Jo Ellen Gilliland is a fitness expert who believes that it is important to not only train the body, but also the mind and the spirit. When we couple our workout with God’s Word, then we are making ourselves stronger and can achieve more than we even thought possible. In this episode you will find encouragement to take a step to improve your physical health and your spiritual health too!

Below are some of our favorite takeaways from today’s show:

️ Fitness and spiritually go hand in hand. When we train the body to be strong, we need to train our spirit to be strong as well. Having a tribe (aka accountability) helps us achieve the goals we want to reach in both our physical and spiritual lives.

️ Exercise does not have to stop for pregnant women. They can achieve their fitness goals with proper training and be healthy for when the baby arrives.

️ Faith is like a muscle. When we take a leap of faith it actually increases our faith and gives us the strength to keep going.

️ Turning a dream into a business takes grit. Knowing we can do hard things in the gym translates into other areas of our everyday lives.

️ Proper nutrition is vital to fueling our body so that it can be strong. When we have a healthy view of food, then we can feed our temple properly and it also prevents eating disorders.
