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...

First, let's understand the basics of this topic

Spokane Christian Counseling defines Body Dysmorphic Disorder as "much more intense than simply disliking one's body features. It is a severe preoccupation in some aspect of one's appearance, thinking about it for hours or days...

Let’s just dive right in today and talk about why Christian women get stuck and can't succeed at their fitness goals and find worth. I want you to know about them so you can spot them, overcome them, and when they come up against you, you have a battle plan to win!

Here are three things that will come against you as a Christian trying to get fit, so let's hit them head-on, deal?

Without faith, though, I'm saying that I don't trust you, God, and that's not good. Looking back, there are times when I did not have the faith in Him that I have now. But I believed, prayed, asked, sought, knocked, and had faith that if I looked at God and believed without seeing, He would give me His...
