In this empowering episode of Mind Over Matter, we’re joined by Steve McKinney—black belt pastor, fitness pioneer, and bestselling author of The Gospel of Fitness. At 64 years young with over 30 years of personal training experience, Steve breaks down the biggest myths about aging and fitness. From losing his parents at 49 to building a lifelong system of health, Steve shares how his “3 W” method—Weight training, Walking, and Watching your diet—is changing lives. This is not about staying young; it’s about aging powerfully, gracefully, and purposefully.
About the Guest: Steve McKinney is a faith-fueled fitness leader, martial artist, and the bestselling author of The Gospel of Fitness. After decades in the industry, Steve has developed a practical, sustainable approach to health that helps people train not just for longevity—but for legacy. He blends strength training with spiritual discipline, showing that with the right mindset and method, we can all become stronger as we age.
Key Takeaways:
Graceful aging starts at 35—and strength training is key to preserving muscle and metabolism.
The 3 W Method: Weight training twice a week, walking daily (especially after dinner), and watching your diet with intention.
Simplicity and consistency beat complexity and burnout.
Community, purpose, and personal goals are just as vital as sets and reps.
Fitness isn’t just physical—it's spiritual stewardship of the body you've been gifted.
