Rented House

The theology of physical fitness. This isn't a diet plan or a workout plan. It's about why your body matters to God: you're living in a rented house. God owns it, His Spirit lives in it, and one day you'll hand back the keys.

Paul's argument in four steps

The whole study grows out of 1 Corinthians 6:19–20. Each step comes with one question to ask yourself.

You were bought with a price

Who do I belong to?

Your body is not your own

Whose approval am I living for?

Your body is a temple

Am I limiting what God can do through me?

Honor God with your body

Will I invite Him into this part of my life?

What's inside

The four steps

One chapter per step, with stories, Scripture and a “Try this” action.

The 7-Day Challenge

One small step each day, starting with “Lord, this house is Yours.”

Talk It Over

Group discussion questions and a closing prayer.
