The Soul Gym
Every other peak performance podcast gives you the tools and leaves out the power source. We don't.
The Soul Gym equips Christian athletes in college and pro sports with the mindset science, physical performance strategies, and unshakeable identity in Jesus Christ to become complete — lacking nothing — on the field, in ministry, and in life.
We build the foundation on Jesus first. Then we stack the strategies of mind and body on top. That's not a religious show. That's a complete show.
Hosted by Lance Thonvold — Seattle Mariners MLB draft pick, D1 athlete at the University of Minnesota, Teammate of the Year, and a speaker who has stood in locker rooms across the SEC, Big 12, and Big 10 — and Steve Watson, former NFL player with the Washington Redskins and Baltimore Ravens, team chaplain for ASU Football, mentor to athletes at every level, and founder of BE BOLD.
Two guys who've lived it. One show that doesn't leave anything out.
Train everything. Lack nothing.

FEAR DON'T CALL THE PLAYS: DONE BEING SCARED
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Fear isn’t something you outgrow—it’s something you face. We’ve both let fear control us at different points in life. It’s kept us from stepping into opportunities, made us believe lies about who we are, and even caused us to shrink back from the dreams God put on our hearts. Maybe you know that same fight.
In this episode, we open up about the real ways fear has shown up in our lives—through past trauma, self-image struggles, judgment from others, and the constant whisper of the enemy. But we also talk about what it looks like to push back, to step out of comfort zones, and to chase God’s purpose even when fear is still barking in the background.
This isn’t us preaching at you—it’s two brothers sharing the fight, reminding you that fear doesn’t get the final word. Jesus does.
👉 Don’t miss this one—because the next time fear shows up, you’ll be ready to call it what it is: a lie trying to keep you from your purpose.
