In this episode, I sit down with Mitch Muller, an online fitness coach and content creator who's not only killing it in the fitness world but also doing some serious work in ministry. We dive deep into Mitch's journey of helping Christian men get lean, muscular, and fit for life—all while keeping their focus on biblical masculinity.
We talk about what it really means to be a man according to God’s standards. Mitch and I break down how Jesus sets the perfect example of masculinity—balancing compassion, boldness, and love in a way the world just doesn’t understand. Mitch shares some personal struggles and opens up about a tough season in his life, where he had to fully lean into the Lord for guidance.
We dig into the cultural distortions of gender identity, and how we can realign with God’s definition of masculinity. Mitch’s story of surrendering to God and discovering his true identity as a son of God is powerful. He talks about a life-changing retreat where he felt the love of God like never before and even received prophetic words that spoke right to his heart. That encounter brought him to a place of repentance, healing, and purpose—something I think so many men today are searching for.
Mitch also shares how crucial it is to surrender every single area of your life to Jesus. It’s not just about looking the part or checking off achievements. True masculinity, real strength, comes from letting Jesus lead every step of the way.
We also get into Mitch’s journey as a spoken word artist and musician. He shares what motivated him to create his album, which features a mix of musical styles and some really impactful spoken word pieces. We talk about mental and emotional health in the church and how men need to step up, lead, and serve others the way God intended. Mitch reminds us all of the importance of obedience and prioritizing our relationship with God above everything else.
This conversation is one you won’t want to miss, especially if you’re a man trying to understand what it means to be strong, bold, and compassionate—all through the lens of the Bible.
