As Christian men, we face challenges not only in our spiritual lives but also in our physical health. It’s easy to feel defeated after a long day, choosing comfort over discipline. Whether it’s the exhaustion of balancing work, family commitments, or spiritual responsibilities, moments of fatigue can lead to neglecting our health. This makes the message within Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling: Changing Lives with God’s Changeless Truth by Julie G. L. K. Kwon an essential read for those seeking to honor God through health and fitness.
