Why should Christian women who want to live for Jesus consider their health? Why do most people struggle with their health? 

Today’s conversation is all about healthy living all through a Biblical mindset.

Today on the show, I’m joined my Chrissy Evans who is the wife to Heath Evans, former NFL player and analyst; a mother; and a business owner, who after losing 150 pounds became passionate about helping women break free from diet culture, weight loss gimmicks, and modern feminism’s false promises. She loves encouraging women to honor God with their bodies marriages and families.
