89. Faith Over Fitness: What It Means to Steward Your Body as God's Temple with Jenny Higginbotham

Click Here To Listen To The Episode!

What if the real reason we struggle with health isn't a lack of discipline—but a misplaced priority? Most of us have tried the plans, the programs, the 30-day challenges. We know what to do. But we keep falling short.

Jenny Higginbotham is a personal trainer, owner of the 610 FIT Academy, and host of the Temple Restoration Project podcast. Over 20 years ago, she asked God a simple question: "How do we train our bodies differently in light of the truth that we are a temple of the Holy Spirit?"

What followed was a journey that completely redefined how she approaches health, fitness, and faith—leading her to understand what it means to be strong in the Lord, not just strong in the gym.

Join us for a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about stewardship, health, and what it means to live by faith over fitness.

Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:

How can we honor God in our business?

Jenny has fully surrendered her business to the Lord—no formal business plan, just daily dependence on His leading. It doesn't always look "worldly successful," but it's built on obedience, not outcomes.

When we stop trying to build something impressive and start asking God what He wants us to do each day, we move from striving to abiding—and that changes everything.

One challenge from today:

Ask the Lord this week: "What's the bigger purpose, and what do I need to do to be prepared for it?" Your health, your business, your body—it's all His, and it's all for a much greater story than you can imagine.
