Goals.  We all make them, especially as a new year rolls around.  On today’s episode, Kris and Tim talk about do’s and don’t’s they’ve learned in goal setting, and about their own physical, spiritual, family, and vocational goals as they head into 2019.

Testing 1, 2, testing . . .

How can what we are experiencing in the gym translate into a richer life with God?  This week Kris and Tim talk through the second of their three lenses for looking at the spiritual side of fitness: physical exercise as a spiritual discipline (aka, a means by which we grow in our relationship with God).  Along the way they talk about their hits and misses on 2018’s annual goals, eating dinner while squatting, anagrams, and the Sasquatch.

How is fitness spiritual? In this episode Pastor Tim Morey and Koach Kris Germain approach this question through the lens of stewardship. Everything we ever do in this life, we do through the use of our bodies. Determining to intentionally care for the gift of our physical well being can be one way we “honor God with our bodies.”

This week Koach Kris and Pastor Tim sit down with Jeremy Brandt – actor, airline pilot, and all-around tall handsome dude.  The topic: how, in the midst of all the busy, do we make sure we’re doing what’s most important?  How do we use time in a way that honors God?  This too is spiritual.

Can helping people find greater physical health be part of our service to God?  And can it open the door for spiritual health as well?  Today Tim and Kris discuss the ways that our work in the gym can be a means of bringing God’s work of grace into people’s lives.

What if you decided to start a CrossFit box, and accidentally discovered it was a ministry too?  This week Tim and Kris sit down with Betsy Chou and Britt Faris, two women who are making ordinary moms into Wonder Women.

An often underrated component to the secret sauce we find both in the CrossFit box and in the spiritual life is encouragement.  A word of sincere, honest, and well-aimed encouragement can give a person strength to keep going when they think their strength is gone.  In today’s conversation, Koach Kris Germain and Pastor Tim Morey reflect on what it looks like to reach for the sauce in the gym and in life.

Leadership can happen from a safe distance, or it can happen in ways that are personal and dirt-under-the-fingernails close.  In this episode Koach Kris Germain and Dr. Tim Morey reflect on the ways their leadership has been informed by the Incarnation, and the ways they are learning the importance of generosity, hospitality, and proximity as leadership practices.

So there’s this guy named Eric Chang.  He’s obsessed with making the people around him better.  He does this as he coaches at CrossFit Reason, and he utilizes his box’s resources to make a difference in as many lives as possible.  In today’s episode, Eric sits down with Tim and Kris and shares his story, which leads to some good conversation around what it means to live into the purposes God has for us.
