Is Chasing Aesthetics Biblical—or Just Vanity in Disguise?

In this episode, the boys explore what the Bible says about health, fitness, and discipline — and why taking care of your body isn’t just a personal goal but a spiritual responsibility. They unpack powerful verses that frame the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit and dive into the tension between honouring God through physical discipline and avoiding vanity or idolising physique.

With real talk on body image, identity, laziness, and how discipline in the gym translates to other areas of life, this episode challenges the way we view training, motivation, and brotherhood. Whether you’re deep into your fitness journey or just starting out, this is a must-watch conversation for anyone wanting to grow physically and spiritually.
