What if the Church became the healthiest community on earth — inside and out? Let me rock the boat a little and talk about what most pastors shy away from.

Welcome to The Refinery Movement Podcast, a podcast for women of God who are ready to reconnect their faith and fitness. Hosted by AJ Amrhein, a Christian strength and conditioning coach, former WWE Superstar, this show uncovers the truth about two extremes that hold women back: the sin of neglect and the idol of the mirror.

In this episode, you’ll hear some bold things- hard truths- honest conversations about body image, discipline, nutrition, and spiritual growth — what is actually happening spiritually with health in the world- all through a biblical lens. You’ll learn how to care for your body not out of guilt or vanity, but out of worship and stewardship.

This is where strong women rise — not by chasing perfection, but by pursuing purpose.

All the juicy bts of what actually happened at WWE and where I am at now, and how my life has been all about risk, surrender, and refinement.

I talk about what it was really like stepping into the WWE with no wrestling experience, why I almost didn't sign in the first place, experiencing the spotlight, walking through career-ending injuries, and finding divine purpose in the middle of pain. From learning obedience in the spotlight to launching The Refinery Movement, I'll reveal how God prepared me for such a time as this.

💬 You’ll learn:

• How to trust God when life takes an unexpected turn
• Why obedience always leads to purpose
• How fitness, faith, and entrepreneurship can work together for Kingdom impact

If you’ve ever wondered how God can use your story — no matter how unlikely — this episode will remind you that nothing is wasted when it’s surrendered to Him.

When it comes to building real strength-whether it's muscle or character—tension isn't the enemy. It's the training ground.

In this episode of The Refinery Podcast, we break down what Time Under Tension (TUT) means in the gym-how elite athletes use it to maximize muscle recruitment, why it's essential for growth, and how slowing things down can actually speed up your results.

Then, we flip the script. Because the same principle applies to your walk with Christ.

When life gets heavy and the pressure sets in, that tension can refine your faith like fire refines gold. It's in the waiting, the resisting, the holding on—that's where God forges endurance, grit, and spiritual power.

If you're in a season of resistance, don't tap out. This one's tor you.
