Shane Manney – 5 Stones Fight Club, Overlapping Faith with Fitness, and MORE!

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast, Dan
is joined by Shane Manney to discuss the 5 Stones Fight Club,
Gym, and Ministry in Pennsylvania. The two discuss the 5 Stones
Journey, the overlap and interplay between faith and fitness, and
so much more! 


5 Stones goal is to engage individuals in mixed martial arts and
fitness so that they can become both physically fit and
spiritually sound. Relating our struggles on the wrestling mats
and in the cage to our daily battles in life, and to provide the
necessary support to become moral representatives of our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 5 Stones uses a team atmosphere to
grow trust and build a sense of belonging. By employing the
Biblical phrase “..iron sharpens iron..” relationships are
strengthened, and a “family” of brothers and sisters is created,
both in athletics and in Faith. Introducing them to Jesus Christ
through the Gospel with the goal of leading them to personal
salvation and a relationship with Him.


Shane Manney is the founder of 5 Stones Fight Club. He has over
20 years of coaching experience that includes wrestling, boxing,
submission grappling and strength training. He spent six
years as an infantry machine gunner in the United States Marine
Corps, two years as a police officer in Richmond, Virginia, and
eight years as a private security contractor and security lead
supervisor for Exelon Nuclear Security. Currently, he works
in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation at Pennsylvania
Counseling Services. 


At 5 Stones, Shane instructs wrestling, submission grappling and
strength training classes. As the director of the missionary
committee, he oversees 5 Stones’ International High-Risk
Missions, working in various conflict zones around the globe to
bring hope, joy and the love of Jesus to those in need. He
also facilitates the “War Room” at 5 Stones which is a time of
fellowship, baptisms, prayer and celebration. Shane is married
with three children.  He has been a follower of Jesus since
he was a young boy and in 2016 earned a bachelor’s degree in
Biblical Studies from Lancaster Bible College.
