Open your hands and move your body as you hear this Good News that will shape you from the inside out, discovering that true strength isn't found in controlling the outcome. This is a practice of remaining faithful and firmly rooted in God's love, even as the story is still unfolding. Open your hands. Release the outcome. Stay faithful. Strengthen your heart.

Be Still & Be Loved is a guided Scripture meditation designed to help you slow down, quiet your mind, and rest in God's presence. Whether you're beginning your day, taking a midday pause, or preparing for sleep, this space invites you to breathe deeply and receive His peace.

Take a few moments to settle into a comfortable position. If you're able, lie down. If not, find a seat where you can rest without distraction.

As you begin to notice your breath, pay attention to how your state of being starts to shift. Every inhale and exhale is a reminder that God is near, holding you with His steady love.

In this guided meditation, you'll reflect on 2 Corinthians 4:7:

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us."

Though our bodies are fragile, they carry something infinitely valuable—God's presence. He is our greatest treasure, and He treasures every part of us, including our minds. Together we'll quiet the noise, fix our thoughts on what is excellent, noble, and true, and rest in the One who is making us new—body, mind, and spirit.

Breathe deeply. You are held. You are loved. You are His treasure.

Have you seen videos of people experiencing a dramatic emotional release and wondered, "Do I need that to heal?"

The conversation around trauma, somatic healing, and nervous system regulation has exploded in recent years. Many point to the bestselling book The Body Keeps the Score and the idea that trauma is stored in the body. Others argue that trauma isn't stored in the body at all, but rather in the brain's predictive patterns and responses.

So what's true?

In this episode, Alisa explores this important conversation through both science and Scripture, examining where biology and theology meet. Together we'll consider what trauma does to the brain and body, why healing requires more than information alone, and how God's design for our minds and bodies points us toward lasting freedom.

You'll discover:

• What somatic release is
• The difference between trauma being "stored" in the body versus encoded in the brain
• How trauma can impact our ability to shift from fear, anxiety, and hypervigilance into peace and safety
• Why tending to the body can help us tend to the mind
• What Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 10:5 teach us about renewing our minds
• Why healing happens in connection, not isolation
• How the compassion of Christ invites us into true restoration

Alisa also unpacks Jesus' encounter with the man at the pool in John 5, asking a powerful question: Do we truly want to be healed, even when healing requires discomfort, surrender, and change?

Practical Ways to Participate in Healing

1. Get close to Jesus
   • Spend time in God's Word until your heart is awakened to His truth and love.
2. Stay connected to God's people
   • Healing happens in relationships with people who embody the love and truth of Christ.
3. Practice daily sacrifice
   • Learn to become comfortable with healthy discomfort.

These practices are more than spiritual disciplines—they are psycho-neuro-biological pathways that help align our minds, bodies, and spirits with God's design for wholeness.

Join Alisa Keeton for a light interval workout and contemplative prayer practice rooted in Romans 8:28.

Drawing from the teachings of Thomas Keating, Alisa explores surrender as an active posture of trust—not apathy, but courage. As you move, you'll consider what it means to welcome God into every part of your life, especially the places where you're striving, overfunctioning, worrying, or trying to stay in control.

Through gentle intervals and reflective questions, you'll be invited to notice where your fists are closed and practice opening your hands to God's presence. Together, you'll explore the difference between groaning and grumbling, how suffering can become a pathway to deeper trust, and why surrender is often the beginning of coming home to God.

This workout will help you shift from frustration to fascination, from anxiety to adventure, as you remember that God is working all things toward good. Come ready to move, reflect, and strengthen your surrender.

In this interval workout, Alisa Keeton invites you to move your body so you can return to your body—and encounter a God who created it.

This is not a "have to." It's a get-to.

A chance to care for your body, nourish it, and remember that worry and striving lead toward bondage, while presence leads toward freedom.

A Question to Begin

When was the last time you felt truly seen by God?

Because the God who sees… sees you.

Today's Scripture

📖 Genesis 1:31

"God saw all that He had made, and it was very good."

The Hebrew word tov means good—whole, complete, flourishing.

Before anything was said, there was seeing. God didn't just declare goodness—He saw it.

Knowing vs. Being Seen

Knowing God is cognitive. Being seen by God is embodied.

To know we are good, we need to be seen.

Three Ways to Experience Being Seen by God

• Read the Word
• Gather in community
• Be known (vulnerability and honesty)

Move as an Invitation

As you move through today's intervals, let this become more than exercise.

Let it become a practice of receiving God's gaze.

You are not striving to be good. You are learning to believe what God already sees.

Keep moving. Stay present. And let yourself be seen.

Join Jennifer Allen for a movement experience designed to help you process life's challenges while staying connected to God's presence.

Through light interval pushes and thoughtful reflection, Jennifer explores the reality of suffering, grief, disappointment, and betrayal—and the comfort found in knowing that Christ meets us in the midst of it all.

Drawing from 2 Corinthians 1:5, you'll be reminded:

"For just as Christ's sufferings are ours in abundance... so also our comfort is abundant through Christ."

As you move, you'll reflect on how God doesn't waste pain. He joins us in it, comforts us through it, and can transform wounds into wisdom. Jennifer invites you to bring a difficult situation before the Lord, move at a pace that feels right for your body, and experience the companionship of Christ in the midst of suffering.

Come ready to move, reflect, and be reminded that God's promises run deeper than any circumstance. Your suffering is not wasted.

Join Alisa Keeton for an interval workout that invites you to move your body while reflecting on what it means to be fully known and fully loved by God.

Drawing from Mark 10:17–25, Alisa explores the difference between knowing about God's love and living in the security of His love. As you move through intervals, you'll consider what may be holding you back from deeper intimacy with Jesus and reflect on the journey from knowledge, to belief, to following.

This workout will encourage you to slow down, check in with your body and heart, and receive the loving gaze of Christ. Come ready to move, reflect, and be reminded that God's invitation is always rooted in love.

If you're moving, you're doing it right.

Life can feel heavy. Worry settles into our minds, tension finds its way into our bodies, and burdens quietly accumulate. In this gentle Scripture meditation, Alisa Keeton invites you to intentionally pause and place yourself in a posture of receiving.

As you settle into stillness, you'll be encouraged to notice where you're carrying weight, stress, or concern and welcome God into those places. This is a sacred invitation to say, "God, I need You. Come find me."

Meditating on Psalm 139:7–12, you'll be reminded that there is nowhere you can go beyond God's loving presence. He surrounds you with His wraparound care, hems you in on every side, and meets you right where you are. As He finds you, He brings peace, lightness, and the reassurance that you do not have to carry life's burdens alone.

Come as you are. Bring what hurts. Bring what feels heavy. God's presence is already near.

Anchor Scripture

"Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?" — Psalm 139:7–12

How to Use Be Still and Be Loved

Find a comfortable, quiet place and press play on this gentle biblical meditation. Allow Alisa Keeton to guide you through Scripture, prayer, and moments of stillness as you rest in God's presence and receive His love.

Why are bodies getting smaller while the pressure on women keeps getting bigger? In this honest conversation, Alisa explores the cultural history behind "skinny" and how thinness became more than a body type—it became a value system. From social media and celebrity culture to the rise of GLP-1 medications, she unpacks the modern obsession with shrinking ourselves and asks: how did we get here? For most of human history, thinness was not the ideal. Curvier bodies once represented wealth, health, abundance, and freedom from hard labor. So what changed? Alisa traces the major cultural shifts beginning in the 1700s, when thinness became tied to morality, status, control, and virtue through the influences of classicism, racism, and religious legalism. She also discusses how Enlightenment thinking separated people from their bodies—teaching us to live "from the head up" while distrusting the body God created. This episode isn't about health. It's about the spiritual and emotional roots beneath the desire to be smaller. Along the way, she explores why God delights in diversity. Creation itself reveals a Creator who loves variety—not uniformity. From ecosystems and landscapes to personalities, gifts, and bodies, God's design reflects abundance rather than sameness. What if body diversity wasn't a problem to solve, but part of God's good and intentional design? We also talk about:

• The intense pressure women face to stay thin
• The influence of social media and celebrity culture
• The growing normalization of GLP-1 medications
• How body ideals have changed throughout history
• Why God values diversity in His creation, including our bodies
• What the Bible actually says about gluttony
• Why behavior change without heart healing never lasts
• The spiritual chains hidden beneath body obsession

Most importantly, she asks the question that culture rarely asks: Who are you becoming? The gospel does not call us to become thinner versions of ourselves. It calls us to become more like Christ. While the world focuses on shrinking bodies, God is concerned with transforming hearts. Freedom begins when we stop measuring our worth by our appearance and start allowing Christ to form His character within us. At the root of every body struggle is a deeper question: What's happening in the heart that's driving the behavior? This episode is a call to a Body Reformation—a reformation of value and worth. The goal is not a smaller body, but a freer heart. Not conformity to culture, but transformation in Christ. Because the question that matters most isn't How do I look? But who am I becoming?

In this Walk + Talk episode, Aaron Brewer invites you to move your body while engaging with the Word of God and reflecting on what it truly means to love others well.

Lace up your shoes and bring your whole self—body, mind, and spirit—as Aaron keeps you company on your walk, run, or workout.

This is more than a podcast to listen to. It's one to experience.

A Question to Reflect On

As you move today, consider this:

Can someone belong with you before they believe like you?

How welcome would an unbeliever feel around you?

Would they sense openness? Curiosity? Compassion? Or would they feel pressure to perform, prove, or pretend?

Belonging Before Belief

Jesus consistently created space for people before they fully understood who He was.

He saw people. He walked with people. He welcomed people.

Today's conversation invites us to examine how we carry ourselves as followers of Christ—and whether our lives reflect the kind of welcome Jesus offered.

As You Move

Stay open. Stay honest. Notice what rises up in you as you reflect.

Where might God be expanding your compassion? Where is He inviting you to love more like Him?

Keep moving. Keep listening. And remember: sometimes belonging is the very thing that opens the door to belief.
