Book 1: The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne Stabile
Quotes about the Enneagram and self discovery within the realm of God:
“Once you know the dark side of your personality, simply give God consent to do for you what you’ve never been able to do for yourself, namely, bring meaningful and lasting change to your life.”
“The Enneagram doesn't put you in a box. It shows you the box you're already in and how to get out of it.”
“How, as John Calvin put it, “without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.”
“The good news is we have a God who would know our scrawny butt anywhere. He remembers who we are, the person he knit together in our mother’s womb, and he wants to help restore us to our authentic selves.”

Podcast Info
Title: Freedom From Diet & Spiritual Freedom
Total time: 18:59
Release date: July 30th, 2021
Summary:
Each month Danielle is going to recommend a book for you and a book for your kids and explain how the books can enhance your life. This month Danielle focuses on books that discuss Freedom, that is spiritual freedom and freedom from diets.
You’ll hear:
The power of reading to nourish your mind - How finding stories that connect to you on a personal level can move you to growth in no other way

How humans were created to crave

How it is important to discuss slavery

How reading can open roads to difficult conversations with your children
Book 1: Made to Crave, Lisa Terkeurst
Quotes about food and God:
“I’ve realized when the desire for treats is triggered by difficult emotions, it’s not really desire for treats - it’s a thinly veiled attempt at self-medication” (130).
“Of all things lost and gained, the courage to repent might just be the most significant for me”(182).
“One wise choice can lead to two, can lead to three, can lead to a thousand, can lead to the sweet place of utter dependence on God and lasting discipline” ( 175).

Quotes about slavery and freedom:
“It wasn’t right for one body to own another or pull strings to make them
jump” (51).

shelves without turning my head. My eyes were as starved for words as the rest of me was for dinner” (59).

July 05, 2021Let Freedom Ring
Title: “The Freedom Ride - Finding freedom where boundaries are understood ”
Total time: 25:51
Release date: July 5th, 2021
Hashtags: #freedomfromdiets #beintentional #spiritualjourney #boundaries
Summary:
Do you check boxes to reach goals? Are you a rule follower? Or do you do whatever you want because life is short, or God has saved you and given you Grace? The lives of legalism and license are dangerous to both our relationships with God and anything or anyone else. Life is made to have balance. Although the term “boundary” may be off-putting, it is what God has given us to live our best lives. God created boundaries for us out of love. Listen to hear about the freedom from legalism and license can set your life free in a way you never knew existed.
You’ll hear:
How your spiritual journey is like riding a horse: Your destination is always moving toward God

The difference between legalism and license in reference to the Bible & Christ

The difference between legalism and license in reference to the world of diets

Checking boxes in terms of rules and guidelines in Christianity & nutrition can create an unrealistic reality of your relationship with God & yourself

Just because we can, doesn’t mean that we should

The middle ground of legalism and license is boundaries
Some questions Danielle addresses on the show:
What are legalism and license?

Are you a “box-checker” in terms of your relationship with Christ? With your relationship with your body?

Do you really love Christ if you are going out and doing all the fleshly acts and treating your relationship with Him like crap?
Call to Action: Assess your relationship with God. What are the boundaries he has created out of love for you? What do they look like? Then, assess your relationship with yourself. Are you setting boundaries for yourself to be healthy both physically and mentally? How are the two of those relationships similar? In the comments of this post, please share any interesting revelations that are helpful.
Scripture mentioned:
Believer’s Freedom in 1 Corinthians 10:23
“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive.
Galatians 5:13
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Hashtags: #persistance #change #goodhabits #Grit #growthmindset
Summary:
Each month Danielle is going to recommend a book for you and a book for your kids and explain how the books can enhance your life. This month Danielle focuses on books that discuss perseverance, Grit, growth mindset for adults and kids alike.
You’ll hear:
The power of reading to nourish your mind - How life examples and research can motivate you to keep going

About books that deal with the focus on learning from failures and setbacks to be successful and gritty.

About Danielle’s experience reading Grit by Angela Duckworth & its research that leads to tips to develop long-lasting Grit
Book 1: Grit, Angela Duckworth
Quotes about grit and growth: “No one wants to show you the hours and hours of becoming. They’d rather show you the highlight of what they’ve become.”

“‘It’s about the in-the-moment self-awareness without judgement, [Terry Laughlin} continued. “It’s about relieving yourself of the judgement that gets in the way of enjoying the challenge.’”

“Grit depends on a different kind of hope. It rests on the expectation that our own efforts can improve the future. I have a feeling tomorrow will be better is different from I resolve to make tomorrow better. The hope that gritty people have has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with getting up again.”
Book 2: Rosie Revere, Engineer, Andrea Beaty
“Your brilliant first flop was a raging success! Come on, let's get busy and on to the next!" She handed a notebook to Rosie Revere, who smiled at her aunt as it all became clear. Life might have its failures, but this was not it. The only true failure can come if you quit.”

Title: “To Legit to Quit”
Total time:
Release date: June 7th, 2021
Hashtags: #toolegittoquit #beintentional #prayer #visualization #accountability
Summary: Change takes time. Consistency and discipline take time. We are halfway through the year and we can always use some time to settle down and re-evaluate our daily habits, our dreams, and what we can do to keep going. There are three practices that can help us help ourselves. We can align our spiritual and physical journeys and glad closure to God when we visualize, apply a method of accountability, and pray.
You’ll hear:
About aligning your spiritual and physical goals with Biblical meaning

That cherry picking scripture is never good for anyone

Focusing on the ways you can nourish your body

“Doing good” is subjective

How practicing visualization, accountability, and prayer can keep you from quitting

Visualizing the outcome of your goal isn’t always the best

Accountability saves people from giving up

“Life without prayer is like running a vacuum over your carpet and turning around and realizing it’s unplugged.”
Some questions Danielle addresses on the show:
What is “doing good” in a health journey?

Have you quit?

What can you do to stop from quitting?

Is my spouse/partner a good accountability partner?

How can I pray without feeling intimidated?
What is it that you are visualizing? What is the goal you want to see happen? Tag a friend or share this podcast with a friend to help them be accountable/help you be accountable.
Scripture mentioned:
Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

Hebrews 12:11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Romans 8: 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
What is it that you are visualizing? What is the goal you want to see happen? Tag a friend or share this podcast with a friend to help them be accountable/help you be accountable.
