In this very special Fit Beyond 40 Family episode, Coach Crystal welcomes her husband Nelson to the mic as he courageously steps into the spotlight to share his transformative journey of faith. Together, they dive into conversations that go beyond fitness, into the deeper work of the soul, marriage, and spiritual awakening.
Nelson grew up in a Catholic household, steeped in tradition and religious rituals. Yet there came a moment—a turning point—when his heart could no longer stay where it was. In this episode, he recounts:
His upbringing in Catholicism: the structure, the expectations, and the questions that quietly simmered beneath
The turning point: what prompted him to explore a born‑again faith, and how that shift challenged every part of his identity
The early, struggling days of walking as a new follower of Christ: the doubts, the breakthroughs, the tensions
How his journey has shaped his marriage with Crystal, their parenting, and their shared mission in Fit Beyond 40
And Crystal isn’t just host — she’s a fellow traveler. Drawing from her own testimony (which you can listen to here via Coach Crystal’s Testimony Episode), she connects the spiritual dots between her path and Nelson’s.
