This is Pastor Justin Westmoreland from the Fully Alive Athlete Pastor Channel. I am an ordained minister of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church and a certified personal trainer of the American Council on Exercise.

I enjoy making connections between spiritual, physical, mental, and relational fitness. If we neglect any part of our person then we will become dysfunctional. However, when we commit to bringing up one component of our health underneath the right grid (to the glory of God and for his enjoyment) then this will generally positively impact our integrated, total health of our persons and communities.

We call this channel Fully Alive after a quotation attributed to the early church father, Irenaeus, "God's glory is seen in man fully alive. Since 2015, I have discovered a thing I like to call, "Doxological Fitness." When I had a major physical health revival, I began to experience a spiritual revival, which fueled greater health for me relational, mentally, spiritually, and even greater health physically. I discovered that all these components integrate and hold one another together.

Our church is Trinity Presbyterian Church of Norman. We meet at the Wesley Building on the corner of the campus of the University of Oklahoma, 428 W Lindsey. For more info about the church, go to www.trinitynorman.com
