“Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am…” (John 17:24)

Welcome to the very first episode of Fit For.M (Movement • Mindfulness • Ministry).

In this introductory episode, I share my story: how God began calling me beyond fitness, movement, and wellness into a deeper work of spiritual formation, discipleship, and ministry.

Through Luke 5 and Jesus’ call to Peter, we explore what it means to stand on the shore between what is familiar and where God is leading us next. We discuss surrender, purpose, identity, and the courage to release even the good things God has given us when He is inviting us into something more.

Together we’ll talk about:

• My journey from movement educator to Christian podcaster and ministry leader

• Peter’s call to leave his nets and follow Jesus

• The wisdom of Father Gallagher and Ignatian spirituality

• Holding God’s gifts with gratitude while remaining open-handed before Him

• Why our bodies matter as temples of the Holy Spirit

• John 17 and Jesus’ prayer for those the Father has given Him

• How the Holy Spirit equips ordinary believers to participate in God’s work

If you’ve ever wondered whether God might be calling you into a new season, asking you to release an old identity, or inviting you into deeper trust, I pray this conversation encourages you.

You are not forgotten.

You are not disqualified.

You are not walking alone.

You are known by name.

Called with purpose.

And deeply loved by God.

Thank you for being here at the beginning of this journey. I hope you’ll continue walking alongside me as we explore faith, fitness, healing, spiritual growth, and becoming who God created us to be.
