OM DENNE EPISODE
What if your greatest setback is actually preparing you for your greatest calling?
In this episode of Pillars of Purpose, Matthew Efird sits down with health performance expert, entrepreneur, and author Justin Roethlingshoefer to share the incredible journey that transformed his life.
After battling childhood obesity, anorexia that led to liver and kidney failure, and later a life-threatening health diagnosis while leading at the highest level of professional sports, Justin realized something life-changing:
Health isn't just an athlete issue—it's a human issue.
Justin shares how God used burnout, failure, and an unexpected moment alone in a kayak to completely redirect his purpose. That moment eventually became the foundation for OwnIt Coaching and inspired his new ministry and upcoming book, Holy Health.
Whether you're leading a business, serving your family, or simply trying to steward your life well, this conversation offers practical wisdom about health, leadership, faith, and living with greater purpose.
In this episode, you'll discover:
-Why burnout may be revealing something deeper
-The connection between health and your God-given calling
-How "Who, Not How" transformed Justin's business
-Why obedience matters more than immediate success
-The surprising story behind the "Kayak Manifesto"
-How Scripture and science work together to support whole-person health
