In the previous article, two groups of exercises are proposed to help create a healthy habit of working out daily. The routine mentioned is aimed at providing a full body work out, while maintaining a busy life with lots of responsibilities and a minimal amount of available time. The routine consist of 3 days in […]
Daily exercise for beginners | revisited
Five years ago, the journey began of blogging on the subject of being a Christian man with a healthy lifestyle. If you think about it, being a Christian should actually mean being as healthy as circumstantially possible, as it is part of our faith to take care of all that we receive from the Almighty. […]
Christian Men and Oneitis
A post on Reddit little over a year ago was a painful example of how young men in the church and Christian communities nowadays, are suffering because there is no adequate mentorship. In the post a young man (probably still more of a teenager) was asking for prayer, since he had asked a girl (he […]
Should Christian men take the “Red Pill”?
Do you remember the first time you saw the scene where a super cool looking Laurence Fishburne as ‘Morpheus’, presents an almost baby face Keanu Reeves as ‘Neo’ with the choice between the Red and the Blue pill? Blue represented a life where things stayed the same; you knew what you were getting. The red […]
Healing from obesity. The road to recovery…
When you look around an average Christian congregation (it depends a bit on the denomination).

It keeps your thoughts from running amok and after a few minutes you find yourself thinking about how you still […]
Daily devotional: Foundation
The great struggle. That is how I would characterize my journey to work on my relationship with God in a consistent and structured manner. There were times when I would read and pray every day and there were times when my bible actually collected a thick layer of dust. I have the feeling that most […]
The physical temple: Processed Foods
Compiling a list of calorie dense food is disheartening. Some of our favourites are prominently mentioned and high ranking. Yet like in all things in which we need to improve, some bravery is called for and the acquisition of knowledge on nutrition is no exception. In the previous article we promised to look at an […]
The physical temple: Nutrition
In the previous article, we talked about our physical temple and a proper definition of health. From a Christian perspective that is. One that still would be objective, so true for even non-Christians and measurable to prove that point. I stated that health is best defined as functional and metabolic efficiency. In the last article […]
