Ep. 507: What Is Sacred? Week 2 – The Body

Ned Schaut continues the What Is Sacred? mini-series by diving deep into the often-overlooked gift of the human body. Through candid storytelling (including the discovery of a dead rat in his garage gym), Ned challenges fathers to reflect on how they’re treating their physical health—and what message that sends to their kids. This episode unpacks the idea that the body is sacred, meant to be honored, stewarded, and respected. From making school lunches to squeezing in a workout, Ned asks, “Would your kids say their dad cares about his body?” With heartfelt insight and everyday dad grit, this conversation equips fathers to lead by example—building legacy through discipline, self-care, and intentional living. If you're ready to shift from survival mode to sacred stewardship, this one's for you.
