In this episode, we open our series on the theology of fitness with an orientation of where we are in God's story and why we exist in this world.
I lay out the unpopular but glorious & most Scriptural view of Christ's reign and purposes. This is not meant to be a deep Biblical dive (although I'd love to do that if there are enough requests) but a high view of the world we live in & how it affects what we do (or don't do) with our lives as Christian men.
