  • Outgrowing Porn: Healing Hearts and Redeeming Sexuality with Drew Boa

    Outgrowing Porn: Healing Hearts and Redeeming Sexuality with Drew Boa
    Oct 30 2025
    ✨ Episode Summary
    In this groundbreaking episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex sits down with Drew Boa—author of Outgrow Porn and founder of Husband Material Ministries—to tackle one of the most hidden yet destructive struggles in the Church today: pornography.

    Drew combines neuroscience, psychology, and biblical truth to offer a message of hope far beyond “try harder” strategies and purity culture. Together, Alex and Drew explore how porn is not simply a moral issue but a sexualized solution to unprocessed pain—and how healing, maturity, and God’s grace provide the true path to freedom.

  • The Body Teaches the Soul: Justin Whitmel Earley on Habits, Holiness, and Stewardship

    The Body Teaches the Soul: Justin Whitmel Earley on Habits, Holiness, and Stewardship
    Oct 23 2025
    📖 Episode Summary
    In this special episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex VanHouten welcomes Justin Whitmel Earley—lawyer, author of Habits of the Household, and father of four—to discuss his upcoming book The Body Teaches the Soul. Justin shares how years of grueling work in a law firm, fatherhood, and a CrossFit gym encounter awakened him to the reality that our bodies and souls are inseparably joined.

    What began as lessons in physical endurance soon became lessons in patience, grace, and discipleship. Together, Alex and Justin explore why the modern church often ignores or idolizes the body, how everyday practices like sleep, eating, and exercise shape our spiritual lives, and why stewardship—not vanity or neglect—is the narrow road of fitness. This episode will encourage anyone who longs to bring faith and fitness together, showing that holiness is embodied, habits matter, and God designed the body to be a teacher of the soul.

    -The sin spectrum of fitness: gluttony/sloth vs. envy/vanity
    -The body as a temple: neither idolized nor ignored

    Oct 16 2025
    In this powerful episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex VanHouten sits down with nurse, fitness instructor, and Revelation Wellness trainer Kim Dobbs to explore how faith and fitness come together in the hardest seasons of life.

She offers practical insights for anyone who feels “too old” or “too uncoordinated” to start exercising, reminding us that every step is stewardship and every movement is worship.

    Together, Alex and Kim dive into biblical themes of embodied discipleship, the role of Christian music in fitness, and how staying active keeps us strong in both body and spirit.
