Sal opens this session with honesty: he feels like garbage. Coming off kratom, battling withdrawal, and feeling drained, he admits he almost canceled the workout. But instead, he prays, trains, and shares what God is teaching him about freedom.
This episode dives into the reality that true freedom isn’t doing whatever you want — it’s freedom from sin. Sal opens up about addiction, parenting through fatigue, and the mercy of God breaking through even in weakness. Along the way, he reflects on Proverbs 3:5, Romans 12:4–5, and how fitness parallels sanctification.
This episode is raw, vulnerable, and filled with encouragement. Whether you’re battling an addiction, feeling stuck, or just struggling to show up, this conversation reminds us that God meets us right in the mess.
