How former Mr. Universe Ron Williams overcame a traumatic path to win champions on stage, but figured out how to be a champion off stage. Amy Connell | Graced Health Podcast

Today I’m speaking with Ron Williams. I don’t even know how to begin introducing him. He’s an internationally decorated bodybuilder, former Mr. Universe, Former Professor of Exercise Physiology and Nutrition, Pastor, Master Fitness Trainer for the Army, Author of several books, including Faith & Fat Loss, Developer of the Iron Chest Master, and personal coach.

But what’s so incredible is Ron’s humility and humbleness. His faith is clearly the cornerstone of all he has done. If you saw him you might assume a few things…just like the saying. You might assume he’s had quite a rosy life. You might assume he has no grace for imperfect eating or a missed workout. And you might assume his focus is all about looks. These would all be false assumptions. You’re going to really appreciate all Ron has to say, much of which he also discusses in his book Faith and Fat Loss.

***We do speak of a couple traumatic events, particularly sexual assault, so if you need to choose a more appropriate time to listen then hit pause and come back. I know you don’t want to miss this episode.***

We discuss:

  • The litmus test of does something offer life and longevity when I put it in my body?
  • His traumatic upbringing and what kept him from committing suicide 
  • The shocking moment that led him to accept Christ
  • His process to integrating his faith and health
  • Soul wounds and scars and how to heal them
  • Impactful and meaningful ways Ron gets in God’s presence
  • How he avoids the trap of legalism and idolatry 
  • How pain fuels the passion
  • How unresolved trauma impacts our body
