Temple Keepers
Temple Keepers is a faith and fitness podcast for Christian men and women who want to honor God with their whole lives.
Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and caring for it is not vanity. It is stewardship.
Hosted by Matthew and Leah Headden, this podcast is for you if you are trying to lose weight, break unhealthy patterns, build strength, lead your family well, or simply stop feeling stuck, Temple Keepers will help you get back to what matters most. Just honest conversations, biblical truth, real science, and practical steps to help you walk in greater health, freedom, and obedience.
This is for the person who knows their health journey is about more than appearance. It is about worship. It is about discipline. It is about becoming the man or woman God has called you to be.
Welcome to Temple Keepers.

Episode 23: Obedience>Motivation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Biggest Takeaway: God never told you to be motivated. Motivation is a feeling. Obedience is a calling. If you're waiting to feel ready, you're already behind.
Episode Overview: In this raw and vulnerable solo episode, Matthew Headden opens up about Memorial Day, honoring fallen brothers and sisters in arms, and why this hard day reminds him that we don't need motivation to obey—we need conviction.
You’ll hear:
- The real reason Matthew almost didn’t record this episode—and why he did anyway
- The difference between motivation and obedience (and why the Bible never calls for motivation)
- Romans 12:1, Gethsemane, and examples of biblical obedience that didn’t wait for feelings
- How your health impacts your marriage, your kids, your calling, and your legacy
- What we’re really saying when we hit snooze, stay up too late, or skip our workouts
- Two clear obedience-driven paths to help you steward your body starting today
- A bold call to men to step up, lead their families, and stop outsourcing health to their wives
