What does it mean to 'train' for the Kingdom w/ founder of Kingdom Athlete Kellie Schiller
In this episode, we sit down with Kellie Schiller, the powerhouse founder behind Kingdom Athlete — a movement redefining what it means to pursue fitness through the lens of faith. From her days navigating the party culture at Iowa State to finding radical transformation in Christ, Kellie shares her raw and redemptive testimony that led her from striving for aesthetic goals to training with eternal purpose.
We talk about:
- Her turning point moment in college where Jesus became real
- How fitness became a spiritual calling
- The story behind Kingdom Athlete and its first powerful event
- How 1 Corinthians 9:25 fuels her training and leadership
- Encouragement for anyone feeling stuck in their fitness or faith journey
Kellie also opens up about the hardest parts of building a ministry brand, balancing leadership and marriage, and the “why” that keeps her going on the tough days. Plus, she shares what’s next for Kingdom Athlete and how you can get involved.
