Have you ever wondered what the Bible says about fitness?

This is an episode you are going to want to save. It may be the most important podcast episode I’ve ever done, and here’s why.

Throughout my fitness journey, I have felt a battle inside of me that I think will sound familiar. This battle surfaces in an array of feelings...doubts, fear, frustration, and questioning. It tempts us to be prideful or compare and even feel like what’s the point. This battle is our flesh and our spirit, and it’s going on within us each day.

Today, we take our power back by learning what the Bible says about Fitness.
As your fit sister in Christ, I care a lot about you, so I made you a gift to go with this Episode.

Yes! You can get fit and feel good in your body.

Today is all about the NEW! 

I'm so excited to share that I wrote a New Book, Fit God's Way!

“Making fitness a Spirit-led lifestyle instead of a flesh-driven frustration project is the turning point of greatness,” And as you make this pivotal change, you discover a new hope because God can do a ‘new thing’ in your fitness.” 

This book is the daily plan every Christian woman has been missing!

"Fit God’s Way isn’t about achieving a look, it’s about...

* Special note...A couple of months ago, I shared with you that I was declaring war on hormonal and age-related weight gain. Well, I'm happy to share that with God, I beat it!

I mean, don’t you want to know if there’s anything you can do to prevent back injuries and shrink your waist? Yep - I thought so!

But before I say another word, let’s pray!

Dear God, It’s tough living in the world where we hear things like snatched waist, love handles, and muffin tops, and see endless body part photos that can make...

Sisters, I had a moment this week. It was like Jesus connected all the pieces of my fitness goals and my hormonal weight struggle. Everything clicked together, and I could see the clouds lift.

Today I’m going to share the things I learned and the conversation I had with a top integrative Doctor that made this happen.

 If this is your struggle, I want this clarity for you too!

Before you read another word, let’s pray.

Father God, Help reveal to my Sister what is keeping her from her best health and fitness. Give her clarity. Show her you are with her. God throughout the day, help her remember to stay connected to you. The answers to her problems and the consistency she needs are found in you, Don’t let her lose hope. Father do a new thing in her today, show her it isn’t over, and the best is yet to come.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

Okay, let’s dive in!

Why am I gaining weight so fast during perimenopause/menopause?

A few things are going...

What do you do when you have a plan but it’s not working out?

Truth talk! It's hard.

My guest, Bethany Beal from Girl Defined Ministries, knows a lot about Trusting God. She even wrote a book, Trusting God with the Twists and Turns of Your Story.

Maybe you:

• Just had a setback,
• Heard a tough no, or
• You’ve been working hard

...but nothing is happening.

 How do we know what to do?

Life throws us curve balls:  health issues, rejection, comparison, insecurities, and doubts, but today’s show will share How to Trust God’s Plan for Your Life.

My guest Bethany Beal is head-over-heels in love with her best friend and husband, David, and is the super proud mommy of Davey Jr. She is the co-founder of Girl Defined Ministries, author of several books and is passionate about spreading the truth of biblical womanhood.

From miscarriages to building a business, to fitness goals in the midst of hormone imbalance we covered a lot. You will laugh...

 You are on my heart today! I know the battle to get healthy is hard and you’re facing things today that you think no one understands, but Jesus does. I want to remind you of that today, and help you get free and on the right track in Him today!

I want to quickly say that I’m right there with you sister, and I understand the struggle too. I’m trying to make every food choice a God-made one, and I’m faced daily with the same choices you are. To work out or put it off. To look in the mirror and see a fearfully and wonderfully made woman of God or someone I don’t want to be. We are on this battleship together, it is not a cruise ship, so let’s get powered up and prayed up for the day.

My prayer for you.

Dear God,

I pray over my sister today that she would know you are there to take her pain, her hidden hurts, and you can help her with the habits that keep her from your best. Father, the world is so loud and the journey to be fit is hard....

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...

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.

Prepare to be blessed, sister!! Let’s dive in!

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...

Need to tear down any walls of insecurity, fear, or approval addiction? God wants you to own your worth and claim your space!
