Ep. 469 Fight for Fullness: Faith, Health & Inner Peace

In this episode of The Poddy, we talk about what it really means to contend — not from hustle, striving, or anxiety, but from a place of rest, faith, and hope.
We share why we refuse to settle for halfway living in our health, inner peace, marriages, aging, and walk with God. Contending doesn’t mean pressure or burnout. It means deciding that “fine” isn’t the finish line — and believing fullness is still possible.
In this conversation, we touch on:
• Why comfort was never meant to be the goal
• How our minds can cultivate peace instead of fear
• Why inner peace is built, not stumbled upon
• How rest becomes the real power source
• Breaking cycles of anxiety and quiet settling
• Contending in marriage, even when it’s not easy
• Why gratitude changes everything
• The long game of love, commitment, and fantastic aging
• How faith and health work together when we choose to contend
As always, we take a few classic rabbit trails along the way — including some thoughts on why certain body parts people once considered “useless” might matter more than we’ve been told.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “okay” but know there’s more, this episode is an invitation to contend — not with stress, but with hope.
Tune in and remember: the abundant life isn’t passive, and fullness is worth fighting for — from rest.
