The 3 H’s of Faith and Fitness

(Press play above to listen to this episode, or enjoy reading below.)

As Christians, we don’t hear a lot about fitness, dieting, or body image struggles in the Church, so if you’ve ever wondered:

• Is it okay to want to be fit?
• Is it okay to ask God to help me lose weight?
• Is it okay to have body confidence?

Today’s episode will clear up any confusion!

Before I even dive in though, I have to say, thank you!

I was reading the iTunes reviews for the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast and ahem...lump in my throat! I was totally overcome with tears of gratitude.

And, because of you the podcast is reaching more of our sisters in Christ! Thank you for sharing it and telling your friends, because without you this would not be. Do you know that it has a 92% subscription rate? WOW! 

Let me just share what Lynn Archie wrote:

Iron Sharpens Iron: SOUL Good Scoop With My BFF

(Press play above to join us, or read below.)

Today I’m doing something new and super fun on the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast and Blog.

I’m starting a new theme called Girl Chat, and I couldn’t think of a better way to kick it off than with my bestie. 

This girl is my go-to, my superhero cape, my BFF for 20 years. 

Please welcome Kandace Hudspeth to Strong. Confident. His. 

We’re going to cover 3 Ways To Stay STRONG: Mind, Body, & Soul when life gets overwhelming!

Because let’s be honest... it’s a struggle right now!

It's human nature to "press pause" or put ourselves last when our world gets stressful....the voice of the enemy tells us to "wait for the perfect time" when we know that the perfect time is right now. 

Life doesn't pause and the good work we are called to complete doesn't pause either, so we hope this encourages you.

 Aging in His Grace: My Top Tips

(Press play to listen to this episode, or read the highlights below.)

If you struggle with how to feel about aging, or if it’s got you feeling down, THIS episode is exactly what you need to hear.

And stay with me to the end, because I’ve got a freebie for you with my top tips.

I titled this show, “Aging in His Grace”, because without His grace and without Him, we are left with the world’s opinion of aging, and it’s not a good one.

As I’ve aged, I’ve learned the truth that so much of aging is a mindset. It’s the thoughts you build about yourself constructing a godly vision or a worldly vision, and it’s captured vividly in the quote by Tim Challes:

Every day, we are all building the house we will live in when old age comes. Some of us are building a beautiful palace. Some are building a dark prison. 

So sister-in-Christ, what are you building? 

I can’t help but...

 “When we embrace God‘s wisdom, God’s word, and God‘s plan for our lives –  we no longer embrace fear, shame, or lies from the past and we rise and emerge with strength, wisdom, and truth!” 

YES and Amen!

This beautiful quote comes from today’s guest, Kendal Hagee.

If her name sounds familiar it’s because she is John Hagee’s daughter-in-law. 

She and her husband Matt have four kids and pastor Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, a non-denominational evangelical church with more than 22,000 active members.

Kendal is a co-host, co-creator, and producer of a faith-based lifestyle show called The Difference which airs on TBN and Daystar.

5 Things I Do To Keep the Weight Off and My Energy Up!

THIS might be that little something that's been missing that will get you to your goal, friend.

Today’s episode is inspired by my sweet girl Giavella, she said, "Mom! I think you should tell people the stuff you teach me it really makes a difference."

You may not know this but I write for a living, books, blogs, articles, and even the podcast content, so I could literally sit the entire day.

When I wrote my first book, 10 Steps to F.I.T. Faith Inspired Transformation, I would workout and then sit ... a lot, and I started to see my waist literally expanding, my shoulders slump, my mood, creativity, and energy drop.

Can you say, brain fog? And I’m not a coffee drinker...it wasn’t good!

As a certified fitness instructor, I should’ve known better, but I didn’t realize the effect this was having on me.

I was getting all of my caloric burn in...

Before I jump into today’s episode, I'm blessed to share this 5 Star Review: 

The Strong. Confident. His. Podcast has helped so much through this pandemic. I’ve wanted to give up on my fitness goals because the world seems so unstable right now and scary. Listening to the podcasts and doing the mini-course has helped teach me that I’m worth taking care of and I just need to do one day at a time with Christ. I’m feeling healthier than...

How to Get Free from Perfectionism & Performance with Demetria Stallings

(Press play to listen, or enjoy reading the highlights below.)

Have you ever dreamed of doing something, but thought, I can’t do that – what will people say?

Or felt pressured to be perfect, but it’s so hard to measure up to the expectations of others?

Do you think you have to perfectly follow a plan to find results, but when you don't, you beat yourself up?

The pressure to be perfect can be absolutely paralyzing.

Confession! I’m speaking from experience. 

Here's a real-life example, I was nervous about this episode because it was a LIVE Stream on Facebook and Youtube. 

But I know the Word – Galatians 5:1 says, “For freedom, Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

I had to make the choice to be free in Christ, free to accept that if I show up in Him, He’ll do the rest.

And you can too, friend!

The Big 3: Don’t Let These Make You Quit! 

(Press play to tune in to this episode, or read the highlights below.)

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, a bit down on yourself, or tempted to quit? 

Friend, I know I have and the sisters-in-Christ on my coaching call today have too – because it’s normal!

Even though we know better and do our best to follow God’s Word, we can get caught up in a bad moment and want to quit.  

There isn’t a single Jesus-loving fit person who hasn’t thought about quitting or got caught in the joy-stealing comparison trap.

In this episode, you will hear from women just like you, who:

• Struggle with controlling their emotions and finding peace in the pandemic
• Feel paralyzed by the ugly lie of perfectionism 
• Compare themselves to others and get tempted to give up
