Your Health for Your Success (EP:981)

When Your Health Becomes Your Mission (Not Your Mirror)

What if everything you've been told about men's health is backwards? What if the problem isn't that you don't know what to eat or how to exercise, but that you're working out for the wrong reason entirely?

In this game-changing conversation with Mitchell Graves, certified nutrition consultant and founder of The Fit Club Academy, we dive deep into why so many Christian men struggle with health—and it's not what you think. Mitchell, who looks like he's still in high school but has over a decade of experience transforming lives, reveals the shocking truth: most men are "missionless," working out to look good instead of serve God.

From his childhood dream of being the first man on Mars to getting medically disqualified from the Air Force, from nearly being homeless during the recession to God literally telling him to stop going to the gym for a month, Mitchell shares his radical journey of discovering that your health isn't about your six-pack abs—it's about your God-given purpose. He breaks down why Jesus had to be physically healthy to carry the cross and complete His mission, and how that changes everything about why we should care for our bodies.

Get ready for a holistic approach that will transform how you think about fitness, food, and the spiritual significance of taking care of the temple God gave you. This isn't about looking good in the mirror—it's about being equipped for the mission.

Three Key Highlights:

1. "Jesus had to be healthy to fulfill His mission" - Mitchell's revelation that physical health isn't about vanity but about being equipped to accomplish what God called you to do. If Jesus wasn't physically capable of carrying the cross and enduring crucifixion, we wouldn't have a Savior.

2. The "Missionless Man" epidemic - Most Christian men struggle with health because they lack purpose. Mitchell discovered that "people don't suffer from lack of information—they suffer from lack of inspiration." When you find your God-given mission, your health suddenly has meaning and motivation.

3. "Your doing flows from your being" - When God told Mitchell to stop going to the gym for a month to break his vanity, He taught him that results aren't tied to efforts alone. Instead, "you honor Me in your efforts, and I will gift you with the results." Health becomes an act of worship, not self-improvement.
