Episode 11 (Season 3) Idols of the Heart for Men

Wednesday, May 17, 2023

About the Episode:
Hear this group of men discuss how body image affects men as well as women. These men talk about their hope in the Lord and peace that comes from knowing your identity is based in being a son or daughter of the most High not on how you look. How do we make something that is good like exercise not become an idol? The inward focus of “look at me” shift to “look at what God has done” is a hope of all believers.

Drew Obenchain specializes in group fitness with the ability to scale workouts for all different levels of athletes. Kingdom Workouts provided tailored daily workouts to individual clients as well as offering in-person group training with other Kingdom members. Drew has always loved fitness and being active, he played multiple sports throughout his life, but his passion evolved once he was introduced to CrossFit during his sophomore year at Texas A&M. In 2012 he suffered a devastating back injury while training, which opened his eyes to the importance of proper training as well as physical therapy. Since then he has been motivated to teach others how to not just train hard, but to train well. He now works at Corpus Performance Training. When not training, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Kara, and new baby, Hattie. He is grateful for the opportunity to pursue his passion of fitness as his full-time career and attributes it all to the goodness of God.
