Revelation Wellness - Healthy & Whole

What do you do when what you see doesn't look anything like what God said?

In this REVING the Word endurance workout, Aaron invites you to move at a steady pace while reflecting on Mary's story in Luke 2. When circumstances don't seem to align with God's promises, we can treasure what He has shown us and remember that His faithfulness doesn't change.

You may not see it now. It may not look the way you thought it would. But if God is in it, it's not over.

IN THIS WORKOUT

• What to do when what you see doesn't align with what God said
• Learning from Mary's practice of treasuring and meditating
• Building spiritual "equity" for the hard moments
• Releasing the responsibility that belongs to God
• Trusting God when you don't understand
• Remembering that the One who called you is faithful

ANCHOR SCRIPTURE

Luke 2:19

"But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart."

EMBODIED PRACTICE

As you move, sit with this question: What do you do when what you see doesn't align with what God said?

Then remember what God has already shown you. Treasure it. Meditate on it. Write it down. Store it up.

And when you come up against something that feels too big, remember: if it's not good, it's not over.

"Facts will only get you so far. Nobody needs more information. Everyone needs the encounter with the God who loves you."

What if the invitation isn't to try harder, but to receive?

In this conversation, Alisa sits down with our friend, Stasi Eldredge, author of The Ladder of Love, to talk about learning to receive the love of God, the healing journey of knowing ourselves as beloved, and what it means to honor the bodies God has intentionally formed.

They talk about moving from performance to receiving, from striving to rest, and from watching and controlling our bodies to letting ourselves be shepherded by the One who made us.

IN THIS CONVERSATION

• Learning to live as God's beloved • Moving from performance to receiving • Why our bodies matter to God • Being formed and shepherded by God • Emotional healing and spiritual intimacy with Jesus • What it means to embody the love of Christ

In this REVING the Word workout, Alisa walks through Jesus' promise in John 16: the Holy Spirit is our Helper. He comes to strengthen us, advance us, and convict us—not to condemn us, but to lead us back into truth. Conviction can feel uncomfortable, especially when the Holy Spirit points out where we've stopped trusting, started compromising, or allowed the world to get in us. But what if we learned to welcome His correction as a gift? You are not alone. You have a Helper. New to REVING the Word? In REVING the Word episodes, we don't just listen to Scripture; we practice it. We let God's truth move from our ears into our hearts and through our bodies. So move any way you want as you listen. Walk the dog, mow the lawn, listen as you lift weights in the gym, or dance in the kitchen. There isn't one right way. Just move, breathe, and as your body moves, let His Word move in you. ANCHOR SCRIPTURE John 16:7–8 EMBODIED PRACTICE Look at the "rocks" coming in your day. Where will you need help? Ask the Holy Spirit, "How do You want to help me here?" Then picture yourself moving through that moment differently with the Helper. PRAYER "Holy Spirit, I give You the right to convict me. Make me a prisoner of hope. Make me a prisoner of love. Tell me my faults. I welcome Your correction because I know it's for my life."

What if the parts of you the world has taught you to dismiss are the very places God wants to honor?

In this time of being still and being loved, Alisa invites you to breathe, release what you've been carrying, and receive the truth that you are beloved by God—your body, your heart, your mind, your desires, all of you.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12:22–23, we're reminded that the parts of the body that seem weaker or less honorable are indispensable—and that God bestows great honor on what the world may overlook.

Your weakness is not disqualifying. Your rejection is not the end of your story. Your pain does not make you less worthy.

You belong to the body of Christ. You have an important role to play.

Take a deep breath. Come, Holy Spirit. And receive the honor God is giving you.

ANCHOR SCRIPTURE 1 Corinthians 12:22–23

"The parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable, we treat with special honor."

BE STILL & BE LOVED Come back to your breath as an act of surrender. Let the words of Scripture rest on you. You don't have to figure them out. Just receive them.

I honor you. You belong. You are indispensable. Receive my honor.

Have you ever hoped for something, and it didn't happen the way you hoped? You're not alone.

In this REVING the Word workout, Alisa takes us into Romans 5 and the surprising connection between suffering, endurance, character, and hope. Because sometimes hope hurts when we attach certainty to a specific outcome.

What if your hope isn't in how God will answer, when He will answer, or what it will look like—but in this: God will get His glory. You can be sure of what you hope for without being certain you'll see the exact outcome you're hoping for. So what do you do in the in-between?

Don't quit. Change your pace. Put your hope back in Christ. And worship.

New to REVING the Word?

In REVING the Word episodes, we come here to bow our heads and let our hearts speak, so God can pour His love into our hearts as we move. We move our bodies. We hear the Word of God. And we let God meet us—body, soul, and spirit.

ANCHOR SCRIPTURE

Romans 5:1–5

EMBODIED PRACTICE

Ask yourself: What am I hoping for? Write it down, but release your certainty about the outcome.

Put it on the altar and put your hope in a place it won't hurt, His glory.

Embody joy:

Guard your eyes and heart. Move your body. Be still. Pray. Listen to worship music. Read the Word. Do something that helps you embody joy.

Do you need help? Jesus tells us in John 16 that the Helper, the Holy Spirit, will convict us concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. Conviction can feel uncomfortable, but it is how we know we are children of God, the Good Father. In this teaching, Alisa invites us to rethink conviction. The Holy Spirit doesn't convict us to shame or condemn us. He convicts us because He loves us enough to show us the way. "The correction of the Holy Spirit is sweet." LEARNED HELPLESSNESS Learned helplessness is the belief that nothing you do will change your situation, especially after repeated setbacks. But here's the good news: it's learned. And if we've learned something, we can unlearn it. So, do you need help? Have you invited the Helper to help you? ANCHOR SCRIPTURE John 16:7–8 "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you. And when He comes, He will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment." THREE REASONS WE MAY NOT FEEL CONVICTION 1. We're too tired. We numb our hearts and don't want to be constrained in our fatigue. 2. The world is too noisy. We're overstimulated and overconnected, leaving little space to hear the whispers of the Holy Spirit. 3. We're moving too fast. When everything feels like a five-alarm fire, we can move so quickly that we miss what the Holy Spirit is showing us. EMBODIED PRACTICE This week, make room for the Helper:

• Practice silence
• Slow down
• Get some rest
• Read the Word of God
• Pray

PRAYER IF YOU'RE READY Jesus, I invite You to send the Helper to convict me of sin concerning anything that I am doing that numbs my heart towards You. Convict me. Open my ears to hear the whispers of the Holy Spirit. I offer You my appetites, my desires. God, restore me with rest. I'm sorry. I repent of too much, too fast, and too loud. I want to be taken captive as a prisoner of Your love and hope. Walk with me, Holy Spirit. Lead me in the ways I should go. I long to hear Your voice louder than the world. Convict me of sin, righteousness, and judgment. I love You and I thank You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

What if the thing you're asking God to resolve is actually the thing He's using to form you? In this REVING the Word workout, Jennifer Allen invites you to move and make space for the Holy Spirit to form you in the middle of whatever season you're in. Maybe you're waiting for clarity, navigating change, relationships, making a hard decision, or asking God to just fix something. What if peace isn't found in getting the answer, fixing the relationship, or resolving the thing you've been carrying? Jennifer invites us to consider a different kind of peace, the kind that comes from staying connected to Christ while the story is still unfolding. There are moments when God doesn't answer the questions we're asking. Instead, He asks us a better one: Who are you going to be? What if He's doing a deep work in you while you wait? New to REVING the Word? In these episodes, we don't just listen to Scripture, we embody the Word by moving our feet. So move however you can today, walk, run, march in place. There is no "right" way, so take a breath, and let your movement become your worship.

Jesus told His disciples, "Let us go across to the other side." And then a storm came. They were in the boat fighting a stom, and Jesus was asleep. The waves were rising. The boat was filling with water. And the disciples asked the question we've all asked of Jesus: "Don't you care?" In this REVING the Word workout, Alisa Keeton invites you into the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4. As you move and let the Word move in you, notice what happens in your body when you think about the storms you're going through. Let your movement become an opportunity to practice trusting faith. We are all headed for a storm, in a storm, or coming out of one. The invitation isn't to avoid the storm. It's to discover who Jesus is in the middle of it, and learn to trust Him.

"You want some change in your life? Start praying." -Maxetta Gadd

For anyone who's felt disconnected from their body. Tried to control their way into freedom. For anyone who's wondered if it's too late to start again. Pull up a chair and listen in as Alisa sits down with our friend, Maxetta Gadd, for a real, honest conversation about the winding road back to truth.

Maxetta gets real about the tension of knowing the truth but still finding yourself walking in lies. She shares the real struggles in her body and how missing out on opportunities to live life fully with the people she loves led her to make a bold change. Surrender.

What followed wasn't a quick fix or a perfect before-and-after story. It was a deep surrender that began changing the way Maxetta understood her body, her habits, her relationship with food, and the Holy Spirit's role in her everyday life. Truth was revealed. And it started with prayer.

This isn't a story about having it all together. It's a story of surrender. About discovering that what you thought was discipline could actually become delight. And about coming back to a community that will remind you who you are when you forget.

Because it's never too late to start again.

Be Still & Be Loved is a guided Scripture meditation designed to help you slow down, become aware of God's presence, and rest in His peace. In this time to be still and be loved, Alisa invites you to settle into your body, breathe deeply, and remember: His presence is in you. He is always near. Peace is found in Him. Drawing from Haggai 2:9, you'll be reminded that your body, mind, heart, will, and desires are a house of God, and "in this place, I will give peace." As you rest in this time of stillness, bring a current circumstance that feels unsettling or painful to mind and imagine living it as a person of peace. This is embodiment of the Word, and an invitation to receive His presence and live as a person of peace. Take a breath. Return to His presence. Receive His peace. He is already here. 🎵 Song: Peace by Anna Golden Ready to Go Deeper?
