Pastor Levi Lusko joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a Holy Health conversation on health as worship (not performance), why the Church keeps falling into two extremes (neglect vs idolatry), and how “holy health” is ultimately surrendered health —built to carry your calling.

In a world that turns “discipline” into the goal, Justin and Levi call out what most people don’t see: you can quote Scripture, lead well, and still quietly run your body into the ground—until your peace, patience, and relationships begin to erode.

This episode reframes the true metric of Holy Health: it’s not your image, your biohacks, or your numbers—it’s stewardship + obedience… because that’s what builds long-term capacity.

They also unpack:

🎯 The “Concentric Circles” principle (Jesus → self → spouse → kids → calling) and why you can’t let anyone into the “ring” ahead of the order.

🏔️ The hidden “crash” after mountaintop moments—and why leaders have to learn how to come down and recover.

⚠️ Levi’s wake-up call when a “healthy” stimulant stack was quietly fueling panic.

Biohacking and longevity are everywhere—CGMs, peptides, cold plunges, sauna protocols, and expensive testing—all chasing the same outcome: live longer and function better.

But here’s what most people miss: the strongest longevity principles aren’t new. They’re ancient. They’re biblical. And modern science keeps “discovering” what God already designed.

In this episode of The OWN IT Show, Justin breaks down 5 biblical habits for longevity—and the science behind why they work—through one core lens: health is worship, not performance.

You’ll learn:

✅ Sabbath (Recovery): why your body needs a real stop—and why God called it holy
✅ Fasting (Cellular repair): what autophagy is, and why fasting is formation—not a flex
✅ Community (Belonging): why covenant community builds resilience (and why “networking” isn’t the same)
✅ Movement (Strength + stamina): why discipline is stewardship for the long haul
✅ Food (Whole ingredients): why “grandma food” still wins—simple, recognizable, minimally processed

The deeper point: longevity without purpose becomes “optimization without telos”—better numbers, but an unchanged life.
If this hit you, share it with someone chasing health—but missing the why. And remember: we were given the right answers for free… so take care of the temple.

Matt King (CEO of GoBundance) joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a powerful conversation on obedience over outcomes, the hidden cost of “success,” and how to become strong and courageous (Joshua 1:9) without living in striving.

In a world that trains leaders to chase the highlight reel, Justin calls out what people don’t see: you can have the money, the image, and the wins—while your health, peace, and relationships quietly erode.

This episode reframes the true metric of leadership: it’s not optics, it’s your fruit—love, joy, peace, kindness, faithfulness, and self-control—because that’s what sustainable leadership produces.

They also unpack the “Availability Principle”— why the most important moments of impact are often unplanned, and why obedience requires staying open to what’s right in front of you.
