Hi Sweet Friend! Today we are going over the days 15 - 21 of our Fitness Bible Study Challenge!

This 21-Day Fitness Bible Study Challenge answers the questions of what God says about fitness, and how to incorporate God into fitness, and because it’s November, we are leaning into the spirit of gratitude and learning to be grateful, not hateful of our bodies.

This challenge will help you build a foundation of fitness based on the Word of God and help you create results with power, peace, and grace.

Day 15

Pray for God to make your fitness goals more about serving Him and less about what you look like.

Rather than make fitness all about what you look like, make it about how you live and who you live for. God has placed gifts in you and called you to tell people about Him. When you think of fitness motivation begin to consider getting fit to serve, for example, to go on...

Learn What the Bible Says About Fitness and 7 Ways to Incorporate God into Your Fitness 

Do you want to learn more about how to incorporate God into your fitness and what Christian fitness is? 

Today I’m going to share 7 ways to start doing that now!

Many of us are exhausted doing fitness the world’s way and we don’t realize that we have been trying to answer spiritual issues with world-based solutions. As we try to get fit, learn how to create healthy eating habits, and find peace with our body images, we need godly guidance. Maybe it never occurred to you to open your Bible before heading to the gym for your fitness but inviting God into our health and wholeness is the piece of the puzzle that has been missing. 

Today we are recapping the second week of our 21-Day Fitness Bible Study Challenge

This 21-day challenge is a Bible-based guide to give you the foundation of God’s love for you in your fitness. He is with you in your...

In the last three years the world has really changed, right?! Anxiety is at an all-time high, but as Christians, we don’t need to worry and fear, we need to stand on the Word. It is our sword! It is what we fight with. 

What we believe affects the way we think, feel, and live. It’s very hard for us to act or feel better unless we believe better. Today, I want to share 22 scriptures to help us control our emotions and enable us to protect our mental,  emotional, and physical health.

Science and the Bible

I was at Church and the Pastor mentioned a recent study. I wish I knew the source, but it stated that when we talk about something stressful it activates a part of our brain that increases anxiety, but when we pray about it reduces anxiety. Science is catching up to the Bible. 

One of the reasons we feel our emotions is because we want to be in control, but if we’re honest we have no control. We don’t need to try to be in control, we need to...

I have a story to share with you today that gave me the best example of what is going on in our bodies when we are working out and eating healthy. I mean, how many times have you quit just becasue you’re not seeing results right?

I love it when God makes something so clear, well that is exactly what He did with this story I’m going to share. Recently, I was getting my nails done and the salon had Fixer Upper on, it’s a home renovation show. I love home renovation shows. 

As I watched this sweet older married couple apprehensively allow their old home to be torn down to the studs, and I mean even the foundation was cracked and needed to be redone, God spoke to my heart and showed me something you need to hear... a fitness transformation is just like a home renovation.

See the parallel:

• Imagine your body as a home being renovated. 
• What year was it built?
• What storms has it been through?
• How has it been cared for?
• How much work does it need to be...

If you’ve been praying for a husband and you feel like you’re getting older and losing hope, this is going to remind you that you still deserve the fairy tale. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing television personality and author Wendy Griffith and her story is filling women with hope!

I met Wendy when she interviewed me on The 700 Club and we’ve been friends ever since.

Wendy has a story of inspiration for women who are looking for a Godly husband. She was living her dream as an international reporter and news anchor for the Christian Broadcasting Network but the one thing she really wanted was to fall in love and get married, but it seemed life was passing her by.

Have you ever wondered…

• If God cares about your struggles with food and fitness?
• How to get your eating under control?
• Why it’s so hard to stay motivated?
• How to have a healthy body image?
• Why worldly fitness answers don’t work?

Sister, I can promise you right now that God cares about you and every struggle or thought you have ever had.

Ladies come to me constantly wondering why they aren’t seeing results, why the fat isn’t melting, and the muscle building. They are doing everything their diet says to do.

Worldly fitness doesn’t work or last forever today I am revealing why.

Worldly Fitness Doesn’t Work

So often people ask me why they are stuck, unmotivated, or unable to achieve their goals, and when we dig into their issues, the answer is often unrelated to what they’re eating or how they’re exercising.

It’s found in the seven Biblical truths I will be sharing today. These seven Biblical truths will change you and your situation if you lean into them!

When Jesus is asked by the scribes what is the greatest commandment in Matthew 22:37-40, 

He replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second...

Overcoming what I’m going to share today has helped me succeed at goals I never thought I could, I’m talking about doubt!

Doubt to Defeat

Did you know the devil uses your doubt to defeat you?

Let me jump in with the Word. Get out your Bible or write these scriptures down because they are exactly what you need to know when you doubt, question, or feel confused.

James 1:5-8, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and...
