Do your days keep getting away from you?

• You mean to workout.
• You want to eat right.
• You want to read your Bible.

But by the end of the day, you haven't done the things you promised you'd do?

This episode will teach you to win the moment in front of you, this is how we reach impossible goals...one small win at a time? 

I think we forget to celebrate the impossible God has done and will do in the in-between places.

Jesus replied, “The things that are impossible for people are possible for God.” – Luke 18:27 

God wants us to praise Him like it’s already done, but don’t we get frustrated in our impatience, complain, and quit too soon?

Try recognizing this and choose to win the moment in front of you.

As Charles Duhigg explains with the Theory of Small Wins in his book, The Power of Habit, “Small wins fuel transformative...

This is for the girl who has… 

•  Lost motivation
•  Isn’t seeing results  
• Hit a plateau  
• Is tired of eating God-made Whole Foods
• Needs to get back on track

Step 9 of the F.I.T Bible Study Series is about keeping your eyes on God and trusting Him, even through all of the “what if’s”.

What makes F.I.T. different from other programs is the daily commitment to keep our eyes fixed on God. The time spent in our daily F.I.T. Power Hour is meant, first and foremost, to help us grow in our faith. From that faith comes the desire and the strength to honor Him with healthy choices in other areas of our lives. When we get away from our time with Him, the cares of the world take over. For this reason, we must continue to go to the Word and not the world when setbacks cause us to swerve of course.

F.I.T. Bible Study Series: Step 8 “How to Find Joy in Your Fitness Struggle”

Step 8 of the F.I.T Bible Study Series is about changing your perspective and finding joy in every situation.

"The joy of the Lord is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10)

If the joy of the Lord is our strength, then happiness isn’t material; it’s a choice we make in those tough moments to see Him working in our circumstances rather than focusing on our problems. I find joy by grabbing my daughter and hugging her, playing my favorite Christian song that makes me feel overwhelmed by God’s love and His presence, choosing to see people through the eyes of grace—remembering all the things God has forgiven me of, and recognizing when I choose gratitude over complaining. 

Even if you make mistakes along the way, don’t let yourself be controlled by self-doubt, laziness, depression, or any other negative feeling along this F.I.T. journey. Let the joy of the Lord...

F.I.T. Bible Study Series: Step 7 “How to Control Your Appetite and Stay Motivated"

I’ve witnessed hundreds of people work tirelessly to lose weight only to gain it all back. In fact, more than 80% of people who have lost weight on a dieting plan regain all or more of it after two years.12 Sadly, this is the very result of most diets because the common short term mindset of dieting overrules the lifestyle change that should be happening. Lasting change requires lasting commitment. 

I can’t even count the number of times I’ve lost weight only to gain it all back. Until I got my mindset right, I was on a never-ending roller coaster of restriction and overconsumption—happiness and depression. A pivotal shift in my thinking came when I realized I wanted to be happy and healthy all the time, not only after I’d lost weight for a special occasion.

 F.I.T. Bible Study Series: Step 6 “How to Eat God-Made”

If you struggle with weight loss, dieting, overeating, stress eating, or using food to cope, this will help you learn how to beat this with the Word, create Godly eating habits, and how to make a God-made plate of food. 

Glorify God in Body and Spirit

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. – 1 Corinthians 6:12 

Did you know Jesus wants to eat with you?

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. – Revelation 3:20

Many of us use food to cope with stress, we find ourselves mindlessly eating quite often. And although this coping mechanism may seem harmless, it can shake the foundation of health that we are trying to build into our lives. 

It has been argued that if...

This lesson is vital for your fitness success through faith.

Because we don’t want to do anything apart from God, we will be setting F.A.I.T.H. goals. These are a play on SMART goals, but they have key differences that enables us far beyond our ability. Jesus!

Why Faith Goals? Because faith sees the invisible and does the impossible. - Oral Roberts 

Step 5 of the F.I.T Bible Study Series is about setting a good foundation and mindset for changes to come with your new healthy lifestyle. Let me explain. 

Picture your life. Think of the issues you have dealt with that kept you on the sidelines and denied you health and happiness—depression, anxiety, fear, self-loathing. How long did you stay there? Are you still there? Just like the lame man by the healing pool, you have the option to get well. The only catch is that you too must get up and move. Jesus told him, “Get Up!” Is getting up all that’...
