  • The Offensive Church: Taking Territory From Hell (Starts With Your Body)

    The Offensive Church: Taking Territory From Hell (Starts With Your Body)
    2026/01/08
    Episode Summary
    In this sermon preached at New Life Church Greenbrier (Dec. 28, 2025), Coach Alex flips a familiar verse on its head: the gates of hell aren’t attacking the Church—they’re defending. Jesus’ promise isn’t that we’ll merely “hold on” until the end; it’s that the Church advances and hell can’t stop it.Coach Alex makes it practical: if you’ve spent a year waking up on defense—tired, in pain, stuck, reactive—there’s a reason.

    The enemy targets the individual body, then the family, then the community. But when your “want to,” your “able to,” your relationships, coaching, rewards, and environment align toward God, you stop fighting alone.

  • Does God Love Your Body—or Just Your Soul? - with Alisa Keeton and Revelation Wellness

    Does God Love Your Body—or Just Your Soul? - with Alisa Keeton and Revelation Wellness
    2026/01/01
    🧲 Episode Summary

    What if the Church has misunderstood the body—not as a problem to fix, but as territory to reclaim? In this powerful, deeply personal conversation, Coach Alex VanHouten sits down with Alisa Keeton, founder of Revelation Wellness, to confront one of the most neglected truths in modern Christianity: God doesn’t just love your soul—He dwells in your body.

    Together, they explore:
    -Why shame—not laziness—is the real driver behind obsession and neglect
    -How trauma lives in the nervous system (and how movement helps heal it)
    -Why strength training is a form of Christian mindfulness
    -How a woman’s embodied faith can transform her marriage
    -Why the Church is meant to be on offense, not defense, in 2026

    This episode isn’t about weight loss. It’s about dominion, discipleship, and embodied obedience. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body—or guilty for caring about it—this conversation will reframe everything.

  • The Bible's Warning About Addiction (And How To Take Back Control)

    The Bible's Warning About Addiction (And How To Take Back Control)
    2025/12/18
    Episode Summary
    //👉 Subscribe here: https://faithfulfitnessdevo.com/contact //

    Most Christians have been told addiction is a failure of willpower. Scripture says something far more serious: addiction is slavery. In this solo episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex VanHouten dismantles the shame-based, slogan-driven approach to addiction and replaces it with a biblical and neuroscience-grounded framework for freedom.

    Drawing from Scripture, modern brain science, and personal loss, this episode explores how addiction hijacks agency—and how embodied Christian stewardship restores it. You’ll learn why shame worsens addiction, how the brain actually changes under compulsive behavior, and the four God-designed interventions that reclaim dominion over mind and body: exercise, community, awe, and rhythm This is not theory.

    This is lived conviction—and a call for the Church to do better.

    Main Discussion Topics
    • Why addiction is enslavement, not weakness
    • How shame accelerates relapse and destroys agency What neuroscience reveals about the addicted brain.
    • Why exercise restores executive function and self-control
    • The biblical and physiological necessity of community How awe interrupts compulsive behavior and expands meaning
    • Why structure, rhythm, and routine are required for grace to take root
    • Stewardship as an act of love—not legalism

    Key Scriptures Referenced
    1 Corinthians 6:12, 19–20 — “I will not be mastered by anything… your body is a temple”
    1 Timothy 4:7 — “Train yourself for godliness”
    James 5:16 — Confession, witness, and healing
    Proverbs 9:10 — Awe and the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom

    Quick Research Reference List
    Lynch et al., 2013 — Exercise and substance use disorders
    Wang et al., 2014 — Physical activity and dopamine regulation
    Heilig et al., 2016 — Addiction, stress, and social bonding Kelly et al.,
    2017 — Recovery capital and community
    Stellar et al., 2017 — Awe and prosocial behavior
    Walker, 2017 — Sleep and executive function

    Timestamped Outline
    00:00 – Why slogans and shame fail
    00:30 – Addiction as loss of agency, not moral collapse
    01:45 – The brain science of enslavement
    02:30 – Exercise as a non-negotiable for freedom
    03:00 – Training as embodied obedience
    03:45 – Isolation vs healing community
    04:40 – Awe as a neuro-spiritual intervention
    05:18 – Order, rhythm, and structure in recovery
    06:15 – Stewardship, dominion, and the mission of Faithful Fitness
    07:24 – Final charge: one faithful act at a time

    Core Takeaway
    Your body and mind are not the enemy—but they are the first territory that must be reclaimed. Addiction is not overcome by trying harder. It is overcome by training wisely, living in truth, and ordering your life under God’s design.
