In God’s Strength: A Rim2Him Testimony
Tammy’s hike in the Grand Canyon didn’t go as expected, but it went exactly how God planned. The following is Tammy’s testimony from Rim2Him, Revelation Wellness’ annual fundraising hike in the Grand Canyon. Training for the Grand Canyon Hike across the Grand Canyon from rim to rim in one day?! I couldn’t imagine it, but […]
How to increase your N.E.A.T. during the day
Here’s how to transform a sedentary lifestyle into days filled with non-exercise activity. All your movement matters. In 2016, my doctor told me if I didn’t make any changes to my health I’d probably have a stroke within 4 years. That’s when I found myself crying out to the Lord in the parking lot of […]
Here’s how to use your gifts to support your community
When I think of all the beautiful things that God has created, it takes my breath away. Whether I am on the mountain top, in the woods hiking through the wilderness, or laying on my hammock in my back yard listening to the birds sing early in the morning, His creation is radiantly majestic. Enter […]
How to be creative with your whole heart, mind, and strength
Do you know that you are creative? Creativity is not just reserved for a select set of people with paintbrushes or instruments. It resonates within us because we are image-bearers of the God who made us. God’s creativity reflects his glory and his character to the world (Romans 1:19-20). We are invited to bring glory […]

I was frozen, standing on a 45% slope, a 45-pound backpack secured to my back, moving scree rock echoing under each step and all around my feet with a steep cliff one half of a football field away from me. I did not have control over my footing and knew that one more step was […]
What does it mean to fear the Lord?
A couple of years ago God stopped me dead in my tracks as He put a spotlight on my sin. Have you ever had that happen to you? As Christians we enjoy the gift of GRACE that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. It’s a wonderful gift! But if we’re not careful grace can turn […]
Serving God on the basketball court
November 2018 was the end of another round of surprising twists, turns, and travels in my life. I had spent just over half a year serving in Nuremberg, Germany – using fitness and other tools to reach and connect with others to show Jesus’ love in word and deed. I was prepping to lead another […]
Does your to-do list rule you?
“Mom! I need your help with Math!!” came the plea from the dining room. “But I don’t know what this word is!” whined a voice from the kitchen table. “Would you please just let me finish this email, guys?” I crabbed from my desk. It was my first year having both of my youngest kids […]
Heavy love is hard work
Heavy love sometimes requires hard work, like pulling weeds. Living on a small farm in the country surrounded by woods I see the order and rhythm of God in the changing seasons. He has a purpose for each season and a plan for each seed. Some seeds are beneficial and good. Other seeds cause harm. […]
Do you feel stuck?
One of the words the Lord has spoken to me since completing Instructor Training is “be still”. Being still is hard when you’re in a battle. But that’s exactly where God has placed me. Back at Instructor Training in November 2018, I was battling many lies I had believed for the last several years. These […]
