Send us Fan Mail Carbs aren’t the problem. The way most people use them is. In today’s world, people are eating like high-performance athletes… while living completely sedentary lives. The result? Low energy, weight gain, poor metabolic health, and a constant cycle of frustration. In this episode, we break down what carbohydrates actually are, how they function in the body, and why context matters...

Send a text New Year, New Me? Why It Never Works Advent has ended. Christmas has passed. And now it’s January. The world responds the same way every year: new goals, new motivation, new promises. But by February, most of it fades. Not because people don’t care — but because motivation was never meant to sustain responsibility. In this episode, we step away from hype and into stewardship. Scripture...

Send a text Advent Days 22–24 — The King Revealed, Resisted, and Preserved In the final days of Advent, the story reaches its proper tension. We see the King revealed to the nations, worship offered by outsiders, obedience lived out under threat, and opposition rising as darkness reacts to the arrival of light. Advent does not conclude with resolution, but with clarity. These passages show us what...

Send a text Advent — Week 3: The Witnesses of the Incarnation Witnesses, Obedience, and the Promised Christ In Week 3 of Advent, we reach the center of the story.

This week’s readings (Days 15–21) trace the human response to...

Send a text We just crossed 100 subscribers — thank you. This Christmas, I’m launching a deeper Advent series.

Send a text 🎙 Episode 8 — “Why Modern Marriage Is Broken: How to Fix It God’s Way” Modern love is broken — and that’s not by accident.  Satan’s plan has always been to divide families, confuse roles, and make both men and women chase independence instead of obedience. In this episode, Shawn calls both sides higher — challenging men to lead with discipline and submission to Christ, and calling wome...

As Christians, we are called to carry the baton — to stand for truth, oppose evil, and lead our families with courage and conviction. In this episode, I sha...

I talk about crushing my physical goal — cutting from 186 to 179 without losing strength — but also confronting the spiritual drift that came with time off. I share what that time with my family taught me, the guilt I felt stepping away from the Word, and why this podcast keeps me accountable more than anyt...

We explore God’s design for marriage as a covenant, not a contract—and how it was always meant to reflect Christ’s relationship with the Church. From Scriptur...

Send a text Episode 3 – Motivation Is a Lie: Why Discipline Is What Builds Men We’ve all heard it: “Just stay motivated.” But what happens when the feelings fade? When life gets hard? When no one’s watching? In this episode, I break down the lie of motivation and why discipline is the real fuel for lasting change.

Send a text Every strong leader needs a strong foundation. In this first episode of the Faithful Fit Father Podcast , I share how health is more than workouts and meal plans — it’s a calling.
