High Calling Fitness Client, Edwin, Shares His Story of How God Miraculously Taught Him Sign Language To Communicate With His Wife.

Get ready for the most encouraging and heartwarming story that you've heard in awhile. No need for hot cocoa and a blanket. This story does it all.

In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coach Justin interviews High Calling Fitness Client, Edwin Koehler. Edwin shares his miraculous story of how God provided him with sign language in a dream (no, he's not pentecostal), enabling him to connect with his wife Tamara before they were even married, and how they now have gone on to serve in sharing the gospel to the deaf community here in the states, and in international missions. This episode highlights God's sovereignty and kindness to show his miraculous power to one couple, and how He has used that gift to multiply their good works and efforts for His glory in ordinary life, and in the spread of the gospel. We also chat for awhile about the goodness of prayer, how God chooses to work for His purposes, providences, and ultimate plan, and the blessing of communication and shared experiences in our world.

Not only is this episode fun to hear and an encouragement to the people of God, but it is also a challenge to not take for granted the everyday gifts of speech and hearing and that our words matter more than we think. Human connection and interaction and its simplicity to those that can easily hear and speak is a huge blessing.

In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coach Justin and Coach Amanda welcome special guests Mike Lohman and Gabriele Burgholzer to discuss the formation of the Veteran Strongman Association and their hopes to encourage and inspire veterans through community and sport.

The conversation explores the importance and asset of community and camaraderie in strongman sports, particularly for veterans. Lohman shares the motivation behind creating the association, which aims to provide strongman coaching, awareness of the needs of veterans, and opportunities for veterans to engage in supportive and healthy community.

The episode highlights the welcoming nature of the sport and the various initiatives planned to support veterans, including coaching, seminars, and fundraising events to help is all run. The sport of strongman and the nature of what it is can be a particular gift to veterans, and this association aims to make it more and more accessible to them.

They also explore how strongman training can serve as a supportive environment the mental health challenges that many face. Sport is stronger medicine than anti-depressants, after all. Add in lifelong friends, and you have a recipe for success. They are also committed to quality coaching, free to veterans, where they can both succeed physically and mentally. No 20 year olds with weekend certifications for these folks. If you want to coach with the VSA, you better know your stuff, and love people.
