Worldly fitness fails—so why do we keep going back to it? Because on the surface, it looks like it should work.
More discipline. More effort. More control.

But underneath that system… there's pressure, frustration, and a cycle that never truly leads to peace or consistency.

In this episode, I walk you through three God-led truths that will help you step out of that cycle and approach your health in a way that actually lasts.
