In this episode  Matthew Gay, founder of FIT Church United, talks about why caring for our bodies isn’t separate from our faith - it’s part of how we steward the life God has given us.

We talk about why health is so often overlooked in the Church, what it looks like to lead by example (even when you don’t have it all figured out), and how caring for your body can better equip you to live fully into your calling.

We also tackle the other side of the conversation: what happens when health itself becomes an idol. Matthew shares his own journey from chasing aesthetics and perfection to viewing movement, food, and caring for his body as an act of worship.

This conversation is about finding that middle ground - taking our health seriously without obsessing over it, giving ourselves grace without giving up, and recognizing that we don’t have to be perfect to lead others toward better stewardship.

Can unresolved emotions get “trapped” in the body and continue affecting us physically long after the experience has passed?

This week I’m talking with Dr. Bradley Nelson, bestselling author of The Emotion Code, The Body Code, and The Heart Code, about the connection between emotions, energy and physical health.

We talk about  trapped emotions, the “Heart-Wall,” muscle testing, meridians, inherited emotional patterns, and some pretty incredible stories from his decades in practice.

We also get into the questions these practices can raise for Christians: What do we mean by energy? How does muscle testing work? Where does the information come from? And how can we approach these ideas with discernment rather than fear?

It’s a fascinating conversation!

What if some of the most powerful tools for regulating your nervous system are tools God has already given you - and they don’t cost a penny?

In this episode, we’re talking about simple ways to help your body move out of survival mode and back toward safety, connection and peace. You’ll learn how Mary, Martha and Elijah give us a surprisingly helpful picture of three different nervous system states and how to recognize which one you might be living in.

From Kingdom Breaths, singing and connection to sunlight, grounding, nourishment, face plunges, Sabbath and renewing your mind, you’ll discover practical ways to work with God’s incredible design for your spirit, mind and body.

Because the goal isn’t to eliminate stress or stay perfectly regulated. It’s to become more resilient, recognize what your body needs and learn how to find your way back to peace.
