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.
