In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Christine Trimpe about her faith-filled weight loss journey, which led to a 100-pound transformation and a newfound calling to share the freedom found in Jesus. 

We talked about the challenges of maintaining faith and managing weight while exploring the connection between our spiritual and physical needs. We also discussed her diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and how focusing on one aspect at a time, such as sugar, and maintaining a strong spiritual connection through daily Bible readings, helped her overcome food addiction and improve her overall health. 

Additionally, we explored the importance of heart transformation in a weight loss journey and the significance of filling the void in our lives with God's word rather than food or worldly pleasures. 

Don't miss this inspiring and enlightening conversation that emphasizes the interconnected nature of body, mind, and spirit and the power of inviting Jesus into our personal journeys.
