  • “Mindset Is a Lifeline: DK Kang on Faith, Grit, and Growth”

    “Mindset Is a Lifeline: DK Kang on Faith, Grit, and Growth”
    2025/09/11
    Episode Summary:
    When life hits harder than you ever imagined, how do you keep moving forward?

    In this powerful conversation, Coach Alex Van Houten sits down with martial artist, author, and fellow believer DK Kang — a man who has walked through job loss, financial strain, and his wife’s battle with cancer, yet discovered how mindset became his lifeline.

    Drawing from his book Mindset Metamorphosis, DK unpacks what it means to shift from a fixed mindset (“I’ll never be good enough”) to a growth mindset rooted in God’s truth and daily choices.

    Together, Alex and DK explore:
    -How reframing negative self-talk can transform despair into hope.
    -Why saying no creates space for stewardship, health, and family.
    -The biblical foundation of mindset renewal in Romans 12 and Philippians
    -Martial arts lessons, Spartan race grit, and even Dragon Ball Z wisdom.

    By the end, you’ll see why mindset isn’t just psychology or motivation — it’s spiritual stewardship. Whether you’re fighting battles in your health, relationships, or faith, DK’s story will inspire you to keep showing up, keep growing, and keep trusting God with your next step.

  • Why The Church Must Reclaim The Body For God's Glory

    Why The Church Must Reclaim The Body For God's Glory
    2025/09/04
    📖 Episode Summary
    What does it mean to steward your body as a temple when you're also shepherding a congregation? In this powerful conversation, Pastor and Revelation Wellness instructor Wes Scheu (pronounced "Shoy") joins Coach Alex VanHouten to explore the deep intersection of faith and fitness—and why the Church cannot afford to stay silent about it.

    As a husband, father, and leader in both pastoral ministry and the health coaching world, Wes brings a rare blend of biblical wisdom, theological depth, and real-life practicality. Together, he and Alex discuss why physical stewardship isn’t about vanity, but availability—why God created us not just with bodies, but for embodied living in relationship with Him.

    They explore what it means to bear God's image, how the enemy attacks our view of the body, and why the Church must reclaim holistic discipleship that includes our physical health. This episode also gives listeners a glimpse into Alex’s new Faithful Fitness Devotional, including why healing your relationship with your body begins with Truth, not trends. Whether you’re a pastor wondering how to care for your flock without burning out—or a believer trying to align your health habits with your walk with Christ—this episode will challenge and equip you.

  • Fighting for Kids, One Mile at a Time with The "Praying Ninja Warrior"

    Fighting for Kids, One Mile at a Time with The "Praying Ninja Warrior"
    2025/08/28
    Episode Summary:
    What if every mile you ran was a prayer for a sick child? In this deeply inspiring episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex sits down with ultra-endurance athlete and founder of the Praying Ninja Warrior Foundation, Nick Apicella.

    Together, they explore how prayer, suffering, and radical endurance can become powerful expressions of faith, love, and support for children facing life-threatening illness. Nick shares his recent completion of the grueling Tahoe 200—a 200-mile ultra-marathon run in honor of over 900 children battling cancer and rare diseases.

    But this isn’t about medals or personal records. It’s about sacrifice. It's about holding space for suffering. It's about carrying the weight of grief, hope, and intercession with every step. Listeners will hear raw stories of loss and healing, including families impacted by pediatric cancer, the miracle of a unified praying community, and how prayer itself can draw us into deeper dependence on God—even when the outcome isn't what we hoped.

    Main Discussion Themes:
     The spiritual and physical burden of running 200 miles in intercession
     Founding Praying Ninja Warrior Foundation to support families of sick children
     When prayer doesn’t “work” the way we want—and how faith still holds
     Biblical endurance: running with perseverance the race set before us (Hebrews 12)
     Why suffering isn’t the end of the story for those in Christ
     The September 20th race and how to join virtually or in person
