Do you ever feel judged for how you look, wear your makeup, dress, or for your goals to be fit as a Christian woman? It hurts, right?! If legalism is new to you, I’m blessed to have the opportunity to show you the difference between a relationship with Jesus and a list of man-made religious rules.

Hear my heart. I have lived under much scrutiny trying to bring a message of faith and fitness into the world, so if you have been hurt by this too I want you to know the truth and freedom of Jesus.

Although we have never met, I’m certain I’m not alone in the intense desire to know what God says about these things, so  I’m going there today.  We are talking about Legalism in this Jesus Glow series because nothing will steal your light like a bunch of man-made rules and judgments.

 My Before and After

I know someone else needs to hear this. I'm praying as I'm typing that it will help you and you won't give up on your health and fitness goals.

It's hard for me to be vulnerable and share my before photo. To be honest, I don't have many old photos because I threw them away. I was horrified by pictures back then. 

This picture on the left is me before God. I was only 25. I had never worked out consistently, didn't know how to eat healthy, and I was miserable in my skin.

All I knew was dieting. That's what the world taught me. My weight went up and down and so did my worth.

But God! He met me in my pain and He helped me, so as your sister in Christ,  I'm going to share the first step that I took that changed everything. I made you a helpful guide that lays out the steps. Download it here. 

My Before. Without God in my fitness:

• I was taught dieting was how you get healthy
• I relied on willpower and self-confidence
• My weight went up...

You might think you have tried everything to get fit, but have you tried this? Join me to learn how God’s promises hold the answer for you. 

• This will teach you the promises of God and show you how they are the answers you've been missing.
• Did you know God is seeking an encounter with you?
• He wants you to turn to Him and rely on Him.

It’s in His grace that you can let go of your past attempts at getting fit and begin again, and become new in Him.

I  know God has a word for you in this new message that could transform your life. I can’t wait for you to hear it, because I know this is going to encourage you, strengthen you, and it could free you from what has kept you down. 

Here’s our foundational scripture

“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert."...

I was praying about how to end the 2023 Strong. Confident His. Podcast Season. It took a moment of pause and reflection to see God’s undeniable hand over every minute of 2023.

What unfolded were remarkable moments of God's grace, guiding every minute of the past 12 months. As I share my experiences, you'll witness how walking in faith, even in the face of doubts, led to incredible outcomes.

I'm not one to boast, but I feel compelled to acknowledge the divine support that carried me through 2023. Battling feelings of who me, being too old, or the thinking that it's too late, I chose to turn away from the devil's lies and follow the path laid out by Jesus....

Today, we have a special treat for you on the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast– an inspiring conversation with the talented and Emmy-nominated national host, Megan Alexander.  You might recognize her from CBS's "Inside Edition," Thursday Night Football, or the Country Music Awards.

Not only is she a familiar face on television, but Megan is also a bestselling author, mama to three, and the host of the holiday travel show, "Small Town Christmas." 

Megan and I sat down to discuss the importance of faith in culture and as women of God, we need to take our seat at the table God has prepared for us.

Here are the conversation topics, but please listen to this episode on the podcast player above or watch the live taping below!

Taking Your Seat at the Table

Megan Alexander shared some powerful insights. 

She said, “You have more power than you think. What matters to you? What are the non-negotiable? What if we could raise up strong solid women of faith in...

Birthdays have a way of making us reflect, don't they? I recently celebrated my 55th birthday, but you know what they say, age is just a number. I feel more alive than ever, and whether you're 15 or 90 or somewhere in between, these life lessons I've gathered over the years are like a compass pointing straight to Jesus.

I'm going to be sharing three foundational scriptures, here is our first.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV

You know, it's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, chasing after things that glitter but may not be gold. If God's not at the center, it's like building a house on sand. Sweet friend, trust His plan. If...

Day 15

Pray for God to make your fitness goals more about serving Him and less about what you look like.
