206: Pentecost, Power, Purpose & Protein
🔥Fifty days after Easter (Pentecost) is the day the apostles received the Power of the Holy Spirit. Their Purpose was clear: get out and spread the good news of Jesus Christ. How did they do this Kingdom work? With their bodies. They traveled with their legs and feet. They spoke truth with their tongues. They used their arms and hands to hug, heal and baptize. Christianity wouldn’t exist without them. And it won’t exist without you and your body continuing to share and live out the Gospel. THIS is why we take care of ourselves. Not to be a certain size or scale number, but to be vessels that carry the love of Christ into the world.
Protein is what empowers the body - our holy temple - to be strong and healthy to do the work we are called to do. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how protein is the biggest needle mover when it comes to optimal weight, strength, mobility and mental peace. Come listen to this episode as we bridge this gap between Easter and Pentecost and reprioritize how we build the body of Christ as we build our bodies. 💪🏻

SHOW NOTES
(0:00) Intro
(1:25) About the Pentecost and the birth of the church
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken.
And Peter ends up preaching to all the people that were gathering and explaining what was going on. And all these people realized that Jesus was the messiah.
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” ACTS 2
(5:00) Bringing the gap between Easter and Pentecost — and how scripture reveals the importance of the body

(14:00) Deep dive about why it is important to prioritize protein
Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? Luke 14:28
