From back-and-biceps training to lessons on marriage leadership, church vs. gym culture, and the crazy way God brought old friends back into his life — this episode is about more than just lifting.
Sal dives into Isaiah’s prophecy, Dead Sea Scrolls, Catholic vs. non-denominational traditions, and why the pump can feel powerful… but faith is where the real strength lies.
