    Walking Isn’t Enough | Build Muscle to Burn More and Control Blood Sugar

    Send us Fan Mail If you walk every day but still feel weak, struggle with blood sugar, or cannot get your metabolism moving, walking may not be enough. Muscle helps your body use glucose, improves insulin sensitivity, supports your metabolism, and protects your ability to live, lead, and serve as you age. Matthew explains how to start strength training with your real schedule, set your floor and your full, and stop doing nothing because you cannot do everything.  📘 Free Temple Keeper Guide  https://thetemplekeepers.com/guide 🏛️ Temple Keeper Academy  https://thetemplekeepers.com/online-academy 🤝 Apply for 1-on-1 Coaching  https://thetemplekeepers.com/one-on-one-coaching 📸 Instagram Matthew  https://www.instagram.com/godfoodguy/ 🌿 Instagram Leah  https://www.instagram.com/leah.headden/ 🌐 Website  https://thetemplekeepers.com/ Chapters00:00 Why Fit People Can Eat More  00:39 Why Walking Is Not Enough  01:06 Muscle, Glucose, and Insulin Sensitivity  01:49 You Cannot Supplement Your Way Around Weakness  02:00 Build a Plan Around Your Real Schedule  02:23 Set Your Floor and Your Full  03:17 Start Where You Are—But Keep Progressing  04:49 Strength Training as Stewardship Support the show

    STOP PRAYING ABOUT IT

    Send us Fan Mail If you keep praying for clarity while avoiding the step you already know God told you to take, this episode will hit hard. I share why prayer can become disobedience dressed in spiritual language, why comfort has become a counterfeit Christ for many believers, and what faith looks like when we cannot see how everything will work out.

    How to Reverse Insulin Resistance| What Actually Works

    Send us Fan Mail Insulin resistance does not just happen out of nowhere. In this episode, Matthew sits down with Dr. Rachel Shuck to break down what insulin resistance and diabetes actually are, why we are seeing such a spike in them, and what people can start doing right now to move in a better direction. We talk about food, medications, stress, muscle, cravings, fasting, menopause, lab work, digestion, and why so many people are told they are “fine” while their metabolism is clearly struggling. This is not another fear-based conversation about carbs. It is a practical conversation about what is really happening in the body. We talk about why ultra-processed food drives the problem, why medications can sometimes compound it, why muscle matters, why blood sugar swings make cravings worse, and why some people feel terrible even when their labs are called normal. If you have been told diabetes runs in the family, if you have been stuck on the blood sugar roller coaster, or if you are trying to understand whether insulin resistance can actually be reversed, this episode will help you see the bigger picture and take practical steps.

    Does God Care About Your Body?

    Send us Fan Mail What does it mean to surrender your body to God? In this episode, I breaks down why the body is not separate from spirituality and why so many Christians have disconnected their faith from how they eat, move, rest, and live. We talk about the connection between the body and the spiritual life, what it means to present the body to God, and why surrender becomes a path to freedom instead of bondage. If we have been trying to grow spiritually while ignoring the body, or if we have felt trapped between legalism and neglect, this episode will help us see the body the way God intended and take the next step in freedom.
