What are you getting fit for?
For Kade Jungkurth, fitness used to be largely about changing his body. Today, it means something much bigger.
Kade is the founder of Fitness Jungkie, author of The Fit 4 Life Performance Planner, and a coach who has helped more than 1,000 people improve their health and fitness.
In this conversation, Kade shares how the death of a close friend and client helped reconnect him with his Christian faith and ultimately changed the purpose behind his work.
We explore fitness not as an end in itself, but as a way to build the capacity to live, lead, love, and serve well.
Kade and I talk about the connection between physical, mental, and spiritual health; why Christians should think about stewardship of the body; the difference between fitness and vanity; why sustainable health doesn't require living in the gym; and how the discipline we develop physically can carry into our faith, families, relationships, and leadership.
Kade also walks through the four pillars behind his Fit 4 Life framework and explains why the goal isn't simply to become fit today. It's to build a lifestyle you can sustain for the rest of your life.
We finish with a deceptively simple challenge:
Keep one promise to yourself today.
Kade argues that repeatedly breaking promises to ourselves erodes self-trust.

This conversation isn't about six-pack abs.
It's about asking a much more important question:
What do I need to become capable of doing with the life I've been given?
