Let’s talk about making our bodies do what we want, as we like, in all the ways we wish. Let’s talk about CrossFit and SoulCycle, black iron gyms and olympic lifting. Let’s talk about the Apostle Paul and the local missionary who eats every meal at the Old Country Buffet. Let’s figure out how to navigate the path between idolatry and discipline, between vanity and faithfulness, and between glory and woe.
