Ep. 181: The Value of Getting Fit and Staying Healthy in Ministry


eating a lot of food and oftentimes unhealthy food (student ministers in particular). And, it also means that ministers can fail to take care of their own fitness and sleeping habits. It’s go, go, go all the time, which isn’t good long for a minister’s long term health. That is why I invited Greg Oraham to the podcast. Greg is the Lead Pastor at Foothills Community Church. He is also a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, helping other Pastors be spiritually and physically fit through Pastor Fit. Today we talk about Greg’s story and why he decided to get fit as a Pastor. We also talk about what Pastors can do to get and stay fit. ACTION STEPS:
