  • Breaking the Chains of Disease: Healing, Hormones, and Holy Stewardship with Coach Amanda Jabczynski

    Breaking the Chains of Disease: Healing, Hormones, and Holy Stewardship with Coach Amanda Jabczynski
    2025/07/10
    🎧 Episode Title: Breaking the Chains of Disease: Healing, Hormones, and Holy Stewardship with Coach Amanda Jabczynski

    📝 Episode Summary: In this episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex sits down with Coach Amanda Jabczynski—also known as Coach AJ—a retired Navy veteran, homeschooling mom, and certified health coach with a transformative story of reclaiming her health and faith.

    Diagnosed with prediabetes after following a wellness protocol that was supposed to prevent it, Coach AJ found herself at a critical crossroads. Rather than succumbing to medication and generational patterns of illness, she turned toward a radically different approach—anchored in Scripture, rooted in fasting, and empowered by Christ.

    Together, Alex and Amanda explore:
    -How women’s bodies respond differently to fasting—and why fasting “like a girl” matters
    -What it means to put Christ at the center of your health journey
    -The tension between "vanity" vs. "ability" in modern fitness culture How Amanda broke generational cycles of disease and how you can too
    -The emotional and spiritual awakening of seeing yourself honestly, sometimes for the first time
    -Practical ways spouses can support one another in stewardship—not sabotage

    Whether you're battling burnout, managing hormones, or simply looking to realign your body with your beliefs, this conversation will bless, challenge, and inspire you.

  • How Faith & Fitness Forge Life-Changing Fatherhood — Ben Barker

    How Faith & Fitness Forge Life-Changing Fatherhood — Ben Barker
    2025/07/03
    🔥 Episode Summary:

    In this power-packed episode, Coach Alex sits down with Ben Barker—husband, father of four, fitness coach, and host of Real Talk with Ben & Kim—to explore what it means to be a fit father who follows Christ.

    Their conversation weaves humor, hard-won wisdom, and raw encouragement for every man striving to lead his home with strength, humility, and purpose.

    Ben shares how his own fitness journey evolved from chasing performance to prioritizing presence—at home, in his community, and in his walk with Jesus. They dive deep into the spiritual conviction behind fitness, what it looks like to lead through play and service, and how the world is desperately hungry for present, powerful fathers.

    If you've ever wondered how to balance faith, fitness, and fatherhood—or you’re a dad who feels stuck on the sidelines—this episode will ignite your heart, convict your soul, and give you practical tools to get in the game.

    🙌 Key Takeaways:

    Fitness is service: Your strength isn’t for aesthetics—it’s for presence, play, and protection.
    Your kids need your body and your heart: Wrestling, running, and engaging physically are acts of love.
    Be the Neighborhood Alpha Dad: When dads show up strong, kids are safer and the community flourishes.
    Start where you are: You don’t need a perfect program—just consistency, humility, and the willingness to begin.

    Mud moments matter: When you realize “I wasn’t made to live like this,” change becomes possible.
