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.
Temple Keepers
She Stopped Listening to Diet Gurus… and Let God Lead Her Health.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’ve ever followed every diet guru and still felt stuck… If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you actually gave God your food for 21 days… If you’ve ever thought, “Is it weird to invite God into my workouts and my plate?”…
This conversation will feel like God putting His hand on your shoulder, saying, “Watch what I can do.”
Today, we sit back down with Keri, a Christian therapist, wife, and Temple Keeper, one month after her first live coaching call and fresh out of the 21 Day God Food Challenge.
You’ll hear what changed when she stopped listening to the world’s experts and let God be Lord over her health. How she accidentally lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks without dieting or obsessing. And how God met her in the deep places: childhood humiliation, food shame, sleep struggles, and the fear of truly being uncomfortable for Him.
This isn’t a “check-in.” This is a picture of what happens when a believer stops building the temple of self and starts stewarding the temple of God.
⭐️ WHAT WE COVERED
• How 21 days of God Food exposed the lie that “secular gurus know better than God.”
• Why bringing God into workouts turned punishment into worship
• Freedom in caring more about fellowship than food at church events
• How journaling and “little girl letters” helped heal old humiliation
• The triune-being shift that changed her daily decisions
• Why many Christians think it’s strange to invite God into food and fitness
• The truth is that most of us want comfort more than growth
• Why lukewarm, cotton-candy Christianity keeps us stuck
• How she lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks by focusing on obedience, not dieting
• The sleep struggle and what’s really happening in the body
• Matthew’s practical, science-backed strategy for deeper sleep
• How tithing, stewardship, and health share the same heart posture
• Why this isn’t “another program,” but a lifestyle of honoring God with your body
🔥 LINES WORTH KEEPING CLOSE
“God created me. Why did I think a secular diet guru had the answer for my body?”
“It doesn’t make sense to be spirit-led and then ask someone not walking with Christ how to live.”
“Freedom is found in the discomfort we keep running from.”
“We don’t grow in our comfortable seasons. We grow in holy discomfort with God.”
“I’m done with the sugar-coated, cotton candy gospel.”
“I don’t want to be lukewarm. I want to actually do what He wants.”
“You either believe Him, or you don’t.”
“You don’t need more willpower. You need more wisdom and obedience.”
“This isn’t a diet. This is my life. My temple. What God wants.”
