YOUR BODY IS PART OF DISCIPLESHIP 
today’s episode is raw, real, and deeply challenging. As Adam reflects on life, routines, and a powerful read (The Spirit of the Disciplines by Dallas Willard), he dives headfirst into a message many Christians need to hear but few are saying:You cannot live spiritually in victory while physically living in defeat.
In This Episode:- Why Jesus came in a body—and why that matters for your faith
- The trap of “saviour-only Christianity” vs. actual discipleship
- How modern believers unknowingly embrace a Gnostic mindset
- Why physical disciplines like rest, fasting, and movement are not optional
- The myth of separation between spirit and body—and why holiness requires both
- How training, not trying, prepares us to live like Christ
- The hard truth: we say we love Jesus, but ignore the lifestyle of Jesus
Key Takeaways:- Your body is a vessel of worship, not an afterthought
- Every sin involves the body—so sanctification must too
- You don’t become holy (or healthy) by accident—you train for it
- Spiritual maturity without physical discipline is incomplete
- If your schedule determines your values, it’s time to realign
- Christianity isn’t just about being nice—it’s about becoming like Christ
Practical Challenge:What’s one discipline you need to work on—physically or spiritually? Solitude? Rest? Exercise? Prayer?
Start somewhere. Set the bar low—but start.
