Where Theology Meets Training
I’m Andy Mage.
Pastor. Hybrid athlete. 42 years old and training for a sub-1:30 half marathon.
I've led worship, worked in digital churches, run marathons, and owned a gym, but the conviction underneath all of it has never changed:
Formation doesn't stop when you lace up your shoes.
This is not a fitness blog with Bible verses sprinkled in. It's not a devotional with a running metaphor at the end. It's what happens when you stop treating the body and the soul as separate projects and start asking what discipline actually forms in a man.
Theology applied to training. Training illuminated by theology. No compartments.

You set a timer. You sit in front of the fan. You breathe. What happens in those three minutes after a run is more than recovery. It's one of the oldest spiritual disciplines in Scripture.
