A practical tool for embodied faith.
From your ears to your hands to your feet, we want to help you remember that you and your good body are made by God for a purpose – to enjoy and glorify Him.
In The Body Revelation, Alisa writes, “Our bodies are how love makes its way into the world” (8). By “love,” she means the redemptive, life-giving love of God.
In other words, God’s love is not shared by telekinesis or sheer force of will. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we share the gospel, receive the gospel, and live according to the gospel in and through our bodies. Everything from our eyes, ears, mouths, hands, feet, brains, and hearts is involved.
Even if you suffer hearing loss, vision loss, or have limited movement, you are embodied, and so is your faith.
Yet, how often are you careless toward your body? How often do you wish you had a different body? Or feel that your body is insufficient for the work God has called you to do?
How often do you curse your body when God has called it good?
As an embodied child of God, you bless others through the work of your body.
As a vehicle of blessing, your body is also in need of blessing. From your ears to your hands to your feet, we want to help you remember that you and your good body are made by God for a purpose – to enjoy and glorify Him.
A Tool For Embodied Faith
We designed the Body Blessing Cards with embodied faith in mind.
Each of the 52 cards features a Bible verse on one side and a body blessing on the other. Keep them in your wallet, purse, bathroom, windowsill, or wherever will help you to remember that your body is how God’s love gets seen, and vanity has nothing to do with it.
Body Blessing Card Sample
Prayer
You can use the Body Blessing Cards as a prayer guide. See how we used the card above to pray about listening to God and following Him more earnestly.
Jesus, you say that your sheep listen to your voice. Lord, I trust you. I am thankful to be one of your sheep. Help me recognize your voice above the rest.
Jesus, thank you that you have called me to yourself. You know me. You know my thoughts from afar (Psalm 139:2). Even when I feel far off from you, I’m grateful that I never am.
Lord, unblock my ears from distractions and lies. By your Spirit, tune my ears to hear your voice and follow you more wholeheartedly. Amen.

Hi there, Happy New Year.
I am wondering If you could get me in touch with Alicia Keeton? I was listening to one of her podcasts from Revelation Wellness maybe 3 years ago now. After an incredible workout with Alicia’s guided praise workout around the lake I experienced something so beautiful. I was turning off my headphones as her program ended. And I was walking straight into someone’s very hard moment. And what I did and said and the picture I took of the sky immediately after it happened has blessed me. I feel yes it’s my story, however I believe this blessing belongs to Alicia too.
Thank you kindly
Sue Ellen Ludford

Sue Ellen,
I just happened upon this (truly a Glory sighting) and I want to thank you for sharing your encounter from the lake and the poscast!
