I've discovered 4 things that help me to make creating better habits easy and stick around for the long haul. Isn't it frustrating to try and establish new healthy habits and not know where to start or what to focus on? Spoiler alert, it's so much more than just the activity of the habit. AND I don't believe it takes 21 days to create a healthy habit, physically or mentally. It takes as long as it takes...just try and not eat sugar for 21 days and turn down sugar on the 22nd day. It's not always the magic number.

The new year is usually when a lot of people and ministries call a fast. Sometimes it's a 21 day, and other times its simply a 3, 5 or 10 day fast. But, for some fasting can trigger a feeling of deprivation, restriction and starvation which leads them to struggle keeping a fast, obsessing over the scale during a fast or even gaining weight by binge eating after the fast is over. Mindset is everything here! Fasting for religious reasons is not a diet or weight loss program. It is a time to step back and focus on growing closer to the Lord and putting off distractions, consecrating your time to God and killing the flesh (or at least quieting it for a time). It's important to know there are a few ways you can implement and mindsets you need in order to make fasting more enjoyable and less triggering. Today, I'm talking about those. I am starting the Daniel Fast this month with Joshua Giles Ministries (they're doing a fruit and veggie only fast), and today I'll share with you how to do the Daniel Fast in a nutshell with a great Bible Study resource to help you get started right on your Holy Bible App!

Suffering is one of those words we’d rather avoid—but it’s also one of the places God does His deepest work. When we go through suffering, our natural instinct is to run, escape, or numb the pain. For many of us, food has been that escape. But God invites us into something different: endurance.

Today we’ll unpack what it looks like to endure suffering God’s way—not by gritting our teeth, but by leaning into His presence. We’ll talk about the difference between simply “getting through” pain and actually allowing it to shape our character and strengthen our faith.

Endurance isn’t easy, but it’s powerful. It produces resilience, it renews our hope, and it teaches us that even in the hardest seasons, God is faithful. And when we learn to endure with Him, food loses its grip as our go-to comfort.

Food addiction is one of those things we don’t like to admit, yet many of us quietly live with it. It might not look like drugs or alcohol, but the truth is, food can have just as strong a hold on our minds and bodies. If you’ve ever felt like you can’t stop thinking about food, or you find yourself pulled toward fast food, sweets, or chips even when you know they’re not serving you, you know the struggle is real.

In this episode, I’m sharing what God has been showing me about food addiction, why it’s more common than we think, and how it’s connected to the way our brains are wired for reward. But here’s the good news: freedom is possible. You don’t have to stay controlled by cravings. With God’s truth, renewed thinking, and intentional steps, you can break free and walk in lasting health.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’ll never have enough”? Maybe it shows up in your finances, your time, or even your relationship with food. That mindset of lack—the poverty mindset—keeps us living in fear, hoarding, overeating, or overspending, instead of walking in the abundance Jesus promised us.

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking what it really means to break free from the poverty mindset and step into life more abundantly. I’ll share personal stories from my own journey of growing up in the “land of never enough” and how God has been renewing my perspective. We’ll talk about why this mindset is so sneaky, how it shows up in everyday choices, and the shift that happens when we invite God to reveal and heal the roots of scarcity thinking.

Friend, you were created to live whole, healed, and free—not trapped by a poverty mindset. It’s time to walk in the abundance Christ died to give you.

Why is it that when life feels overwhelming, we so often run straight back to old habits—like reaching for food to numb the pain? The Bible tells us that trials are part of life, but they are not meant to destroy us. They are meant to refine us.

Today we’re talking about how to walk through trials without letting them drive you back into the arms of emotional eating. I’ll share stories from my own struggles and how God reminded me that trials are not a sign of His absence—they are often the very places where His power shows up most clearly.

When we reframe our trials as opportunities to trust God, we stop seeing them as obstacles and start seeing them as the training ground for freedom. Instead of reaching for food when life gets hard, we can learn to reach for the One who truly satisfies.

Have you ever noticed how quickly your mind drifts back to old patterns when life gets stressful? Thoughts like “I deserve this food” or “I can’t help myself” can feel overwhelming in the moment. But here’s the good news: God has given us a powerful weapon—His Word. And when we pray Scripture, we’re not just speaking words—we’re aligning ourselves with His truth and authority.

Today we’ll talk about how praying Scripture renews your mind, builds your faith, and equips you to stand strong when cravings or emotional triggers arise. Instead of relying on willpower, you’ll discover how to pray God’s promises back to Him and experience His peace and strength in the middle of the struggle.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about practice. Every time you turn to God’s Word instead of turning to food, you are building a new habit of freedom.
