Something interesting happened to me the other day. I was sitting down to read my Bible the other day and noticed that my reading plan called for me to read 2 entire chapters… at once. Sure, I had read about 120 pages from a textbook the night before without a problem, but, for some reason, [...]

Chest and Back is the very first workout you are introduced to in the P90X program.

P90X is, without a doubt, the hardest workout program I have ever done. Each day is filled with new challenges, trials, and goals designed to get you into the best shape of your life. It's a lot of really hard work, but it is definitely worth it.

I don't want to be fat. For most of my life, I've been involved in athleticism in some way or another. Growing up, my main form of exercise came from swimming.
Faith. Fitness. Finance. These three words seem so simple. That is, until you actually try to engage in anything involving any of them with any rate of success.
My name is Branden. I am a high school teacher, a track coach, and a fitness and finance junkie who happens to think that life is pretty rough without viewing it through a spiritual lens. On this site, I hope to help you explore how to get into peak physical and financial shape while serving others, growing spiritually, and giving both time and money.
