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.

The Word We Say: But Rarely Mean
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This one starts when I tried to end it all.
But it wasn’t just about addiction.
This episode is about Surrender.
Your plate. Your weight. Your pain. Your past.
And how nothing really changes until you surrender.
We’re talking about generational patterns, emotional eating, fake timelines, and trying to muscle our way to freedom.
If you’re tired of white-knuckling it.
If you’ve tried everything but you’re still stuck.
If you want to lose the weight but gain your life back too…
This episode is for you.
💬 What I cover in this one:
- What happened the moment I finally let go
- Why control is killing your peace, sleep, metabolism, and healing
- The stories you’re telling yourself that God never wrote
- What surrender actually looks like — in your workouts, food, and timeline
- The real reason you're exhausted, anxious, and still stuck
- How generational curses are really just generational choices
- The truth about the scale, obedience, and healing from the inside out
