  • Faithful Fitness at Home: Parenting, Nutrition, and the “Secret Weapon” Behind the Scenes

    Faithful Fitness at Home: Parenting, Nutrition, and the “Secret Weapon” Behind the Scenes
    Jan 15 2026
    Episode Summary
    What does faithful fitness actually look like inside a real household? In this episode, Coach Alex sits down with his wife Christin—dietitian, working mom of two, and the often-unseen force behind their family’s rhythm—to talk honestly about parenting, nutrition, sleep, training, and discipline.

    This isn’t a lecture or a perfect blueprint. It’s a grounded conversation about how faith and fitness shape daily decisions at home: how they think about kids’ behavior, picky eating, sleep routines, garage-gym logistics, and why structure doesn’t have to mean deprivation.

    If you’re trying to lead your family well without chaos, burnout, or food battles, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

    Main Discussion Themes
    -Why we treat kids’ behavior as a nutrition, sleep, or movement signal before an attitude issue
    -How education (not perfection) shapes family nutrition habits
    -Raising kids who aren’t jealous of junk food—and understand why Sleep as a non-negotiable foundation for growth and regulation
    -Navigating picky eating without surrendering parental leadership
    -How we structure choice (“A or B”) instead of outsourcing decisions to kids
    -Making fitness work in a busy household with a shared garage gym
    -Why faithful fitness isn’t rigid—and how balance actually works (85/15, 80/20)
    -Enjoying food as a gift from God, not a guilt trigger

  • The Offensive Church: Taking Territory From Hell (Starts With Your Body)

    The Offensive Church: Taking Territory From Hell (Starts With Your Body)
    Jan 8 2026
    Episode Summary
    In this sermon preached at New Life Church Greenbrier (Dec. 28, 2025), Coach Alex flips a familiar verse on its head: the gates of hell aren’t attacking the Church—they’re defending. Jesus’ promise isn’t that we’ll merely “hold on” until the end; it’s that the Church advances and hell can’t stop it.Coach Alex makes it practical: if you’ve spent a year waking up on defense—tired, in pain, stuck, reactive—there’s a reason.

    The enemy targets the individual body, then the family, then the community. But when your “want to,” your “able to,” your relationships, coaching, rewards, and environment align toward God, you stop fighting alone.

    Does God Love Your Body—or Just Your Soul? - with Alisa Keeton and Revelation Wellness
    Jan 1 2026
    đŸ§Č Episode Summary

    What if the Church has misunderstood the body—not as a problem to fix, but as territory to reclaim? In this powerful, deeply personal conversation, Coach Alex VanHouten sits down with Alisa Keeton, founder of Revelation Wellness, to confront one of the most neglected truths in modern Christianity: God doesn’t just love your soul—He dwells in your body.

    Together, they explore:

    -How a woman’s embodied faith can transform her marriage
    -Why the Church is meant to be on offense, not defense, in 2026

  • The Bible's Warning About Addiction (And How To Take Back Control)

    The Bible's Warning About Addiction (And How To Take Back Control)
    Dec 18 2025
    Episode Summary
    //👉 Subscribe here: https://faithfulfitnessdevo.com/contact //

    Most Christians have been told addiction is a failure of willpower. Scripture says something far more serious: addiction is slavery. In this solo episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex VanHouten dismantles the shame-based, slogan-driven approach to addiction and replaces it with a biblical and neuroscience-grounded framework for freedom.

    Drawing from Scripture, modern brain science, and personal loss, this episode explores how addiction hijacks agency—and how embodied Christian stewardship restores it. You’ll learn why shame worsens addiction, how the brain actually changes under compulsive behavior, and the four God-designed interventions that reclaim dominion over mind and body: exercise, community, awe, and rhythm This is not theory.

    This is lived conviction—and a call for the Church to do better.

    Main Discussion Topics
    • Why addiction is enslavement, not weakness
    • How shame accelerates relapse and destroys agency What neuroscience reveals about the addicted brain.
    • Why exercise restores executive function and self-control
    • The biblical and physiological necessity of community How awe interrupts compulsive behavior and expands meaning
    • Why structure, rhythm, and routine are required for grace to take root
    • Stewardship as an act of love—not legalism

    Key Scriptures Referenced
    1 Corinthians 6:12, 19–20 — “I will not be mastered by anything
 your body is a temple”
    1 Timothy 4:7 — “Train yourself for godliness”
    James 5:16 — Confession, witness, and healing
    Proverbs 9:10 — Awe and the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom

    Quick Research Reference List
    Lynch et al., 2013 — Exercise and substance use disorders
    Wang et al., 2014 — Physical activity and dopamine regulation
    Heilig et al., 2016 — Addiction, stress, and social bonding Kelly et al.,
    2017 — Recovery capital and community
    Stellar et al., 2017 — Awe and prosocial behavior
    Walker, 2017 — Sleep and executive function

    Timestamped Outline
    00:00 – Why slogans and shame fail
    00:30 – Addiction as loss of agency, not moral collapse
    01:45 – The brain science of enslavement
    02:30 – Exercise as a non-negotiable for freedom
    03:00 – Training as embodied obedience
    03:45 – Isolation vs healing community
    04:40 – Awe as a neuro-spiritual intervention
    05:18 – Order, rhythm, and structure in recovery
    06:15 – Stewardship, dominion, and the mission of Faithful Fitness
    07:24 – Final charge: one faithful act at a time

    Core Takeaway
    Your body and mind are not the enemy—but they are the first territory that must be reclaimed. Addiction is not overcome by trying harder. It is overcome by training wisely, living in truth, and ordering your life under God’s design.

    Dec 11 2025
    Episode Summary
    In this episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex sits down with personal trainer and writer Christina Barkley, founder of Dogged Strength. Christina shares her journey from Hollywood’s entertainment world to a Christ-centered fitness practice, recounting how a powerful encounter with God shifted her perspective on health and strength.

    Together, Alex and Christina unpack the truth about New Year’s resolutions, why so many fail, and how to approach fitness with a mindset of stewardship rather than vanity. They also discuss discipleship through training, practical ways to set sustainable goals, and the importance of integrating faith into every part of life—including workouts.

    Christina also gives listeners a glimpse into her upcoming book Lean Through the Fire and how her writing and training both flow from her desire to serve others and glorify God.

  • Christian Athletes vs. the World: Preparing Young Athletes for Spiritual Warfare with Drake Reed

    Christian Athletes vs. the World: Preparing Young Athletes for Spiritual Warfare with Drake Reed
    Dec 4 2025
    Episode Summary
    What happens when athletic excellence outpaces spiritual maturity? In this powerful conversation, Coach Drake Reed—former professional basketball player, high-school coach, and author—reveals the hidden spiritual battles facing young athletes today.

    From locker rooms and college campuses to overseas professional leagues, Drake exposes why many Christian athletes collapse after success, not before it. This episode challenges parents, coaches, and athletes to rethink discipleship, identity, and preparation.

    Athletic training alone is not enough. Without spiritual armor, discipline, and practical prayer, talent becomes a liability instead of a calling. If you’re raising, coaching, or are an athlete navigating modern sports culture, this conversation is not optional listening—it’s essential.

    Main Discussion Themes
    -Identity in Christ vs. identity as an athlete
    -Why young athletes need spiritual training before visibility and fame
    -The unseen spiritual pressures in college and professional sports
    -Practical prayer, protection, and biblical literacy for athletes
    -Why parents must disciple earlier than feels comfortable
    -Coaching as spiritual shepherding, not just skill development
    -Faith, discipline, and stewardship of athletic influence

  • The Pace of Peace: Finding Calm in Body, Soul, and Home with Michelle Brumgard

    The Pace of Peace: Finding Calm in Body, Soul, and Home with Michelle Brumgard
    Nov 20 2025
    Episode Summary
    What if peace wasn’t just a feeling you occasionally experience but a person you follow daily? In this episode, Coach Alex sits down with author, speaker, and podcast host Michelle Brumgard to explore what she calls The Pace of Peace.

    Michelle shares how years of praying for calm—in her body, her marriage, and her home—revealed that true peace isn’t found in quick fixes, quiet moments, or the absence of chaos, but in Christ Himself, the Prince of Peace.

    Through vulnerable stories of motherhood, marriage struggles, overwhelm, and the practical demands of daily life, Michelle helps us understand how to pause, pray, and invite Jesus into the middle of our messy days.

    Together, Alex and Michelle unpack how peace intersects with our health, fitness, and homes—and why striving for control only leads to more overwhelm. Whether you’re a busy parent, a believer battling stress, or simply hungry for God’s presence in your everyday life, this conversation will remind you to slow down, breathe, and walk at the pace of peace.

    Main Discussion Themes
    -Why peace is not just an emotion but a person (Jesus, the Prince of Peace)
    -Michelle’s journey: from overwhelm, anxiety, and striving to living at God’s pace
    -The difference between worldly peace (quick fixes, calm moments) and biblical peace
    -Overwhelm as the opposite of peace—and practical ways to reset
    -The P.A.C.E. acronym: Pray And Continue Earnestly
