FITNESS
"For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come."
-1 Timothy 4:8
Strong in Body. Anchored in Faith.
Life doesn’t slow down when you’re a dad.
Between work, kids, and family, it’s easy to let your health slide. But here’s the truth: a strong dad is a better dad. Fitness isn’t about chasing abs or flexing for the mirror — it’s about stewardship.
Your body is a temple, and keeping it strong equips you to serve your family and live out your calling.
