Today I am inviting you to come behind the scenes with me and take a look at the inner workings of my new book Fit God's Way. I'm going to share the good, the bad, and the ugly and some sister secrets here today. I want you to walk away with value and something that can help you right now that is always my goal.

When I look back at how this new book came to be, I see how God made the impossible, possible.

I felt really called to open up about this process, the rejection, the hard work, the success, and as I prayed, I heard the Holy Spirit say it's in God's timing, your faithfulness, and relying on Him to finish strong. I want to share the truth, the reality of all the hard work, the stuff you don't see when you look at a book cover.

I think sometimes we see the end result and we don't see the middle so today we're talking about the middle spaces where we give up and quit.

Okay, so I want to share the truth and the reality and how it doesn't look like what we think it looks like. So...

I had the best conversation with a true woman of God! Her name is Rachel Elizabeth Murray. She's a personal trainer and a competition coach. If you've ever been through trauma, need healing, or if you've been hiding your pain with fitness goals keep reading!

The healthiest industry isn't getting any healthier. But why? Rachel’s theory makes so much sense and she shared it will me! It's neglecting the source of health and fitness. The truth is, looks can be deceiving. You can look super healthy, even super hot while burying trauma disorders and spiritual atrophy. Let’s dive into my conversation with Rachel Elizebeth!

Can you tell us where or what trauma you mentioned on your website that jumpstarted this belief that the industry isn’t getting healthier?

“I experienced sexual abuse in college, and the only thing I knew to turn to was running as some form of fitness because I had grown up in sports that became very destructive. And I mean, destructive...

God’s Principle

Before we get into all these tips about shopping, meal planning, and how to give your kitchen a makeover to help you with your health and fitness goals, I want to share that God has given us a principle in His word that we must follow when it comes to food.

We know the world is full of diets and tricks and has created a flesh-driven mindset around fitness, but I teach a Spirit-led lifestyle. The founding principles of Eating God-made and living this Fit God’s Way lifestyle are centered on this scripture:

“Do not be...

Have you ever had this thought…When will I feel like I'm enough? It's a gut punch. Let's be real, right? We all have that. 

So this morning, I was praying, and I was asking God, Lord help me. How can I make this a message? What do I need to say to my sisters to help them through this? How can I help myself? This is a place we all struggle with. And he brought the woman at the well to mind. 

Friend, have you ever really like dug into all the layers and all the context and all the meaning behind that? If not, don’t worry! I'm going to unpack all of this today with you. Because her story teaches us about worth and feeling enough. Let’s dive in!

Are you striving for your enoughness?

Apart from God, are you getting your fulfillment from how many people follow you on social media? How cute you look today in your outfit? There's no judgment here.I have felt like both of these. So I just want to make sure you know, I'm talking from experience.

I want to help...

I bet today you might be facing something that feels bigger than you and you could use this faith-filled reminder. “The Best View Comes After the Hardest Climb.”  This New Episode will inspire you to keep putting one front in front of the other in Christ.

God often uses our pain to push us forward, and we will never become who He made us to be if we don’t keep climbing.

Kelley Tyan knows a lot about this. Her Mom had health issues all her life and ended up passing away, but it was HER FAITH that taught Kelley that the “The Best View Comes After the Hardest Climb.”

Kelley joins me on the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast to share how she kept climbing even after the death of her Mom, facing breast cancer, and leading women to live fit through faith with Jesus at the center of it all.

Listen above and stay on your climb, speak to that mountain girl, God’s got this!

Here are the highlights of our time together:

Addicted to the Climb

You know those issues we don't often hear about in church topics like suicide, depression, eating disorders, low self-esteem, domestic violence, generational curses, and toxic relationships? I recently interviewed the amazing Courtney Dawn Shaw, and she has dealt with all of these issues, sisters. She is married to her best friend Jeffrey, and she is the mom of Kingston and Carrington. (Don't you love those names?!) She is an author, speaker, health advocate, spokesperson, and TV and radio host of the Authentic Living Show and the 2014 and 2015, Mrs. Florida America. She is a longtime health advocate and member of the President's Council on sports, fitness, and nutrition.

I want to start with one question about your book, New Dawn, New Day, New Reign? Why reign? How did God give you that title?

“I get asked that a lot. I began my Christian walk as a young teen and really surrendered, and those were some of the darkest years...

Have you ever needed God to answer a prayer or wondered what you need to do to hear from Him? How do we hear from God? How do we know what God wants us to do when we need answers? Today I am giving you three things you can start doing now to be more open to hearing from Christ. 

Read His Word

Did you know the Bible is the best-selling book of all time? According to the Guinness Book of World Records, it has sold over 5 billion copies!

If you want to know what God’s instructions are, what He wants you to do, to think and ask for, you will find it in the Bible. So often we think we aren’t hearing from God but it’s often because we aren’t reading His word and we don’t study it. Of course, there are times when God seems silent, but in our faithfulness, He is working behind the scenes as Romans 8:28 tells us, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

Chances are, if you love Jesus and fitness, you’ve experienced the pain of being judged! First, let me say if this has happened to you, I’m sorry. I know how this feels, and it hurts.

This topic lights a fire in me, and apparently, a lot of our sisters…I’ll share how I came to discover this in a moment.

Here’s the goal of my heart today. I want to share some stories of my own experiences and a sweet sister so that you know you’re not alone and, most importantly, what God says about this to clear up the emotional pain, confusion, and judgment. Today will be fun and freeing. Let’s dive in!

A Wordly Image…

The other day I was answering my comments and messages on social. Under a video I posted on teaching women how to invite Jesus to eat with them and how doing, so it helps us control our appetites, there was a comment with words I have heard before. Her comment said, “You are saying the right things, but your image is...

Okay, so sister to sister, why as Christians do we struggle with believing success is God's will for us?

Have you ever asked yourself:

• God, I think you gave me this gift, but I'm scared to use it. Is it really your will?
• God, do you want me to be successful? Is this my ego or is it you?
• God, I keep failing at my goals, is it okay to ask you to help me succeed?
• God, why do I keep getting to a place and then quitting?
• God, can you help me believe I can succeed? Lord, help me with my unbelief.

Until I learned what I'm going to teach you today, it made reaching the goals God gave me...Hard!

Like standing on the scale and beating myself up over the number looking back at me… Hard!

Like answering the call to write a book, or start a business, and a podcast, and wondering who am I to do any of this? Is this even God's plan for me?.. Hard!

Like I’m old, it’s too late!... Hard!

Through a lot of prayer and diving deep into studying my Bible, God gave me His Blueprint for...
