Episode Overview

In this heartfelt episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer is joined by worship leaders Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham for a raw conversation on the intersection of health, faith, and calling. What begins as a casual layover chat unfolds into a transformative discussion on the spiritual power of stewarding the body, breaking the cycle of burnout, and honoring God through physical discipline. Brandon shares the deeply personal journey that helped him reclaim energy, intimacy, and leadership at home—and why this new season feels more aligned than ever.

Episode Highlights

● Health as Worship: True health isn’t about appearance or biohacks—it’s about honoring God with your body, mind, and spirit.

● From Burnout to Renewal: Brandon opens up about breaking free from people-pleasing and ministry-driven exhaustion to show up stronger for his family.

● The Soul and the Calling: Justin explains the importance of developing both your soul and your calling—neglecting either leads to burnout or stagnation.

Action Steps

● Reflect on this question: “Have I surrendered my health to God?” Let it guide your next physical commitment.

● Start with hydration and one daily physical action (walk, jog, stretch) and commit to consistency over intensity.

● Use your workouts as worship—shift your mindset from performance to presence.

● Set clear boundaries around rest and renewal, especially if you're in a leadership or caregiving role.

● Reframe self-care as service: stronger bodies and minds allow you to love your people better.

Feeling stuck despite doing all the "right" things—eating clean, training hard, taking supplements, even working with coaches? The missing piece might be your nervous system. In this powerful episode, Justin reveals why your nervous system is the true CEO of your body and how understanding it can unlock the healing you've been searching for.

Your nervous system determines whether you heal or stay stuck. When it feels safe through genuine connection—to others, to God, to your own body—your biology can finally do what it was designed to do: thrive. This isn't biohacking; it's healing. It's spiritual. It's holy.

Remember: You were designed to heal, but first you must live differently.

Key Takeaways

🧠 The Nervous System: Your Body's CEO

• Your nervous system governs everything from breathing to thinking to recovery
• It's constantly asking one question: "Am I safe?"
• The answer determines whether you heal or decay
• Includes your brain, spinal cord, vagus nerve, heart, and gut working together
  
  

📊 Heart Rate Variability: The Language of Healing

• HRV measures time intervals between heartbeats, not just heart rate
• High variation = adaptable, resilient system in parasympathetic mode
• Low variation = rigid, stressed system stuck in sympathetic overload
• HRV is the clearest marker of nervous system health
  
  

🔗 Connection: The Foundation of Healing

• The nervous system regulates through connection to community, family, your body, and God
• Touch, prayer, and family gatherings all lower stress
• You can't regulate alone—community is essential
• Real-life examples of HRV spikes during meaningful connections

The Science Behind the System

Key Research Findings:

• 2007 Nature Reviews Neuroscience study: Chronic stress leads to suppressed immunity and accelerated aging
• 2021: 150x increase in HRV studies
• Higher HRV correlates with better emotional regulation, mental clarity, and immune resilience

Why Stress Accumulates:

• Your body doesn't distinguish between real and perceived stress
• Past, present, and future stressors all trigger the same response
• Mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual stress affect your system equally
