Quiet That Inner Critic!

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

Why are we so hard on ourselves?

• Do you beat yourself up?
• Do you rehearse what you should’ve, could’ve, or would’ve done (fill in the blank)?
• Do you feel like you’re failing yourself every day?

Romans 8:1 tells us...

“Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior].” 

But somehow it’s tough for these words to come off the page and into our thinking, right?

In your quiet moments, stop and reflect on this question: am I really failing, or am I not living up to a standard that someone else made for me?

Sweet friend, what extreme expectation or missed opportunity has a grip on you?

God blessed me to be on the 700 Club and Christian Broadcasting Network, CBN News.  (In case you'd like to check out these episodes, I've included the...

Get Motivated: Faith Fuel for Your Workout

(Press Play to listen to today's episode or read the show notes below.)

This topic is oh so good today. 

People always ask me how are you so motivated to workout, so I’m going to share my answer.

...The truth is I wasn’t always motivated. 

Maybe today you feel like I did and working out seems like a chore, but it doesn’t have to.

Our world idealizes being fit with extremely lean bodies. I think this can make us feel defeated before we even start or make us quit when we don’t see the progress the package or promotion promised us.

...But then we’re missing the whole, real point of working out.

Too often working out is all about what we look like instead of taking care of our bodies (His Temple) I jokingly say, it isn’t about vanity it’s about sanity, because working out makes you feel amazing! 

Who wants more energy, better sleep, less stress, increased cognitive function, and of...

A Christian Woman’s Solution to Weight Loss, Dieting and Eating Healthy:

(Press Play to Listen or Read Below)

• Are you tired of starting your diet over every Monday?
• Does it seem like you gain and lose the same five pounds every week?
• How many times have you said this is it! I’m starting a diet on Monday, and then the weekend was an all out binge?

> Promising you’re going to live on chicken, broccoli, salmon and green beans, oats, eggs and protein shakes, doesn’t work!

Let’s face it, anyone who’s been on a diet knows that willpower doesn’t last.

 I rode this emotional roller coaster for years, and I learned the hard way, so I want to help you avoid the years of struggle.

 If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then you have the power of the Holy Spirit working in you.

 Maybe you never made this connection, but it’s absolutely life-changing.

Did you know that you can trade willpower for the...

Strong. Confident. His. The Heart Behind the Mission

Trusting God, even when it's hard, changes everything...

Last year was a very hard year for me, I haven’t shared this publicly, but I had to have multiple surgeries. Without going into a lot of detail, the result was a medical malpractice lawsuit. 

Faced with a long ugly process, and little, if any reward, I felt God telling me to drop it, to trust Him, and to move on with my life.

The moment I did, the floodgates of clarity, creativity, and energy poured in.

God put a new song in my heart and lit a fire in my soul. 

The morning after I let it go, while I was in prayer, I felt called to finish a big dream I’d had for years  – write a faith and fitness devotional.

With 20 years in the fitness industry, as a cover model, competitor, and writer, I wanted to share how complete surrender of my appetite, fitness goals, and body image issues were the...

I’ve been hearing a lot of questions from Christian women lately due to the pandemic. 

Questions like…

• How do I stay strong in my faith?
• How do I fit a workout in and take care of myself with kids at home and how do I stay motivated?
• What do I do with my business goals, how do I pivot and prepare for the future?

I’m not going to sugar coat it – we are living in uncertain times and things are changing every day.

As women of God, we need to stand firm in our faith more than ever.

Consider this a hand on your shoulder and a friend praying over you.

I am amazed by the outpouring of the Christian community banding together in prayer, and seeing it on the news warms my soul.

I’m watching women, like my Strong Confident His guest today, stepping up and serving their families, community and businesses in powerful faith-filled ways.

If you need prayer today, your hope restored and could use some God-led motivation, we’re here to serve you.
