Is your hustle holy?
Do you want to know if your “hustle” is holy? Ask yourself this question: “Am I being motivated by fear?” If the answer is yes, go deeper. Am I afraid of being fat? Afraid of being poor? Of being less than or not enough? Our modern culture has taken the art of supercharging our fears […]
What to do when you don’t feel seen?
I am usually not a big fan of the flexed muscle selfie because, to me, it seems so “look at me!” When I study Jesus, I never see him “flexing” except when he was trying to get the religious leaders to open their eyes to see a new Kingdom was taking place – The Kingdom […]
Should I or shouldn’t I workout today?
The balance between being flexible and being disciplined can be tricky when you encounter daily curveballs. Here’s a good principle for discernment. The kids get sick. An unexpected phone call from someone who needs your help. You had a rough night’s sleep and you just don’t feel like waking up and working out. What is […]
Why I would never do a Christian fitness instructor certification program.
Over 12 years ago God invited me to do something different…to start teaching fitness–the thing that I loved so much–from His perspective. My response: “No way! Never! No, thank you, God. Find yourself another fool.” That’s the Gospel truth right there. There was no way I was going to do something like that. Something that […]
Your Body Is Not Broken
Your body is not broken. God just needs to show you how it works. In the name of Jesus we come against the spirit of accusation. The bully in the backseat who tries to tell us where to go. We take a stand against his lies and his power, which is as strong as the […]
Confessions of a girl with IBS
I have IBS. There…I said it. My bowels are irritable. “Irritable bowel”..those two words strike up the image of my stomach turning into a room of spoiled, sleep-deprived, candy-eating preschoolers who bite, pull hair, make a mess, and expect everyone else to pick up after them. Digestive health issues are a weird thing. They can […]
At-home, online, Christian workouts that hold the cheese, please.
All right friends. Seriously…GOD is REAL! What I am about to announce to you is nothing but God. As some of you know, when God asked me if I wanted to do fitness His way, I ran the other way. “Uh…no thank you.” Like Jonah, instead of going to Nineveh, a dark place where God-haters […]
Jumper Cable Prayer
“Neglect not the gift that is in thee…” 1 Timothy 4:14 Sometimes at night when I can’t sleep, I find myself laying my hands on my husband’s back and praying for him. I find if I have extra energy, for whatever reason, it does me well to exhaust myself on speaking life. No matter how […]
Are those real?
I bet you didn’t know this, but when I was younger I was teased for having muscles. Yup…it used to make me so self-conscious. I felt weird. Odd. Different. Kids would pinch my arms in the school hallway and say, “Are those real? Are you part man?” Heck…that still happens. Until I reached my […]
How to stick to a fitness goal?
“You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways” Isaiah 64:5 In one more day I will of completed my goal of reading the bible in a one year. Last year, at this time, I felt the call to lay my eyes on every page, paragraph, scripture and word […]
