In her latest book, Defying Fear, licensed chiropractic physician, triathlete, life coach, author and speaker Dr. Nancy Meyer inspires readers to find the courage to embrace their true value.
DEFYING FEAR is a fictional story inspired by a compilation of true events where she inspires people to defy fear in their own lives by embracing their true value through a focus on spiritual, emotional, and physical practices. Through her personal journey and incredible feats, Dr. Nancy serves as a powerful example of defying fear!
From the outside, Lila Frost seems to have it all together: she is smart, educated, and accomplished. But behind closed doors, she endures consistent abuse from her husband, although she doesn’t fully recognize that abuse is part of her story. Anxiety and fear are unwelcome familiars in Lila’s daily life. For years, she believes the lies as well as the blatant and veiled threats her husband continually throws at her.
But as Lila rekindles her faith, with the support of friends, she learns to defy her fear, take courageous steps, and embrace her own value. The question is, can she sustain her newfound transformation, or will old patterns once again drive her into a pit of depression and despair? Lila’s future depends on one thing: choosing courage and acting in faith, again and again.

27 min - 266: A Pickleball Confession: Never do this if you want to stay married! On Disordered Love: A Personal Journey toward Loving God First
Today I open up about my struggle with prioritizing winning over my love for God, using St. Augustine's concept of disordered love to illustrate how this behavior can lead to sinful idolatry. I delve into the role of anger as a revealing indicator of disordered love, referencing various biblical verses and neuroscientific insights. I share a personal story from a pickleball league where my competitive nature led to destructive behavior and strained my relationship with my spouse.
I discuss the necessity of realigning one's priorities and actions to reflect a love for God above all else, and conclude with an invitation for you to reflect on your own priorities and challenges, reminding you of the transformative power of renewing your mind. Grab a bit of hope for positive change and growth believing you have the potential for lasting transformation in every area of your life!
