All Things Cultivated

The term "healthy" is floating around the internet in abundance these days. This has many fitness, nutrition, and health and wellness gurus touting their "expertise" in this area. Whether it is the promise of losing weight without dieting or losing weight without exercise, everyone has a solution to our weight loss dilemma. But what if I told you I had a scientifically proven, inexpensive, and simple strategy to facilitate weight loss... One that does not require a meal plan, special diet, or tons of exercise...one that is simple enough, it does not require a personal trainer, coach, or mentor. What is this secret? W.A.T.E.R

In this episode, I discuss how vital and essential water is to the human body and how it can help to facilitate weight loss; however, I also discuss how vital and important God's living water is to the spiritual body. If you find yourself in a perpetual state of thirst... unfulfillment...or a constant state of emptiness, this is the episode for you.

We all have an inside voice. No, I am talking about the one we lower when we're in public. I am referring to the persistent and sometimes nagging inner thoughts we experience throughout the day. Research suggests we have over 60.00 thoughts per day. What are you doing with yours? This is how I manage my inside voice.
