In this episode of the Varsity Catholic Podcast, Brady and Ry sit down with Savannah Holtz: CrossFit athlete, coach, missionary, and mom of two to talk about one of the most misunderstood ideas in both sports and the spiritual life: discipline. From college athletics to CrossFit coaching to raising a young family overseas, Savannah shares how her understanding of working out has evolved—from obligation, to competition, to something deeper: a daily choice that shapes freedom. They dive into what it looks like to: Build discipline when you don’t feel like it Connect fitness and faith in a real, practical way Offer up physical suffering in workouts Stay consistent in prayer and training Live with intention in the middle of a busy, demanding life Along the way, they unpack the idea that discipline isn’t restrictive—it’s what actually makes freedom possible, and why doing “the next hard thing” can change everything. If you’ve ever struggled with consistency—in the gym, in prayer, or in life—this episode will challenge you to rethink what discipline is really for.
