Hey, sisters in Christ, I recently interviewed Colleen Fotsch. She literally is the embodiment of Strong. Confident. His. 

She's a data analyst and a five-time all-American swimmer at UC Berkeley, where her team won many championships, and after college, Colleen got into CrossFit. She competed at the games and the regional regionals multiple times as both an individual athlete and in the team division, and she had a first-place finish in the 15.5 where she was the fastest woman in the world. 

In 2020. Colleen was also recruited to join the USA Bobsled team. She’s been an athlete all her life, but she has her own struggles too. 

Can you please share a little bit about your struggles and your journey for those of us who don't know you?

“Yeah, absolutely. I've had two major injuries. I had a torn rotator cuff from just overuse from swimming, which I didn't get surgery on or didn't know was torn until I was midway through my CrossFit career. And that kind of...

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...

Don’t you want more peace? Have you ever really felt peace? I’m talking about the peace that only Jesus brings, not the I feel relaxed after a massage of peace. I’m talking about peace right in the middle of the craziness of your day, a peace that makes you find rest for your soul. 

Our peace affects our health in so many ways that it is vital that we stay in peace.

• Stress leads to weight gain, high blood pressure, and more.
• Guilt and shame can cause unhealthy coping habits.
• Unresolved anger and emotions can lead to depression and anxiety.

 This is why the enemy wants your peace. He's after your health: Mind, Body, and Soul!

Today I’m going to help you get this kind of peace! God wants His daughters equipped, so I’m giving you a Strong. Confident. His. plan for peace that works!

My prayer is that after you listen to this, you will fully enjoy the peace of God in all circumstances and begin to spot and stop taking the bait of Satan that rob...

Picture it, it’s after dinner, but you keep wandering into the kitchen and wanting to eat. Why is that? I saw a funny meme going around social media that had locks on the refrigerator and pantry at 7 o’clock at night, and the caption said, I hardly eat all day, so I have to lock up my kitchen at night, or I’ll eat everything in it!

This is funny because it’s true, but what it’s doing to our health is no laughing matter. 

Let’s gain Godly wisdom to stop our bad habits in their tracks! Maybe you’ve tried brushing your teeth, drinking hot tea, or you've even taken up a new project at night to keep you busy, but the desire is still there. What do you do? 

Let’s turn to wisdom! Here are 5 things to evaluate when it comes to this sneaky health sabotager…

Are you eating enough during the day?

Skimping on calories throughout the day backfires at night. And excess calories at night lead to weight gain. Calorie restriction all...

 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....

Have you ever just felt like not working out? You would rather fold laundry than a single lunge. Sister I have been there! But I have a few secret weapons of motivation up my sleeve to get me out of that rut and into the gym. Today I am going to share them with you!

Let’s dive right in!

The Word

Our first stop is the WORD!

“She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.” (Proverbs 31:17 ESV)

“For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;” (Proverbs 2:6 NKJV)

I want you to challenge yourself to transform your workout motivation! Don’t start the conversation with yourself, well I don’t have time today, I don’t really feel like it. Stop it by saying ay aloud, “Jesus, help me take care of my body!”

Spot the Traps

The devil will talk you out of working out with thoughts like you’re never going to look like you used to, it’s not working look at you you’ve been working...

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...

I had the best conversation with a true woman of God! Her name is Rachel Elizabeth Murray. She's a personal trainer and a competition coach. If you've ever been through trauma, need healing, or if you've been hiding your pain with fitness goals keep reading!

The healthiest industry isn't getting any healthier. But why? Rachel’s theory makes so much sense and she shared it will me! It's neglecting the source of health and fitness. The truth is, looks can be deceiving. You can look super healthy, even super hot while burying trauma disorders and spiritual atrophy. Let’s dive into my conversation with Rachel Elizebeth!

Can you tell us where or what trauma you mentioned on your website that jumpstarted this belief that the industry isn’t getting healthier?

“I experienced sexual abuse in college, and the only thing I knew to turn to was running as some form of fitness because I had grown up in sports that became very destructive. And I mean, destructive...

God’s Principle

Before we get into all these tips about shopping, meal planning, and how to give your kitchen a makeover to help you with your health and fitness goals, I want to share that God has given us a principle in His word that we must follow when it comes to food.

We know the world is full of diets and tricks and has created a flesh-driven mindset around fitness, but I teach a Spirit-led lifestyle. The founding principles of Eating God-made and living this Fit God’s Way lifestyle are centered on this scripture:

“Do not be...
