S2E6—Ben Mordecai: Health & Fitness

Benjamin and Michael are joined by Ben Mordecai for an interview and discussion on the topic of health and fitness, including diet and exercise. Ben interacted thoughtfully with the previous episode on gluttony, and was thus invited to join as a follow-up. Things touched upon:

• Ben's Christian experience & social media presence.


• The intersection of faith and fitness.


• Ben's starter guide to health and fitness.


• Dialogue about the gluttony episode (e.g. purpose of food, pleasure, social contexts, etc.).


• Are there exceptions to the general rule that obesity is the result of gluttony?


• Why are obesity, along with poor health and fitness, such problems in our day?


• Is procrastination sometimes better thought of as a lack of clarity?


• How does a person determine target body weight?


• The place of calories and food in fitness.


• The difference between exercising for weight loss vs. weight gain.


• What are the benefits of a gym vs. home?


• Common mistakes of fitness novices.


• How can we be encouraged to pursue ordered health and wholesome fitness?
