Do you workout to honor God or to worship yourself?

This is an honest conversation about something that rarely gets talked about in Christian spaces.Fitness isn’t the problem.

Discipline isn’t the problem. Taking care of your body isn’t the problem.But for Renee, it slowly became her identity.

What started as health turned into control.What looked like discipline was rooted in insecurity.

Compliments didn’t fix the emptiness.

Results didn’t bring peace.In this episode, she shares what it looked like to build a life around fitness, business, and performance and then watch it all unravel.

After losing her business, gaining weight, and hitting a breaking point, she had to face a deeper issue:Her body wasn’t the idol. Her identity was.

We talk about:

• The subtle difference between obedience and striving • How to tell when something “good” is starting to own you • Why God sometimes allows things to fall apart

• What it actually means to find your identity in Christ

• How to live disciplined without being driven by insecurityThis isn’t about shaming fitness.

It’s about examining your heart.If your mood rises and falls with the mirror…If your worth feels tied to performance…If you love God but still feel controlled by how you look…
