Build your muscles and your faith in a strength training program anchored in God’s truth.
Key Points
We train our muscles as we train our faith with faithful practice.
Your body is made for ability, not vanity. We get to exercise and increase our ability through strength training.
With increased strength, we can love God and love others.
We press into the Holy Spirit and listen to our bodies.
Our bodies move well because we work from rest, not out of pride or vanity.
The joy of the Lord is our true strength, not bigger muscles.
We can build strength without buying into the lies of toxic fitness and diet culture.
We are not afraid to slow down to focus on quality over quantity.
