  • Fuel for Body and Spirit

    I’ve been craving a space where faith and fitness actually work together—and this podcast delivers. I love that everything is rooted in Scripture. It’s helped me be more intentional, not just about training, but also about how I treat my body as part of my walk with God. The mindset topics are a great bonus too. If you're looking for something that feeds both strength and spirit, this one’s worth a listen.

Q: How did you end up choosing Ultraman and then the Epideca, and what did you learn about risk and faith?
