR of this new series, Wade discusses the importance of the basics. Why is it so important to walk? How much should we walk and when? Why do we need to drink water (and not just whatever else)? How much water should we drink? Why do we need to get outside, even in the cold?
Since losing a lot of weight over the past year, many have asked why he has been doing so and how he has been doing it. This series will talk about that, but also hopefully focus more broadly on the relationship between faith, fitness, and fellowship in formation. We hope you enjoy the series and this episode!
