Faith Based Philosophy of Physical Training

The Meaning of Movement in the Bible

Sources are scarce in writing about the theme of the role movement, and specifically – exercise, plays in the Bible and how God uses it to accomplish His purposes. A genre I call ‘biblical philosophy,’ is expounded on in the book and I think readers will be pleasantly surprised to see the imperative God places on the discipline of movement science, how faith and fitness are related, and how God ordained that many times physical exertion is a foretaste of the sublime and peer into the spiritual. The reason I wrote this book is to lead readers to Christ and/or deepen already existing belief in Christ, via simultaneous soul stretching and sinew strengthening, motivating the will for physically tangible service to God. With healthcare evolving more into prevention mode of chronic diseases while boosting the immune system to fight off COVID, I attempt to convey the cross-section of the Christian walk in contemporary culture with modern discoveries in exercise science.


Athletes, fitness enthusiasts and those who are already part of the church will get a fresh perspective on how their recreational efforts relate to Christianity and can be spiritual in reaping the sowed seeds of discipline alluded to in 2 Timothy 1:7. Believers may be able to buttress their faith, while non-Christians can be exposed to these theories, communicating a calm/composed demeanor needed to handle the modern-day barrage of emotional stresses inherent in a 24-hour news blast. Hale and hardy undertakings help us navigate the partitioned work/social/vocational/religious realms into a certitude of life one does not need to ‘escape’ from in illicit ungodly habits.
