***Stole this from my friend and Pastor Aaron** **LIFT HEAVY. PRAY HARD. 💪🙏** Brother in Christ— Spending -30min training hard** isn’t selfish. It’s **stewardship**. You’re not just lifting to look good— You’re building **strength for your marriage**: more energy, endurance, confidence, and presence to serve your wife well. You’re not just training to look like a superhero— You’re becoming a **reliable father** your kids can depend on when life gets heavy. Because **strength isn’t vanity—it’s capacity.** • Capacity to work hard without burning out • Capacity to protect without posturing • Capacity to lead without resentment • Capacity to endure pressure without collapsing Your body is a **tool God uses to carry out purpose**. Neglecting it doesn’t make you holy—it makes you **less available**. So train. Lift. Recover. Eat well. Sleep. Not for ego. Not for applause. But to **show up fully** for the people God entrusted to you. **Strong men don’t train to be seen.** They train so they **don’t fail** the ones counting on them.
