How caring for your body helps you show up for your life, your family, and your mission.

Is physical health just about looking good—or is it part of living on mission for God? In this episode, Becky, Zer, and special guests Tony and Carlos dive into the surprising connection between physical fitness and spiritual formation. They unpack the joys and challenges of stewarding the body God gave you—through sleep, diet, and exercise—with honesty, humility, and humor.

They tackle practical questions 👇👇

• Is physical health a response to the gospel?  
• How do you treat your body as a temple and a vessel to be used for God's kingdom? 
• Why is being "healthy" a big deal?  
• How to talk about fitness with your spouse?
• Is meal prepping a spiritual discipline?
• How do you break free from the shame, idolatry, or laziness that holds you back?

With biblical truth and real-life stories, they challenge listeners to view health not through a lens of vanity, but as a form of worship. Whether you're a gym rat, a couch critic, or just trying to drink more water, this episode will help you rethink how you care for your body in light of the gospel.
