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.

TODAY, TODAY, TODAY: SEIZE THE DAY CHILD OF GOD!!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Steve and Lance break down what it truly means to seize the day by tapping into the Holy Spirit and walking with Him today—not tomorrow, not someday… today.
We dive into Exodus 15–16, where God teaches His people to rely on manna for the day, not stockpiles for the future. God was shaping them to trust His provision, not their circumstances. The same is true for us—so why do we constantly worry about tomorrow?
Then we move to Matthew 6, where Jesus addresses the root of worry and exposes the heart of our doubt: Do we actually trust God to do what He says? He never tells us to pray for tomorrow’s bread—only today’s. So how do we live like we believe that?
We unpack:
- How to release the things that drain your power, like unforgiveness.
- The decision-making power we often throw away—and how to take it back.
- Why what you run to in chaos reveals what (or who) your god is.
- How to focus on what truly matters and seize the day spiritually.
- The cake analogy: having the ingredients (prayer, the Word, fellowship, stewardship) doesn’t matter unless we put them together daily.
- How to live each day aiming to bring God glory.
This episode is all about trusting God today, pursuing Him daily, and choosing the things that build momentum in your walk with Him.
Tune in—and seize the day.
