Are you tapping into your fullest potential both physically and mentally? In other words, what grounds you and provides the foundation for all of life’s difficult decisions?

Stay tuned to hear how faith can give your mind and body the stability you may be lacking. 

On today’s episode of Strong By Design, Coach Chris sits down with Joseph Poirier (JP) who is the Critical Bench camera man, but more importantly, he is also a pastor at a local church. 

JP enlightens us on how the physical realm and spiritual realm are closely connected.  

Some of the podcast episode:

JP:  [00:05:00]  Yeah  of  course.  So  really  the  biggest  passion  for  me  and  this  is  kind  of  something  I've  been  on  this  path  for  probably  the  last  five  or  six  years  is  this  idea  that  we're  all  spiritual  beings.  Of  course  as  a  Christian  this  is  who  I  am  and  as  a  pastor  I  understand  that  but  there's  so  much  more  to  it  than  just  this  idea  of  spirituality.  There's  a  whole  physical  realm  which  we  live  in  and  we  operate  in  every  single  day.  And  a  lot  of  people  they  miss  the  cohesiveness  that  should  be  between  the  spiritual  around  and  the  physical  around.    

JP:  [00:05:31]  And  it  was  a  mentor  of  mine  growing  up  that  always  would  tell  us  on  a  regular  basis  you'd  always  be  really  Joseph,  you  need  to  understand  that  the  spiritual  realm  affects  the  physical  realm  but  the  physical  realm  also  affects  the  spiritual  realm.  So  basically  getting  this  idea  that  whatever  is  taking  place  in  your  life  spiritually  or  mentally  is  going  to  is  going  to  come  out  physically  and  then  whatever  you're  ingesting  physically  or  doing  physically  is  also  going  to  affect  you  spiritually.  And  the  idea  is  that  both  them  go  hand  in  hand.  And  I've  been  on  this  pursuit  and  discipling  other  people  counseling  other  people  coaching  other  people  getting  them  to  understand  how  they're  feeding  their  mind  and  we'll  talk  a  little  about  this  idea  of  the  five  sense  gates  and  how  important  they  are.  But  what  you're  feeding  your  mind  you're  feeding  your  faith  your  spirituality  is  going  to  come  out  in  your  physical  world  and  then  whatever  you're  doing  in  your  physical  world  is  also  going  to  affect  that  spiritual  world.  And  I'm  trying  to  get  more  and  more  people  to  understand  the  connection  that's  between  these  two.  So  it's  a  big  passion  of  mine  right  now.  It's  a  it's  a  big  deal  I've  really  done  a  lot  of  focus  on  how  can  I  strengthen  my  my  faith  so  to  speak  and  how  that then prepares  my  mind  because  let's  be  honest  you  can  do  whatever  you  want  but  once  you  take  control  of  the  mind  you  can  almost  accelerate  whatever  it  is  you're  pursuing.  So  it's  physical  strength  which  is  probably  what  we  will  focus  more  on  here  you  can  physically  can  push  yourself  to  a  limit.
