  • Why Your Morning Is a Spiritual Battleground (And How to Win It)

    Why Your Morning Is a Spiritual Battleground (And How to Win It)
    Jan 22 2026
    Most Christians don’t lose their faith overnight. They lose it slowly—through fatigue, distraction, and disorder. In this episode, Coach Alex breaks down why mornings are not just a productivity hack, but a spiritual battleground.

    Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, circadian biology, and lived discipleship, he shows how your first 30 minutes shape your faithfulness, clarity, and emotional regulation for the entire day. You’ll learn why Scripture before screens matters neurologically and biblically, why sunlight and movement anchor your nervous system, how prayer realigns your loves, and why delaying dopamine restores authority over your mind.

    This isn’t aesthetic “quiet time.” It’s embodied stewardship of the body God designed.

    Main Discussion Themes
    -Why mornings are about consecration, not self-care
    -First fruits theology and the discipline of order
    -Scripture before screens: neurological and spiritual implications
    -Circadian rhythm, cortisol, testosterone, and morning light
    -Dopamine, novelty, and nervous system dysregulation
    -Training attention toward truth instead of threat
    -Prayer as alignment, not performance
    -Habit formation and spiritual plasticity -Stewardship of the body as worship
    -A simple, repeatable, faithful morning rule of life

    Timestamped Outline

    0:00 – 0:45 Hook: “If Satan can’t steal your salvation, he’ll gladly steal your morning.” Why most Christians drift through fatigue, distraction, and disorder.
    0:45 – 1:45 Biblical foundation: Psalms 5:3, Mark 1:35, Lamentations 3:23. Mornings as first fruits and consecration.
    1:45 – 2:45 Orientation: Who is Lord today? Why reactivity is the opposite of discipline.
    2:45 – 3:45 Biology: Testosterone, cortisol, circadian rhythm, morning light. Why God designed your body to win the day early.
    3:45 – 4:45 Dopamine, novelty, phones, and nervous system scrambling. Why Scripture stabilizes attention and identity.
    4:45 – 6:00 Four rules of a faithful morning: Scripture before screens Sunlight and light movement Short, honest prayer Delay dopamine
    6:00 – 7:15 Formation: What you rehearse first becomes your default under stress. Morning habits shape emotional regulation and faithfulness.

  • Faithful Fitness at Home: Parenting, Nutrition, and the “Secret Weapon” Behind the Scenes

    Faithful Fitness at Home: Parenting, Nutrition, and the “Secret Weapon” Behind the Scenes
    Jan 15 2026
    Episode Summary
    What does faithful fitness actually look like inside a real household? In this episode, Coach Alex sits down with his wife Christin—dietitian, working mom of two, and the often-unseen force behind their family’s rhythm—to talk honestly about parenting, nutrition, sleep, training, and discipline.

    This isn’t a lecture or a perfect blueprint. It’s a grounded conversation about how faith and fitness shape daily decisions at home: how they think about kids’ behavior, picky eating, sleep routines, garage-gym logistics, and why structure doesn’t have to mean deprivation.

    If you’re trying to lead your family well without chaos, burnout, or food battles, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

    Main Discussion Themes
    -Why we treat kids’ behavior as a nutrition, sleep, or movement signal before an attitude issue
    -How education (not perfection) shapes family nutrition habits
    -Raising kids who aren’t jealous of junk food—and understand why Sleep as a non-negotiable foundation for growth and regulation
    -Navigating picky eating without surrendering parental leadership
    -How we structure choice (“A or B”) instead of outsourcing decisions to kids
    -Making fitness work in a busy household with a shared garage gym
    -Why faithful fitness isn’t rigid—and how balance actually works (85/15, 80/20)
    -Enjoying food as a gift from God, not a guilt trigger

  • The Offensive Church: Taking Territory From Hell (Starts With Your Body)

    The Offensive Church: Taking Territory From Hell (Starts With Your Body)
    Jan 8 2026
    Episode Summary
    In this sermon preached at New Life Church Greenbrier (Dec. 28, 2025), Coach Alex flips a familiar verse on its head: the gates of hell aren’t attacking the Church—they’re defending. Jesus’ promise isn’t that we’ll merely “hold on” until the end; it’s that the Church advances and hell can’t stop it.Coach Alex makes it practical: if you’ve spent a year waking up on defense—tired, in pain, stuck, reactive—there’s a reason.

    The enemy targets the individual body, then the family, then the community. But when your “want to,” your “able to,” your relationships, coaching, rewards, and environment align toward God, you stop fighting alone.

    Main Discussion Themes
    • Matthew 16 reframed: “The gates of hell” are defensive structures—the Church advances.
    • Offense vs. defense Christianity: why many believers feel stuck, reactive, and worn down.
    • The battlefield order: body → family → community.
    • Three circles model: how darkness spreads when the light isn’t protected and multiplied.
    • The 6 forces tug-of-war: why people fail—and how to win by changing the system around you.
      • Personal: Want to, Able to
      • Social: Fans & Friends, Coach
      • Structural: Rewards, Environment
    • Scripture anchors for embodied stewardship:
      • 1 Corinthians 6:19–20
      • Psalm 139:14
      • Ephesians 5:29
