Ephesians 5:6 says, “Let no one deceive you with empty arguments.” And wow—don’t we see that all over the health and fitness world?

Messages like:
❌ “Perimenopause and menopause have to suck.”
❌ “This supplement is the only way you’ll survive this season.”
❌ “The shot is the only way to finally lose weight.”

These are nothing but empty arguments that keep women fearful, frustrated, and chasing quick fixes.

But God has a better plan. His Word reminds us that our bodies were created with purpose and that true healing, peace, and strength come when we align with His original design—not the enemy’s lies or the world’s marketing tactics.

In this episode, I’m encouraging you to:
✨ Discern truth from deception.
✨ Stop believing every health headline or flashy promise.
✨ Anchor yourself in God’s wisdom for how your body was designed to work.

When we stop chasing empty promises and start walking in God’s truth, we not only steward our health better—we find peace, freedom, and strength that no “fix” can offer.

Let’s stop being deceived by the noise of the world and instead tune our hearts to the voice of the One who designed us.

Ephesians 4:30 reminds us: “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”

As followers of Christ, we carry the Holy Spirit with us into every part of life—our work, our relationships, even our health and fitness. That truth is both a comfort and a conviction. If God’s Spirit is always with me, am I living in a way that honors Him?

In today’s episode, I share how this verse challenges me personally to examine my daily habits, choices, and thought patterns. From the way I care for my body to the way I respond under stress, I want to live with a heart that pleases Him—not one that pushes Him aside.

When we recognize the Spirit’s presence, it changes everything. Conviction leads to freedom, not shame, because God is calling us closer to Himself.

What you’ll learn today:

• What it really means to “grieve the Spirit”
• How the Spirit’s presence should shape our everyday decisions
• Practical ways to invite the Spirit into your health journey
• Why conviction is a gift, not a burden

Let’s learn to honor God in the way we live, move, and steward our bodies—because He is with us in it all.

Ephesians 4:24 says, “Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” This isn’t a one-time decision—it’s a daily act of surrender. Every day, we get to choose whether we live in our old patterns of thinking and behaving, or step into the new identity Christ has given us.

In this episode, we’ll talk about what it looks like to “take off” the old self in your health journey—whether that’s unhealthy habits, negative self-talk, or striving in your own strength—and instead “put on” the new self, rooted in righteousness, grace, and freedom.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognize the old patterns of behavior and thought that keep you stuck
• Practical steps to replace unhealthy habits with life-giving ones
• Why health is more about identity in Christ than willpower or quick fixes
• How to walk in daily renewal so your body and spirit align with who you truly are

This journey isn’t about perfection—it’s about daily surrender and transformation. When you choose to put on your new self, your health habits begin to reflect the grace and freedom you already have in Christ.

🌿 Scripture: Ephesians 4:24
✨ Takeaway: True health is found when we daily live from our new identity in Christ, not our old patterns.

So much of our health and fitness journey isn’t about food or workouts—it’s about our mindset. In Ephesians 4:23, Paul reminds us to “be made new in the attitude of your minds.” That means the real transformation begins by aligning our thoughts with who we are in Christ.

In this episode, we’ll dig into what it looks like to take captive the lies we believe about our bodies, food, and fitness, and replace them with the truth of God’s Word. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll never change,” “I’ll always struggle,” or “I’m not enough”—this message is for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why mindset matters more than motivation in lasting health
• How to recognize thoughts that don’t align with Christ
• Practical ways to renew your mind daily in your health journey
• The freedom that comes when you stop letting the enemy dictate your thoughts

This isn’t about striving harder—it’s about surrendering your thoughts and letting God’s truth reshape how you live, eat, move, and care for your body.

🌿 Scripture: Ephesians 4:23
✨ Takeaway: Transformation in your health begins with transformation in your mind.

Ephesians 4:22 says, “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires.”

Sister, today we’re digging into what it looks like to take off the old patterns that are keeping you stuck—whether that’s shame-driven dieting, emotional eating, comparison, or neglecting the temple of your body.

This isn’t about willpower or performance—it’s about surrender. Just as we take off old clothes that no longer fit, we can choose to take off the lies and behaviors that no longer belong to us as daughters of Christ.

👉 In this episode you’ll learn:

• How to identify fleshly patterns in your health journey
• Why “taking them off” is an act of obedience, not self-punishment
• Practical steps to walk in the light and freedom Christ has already given you

If you missed my personal story of salvation, where God radically met me and pulled me out of striving, you can listen here: [Episode: My Story of Salvation]

✨ Let this be the day you take off what doesn’t belong to you and step fully into the new creation you already are in Christ.

Ephesians 4:20–21 reminds us: “That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in Him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.”

Sister, this passage calls us to take a hard look at what doesn’t line up with Christ—and name it. Whether it’s fear, comparison, overeating, self-hatred, or shame, you have the authority in Jesus to say: “____ is not the way of life I learned in Christ.”

In this episode, I’ll challenge you to fill in that blank for yourself and surrender it to God. Because your stronghold does not define you—Jesus does. And when we call it out, we step into the freedom He died to give us.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why identifying strongholds is the first step to breaking free
• How Ephesians 4:20–21 reframes your identity in Christ
• A simple, practical exercise to put your stronghold in the light of God’s truth
• Encouragement to walk in freedom and power today

Scripture to Reflect On:
Ephesians 4:20–21 – “That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in Him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.”

Takeaway Challenge:
Fill in the blank: “_______ is not the way of life I learned when I came to Christ.” Say it out loud. Write it down. Pray it over your life. And choose to walk in the freedom that is already yours in Jesus.
