Today's episode is for the fit sister in Christ who needs that extra push and encouragement to stop letting self-sabotage keep her from reaching her fitness and health goals, God's way, and to let her know that she is not alone.

The amazing news is that we have a loving Father and a living Savior who journeys with us in every step. He wants us to be free. He will help make a way.

I pray this episode inspires your heart and fires up your soul to seek the Lord in regards to areas in your fitness and health where you are sabotaging God's best for you. Jesus died for you to overcome and thrive. You can today! You can do hard things through Christ!

Thank you from my heart for listening. Please share this podcast and episode with other winning warrior women, like you! Please help me get this message out to the masses. 🙏 ❤️

Do you struggle with loving your body in a way that honors Jesus? How can we break free from old patterns, thoughts, and behaviors so we may rewrite our healing stories with the Lord?

Today on the show, with my AMAZING, special guest, we’ll be addressing these questions candidly. It is God who brings dark things to light so we may truly be healed and walk in freedom in Christ!

Gina is an author, speaker, and therapist, specializing in trauma. And, she wholeheartedly loves the Lord. She will boldly tell you: "Jesus and therapy changed my life!" We met a couple of years ago on an airplane (a Divine “God connection”), and I am so very blessed to have her back on the podcast, and to be able to bring this episode to you, for such a time as this!

—————
Questions to take before the Holy Spirit and ask —

1. What was I taught to believe about my body, preferably at a young age?
2. Do I recall any comments that were made about my body or the food that I ate or whether I exercised or didn’t? Was any of that tied to my worth?
3. Was I praised or criticized for how I looked?
4. Was I praised or criticized for my performance in sports, dance or gymnastics? How was that related to my personal feeling of acceptance?
5. How did I hear mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, an older sibling (or other close relative) refer to their own bodies?
6. How did my parent’s talk about each others body?
7. What was I taught about food and exercise growing up? What did I learn?

*Write down your God-best version of yourself and your fitness and health. What does that look like to you?

*What does God say about your body, health and fitness, and your worth?

Scriptures to Encourage You -

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:14

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare, and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” Jeremiah 29:11

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love. 1 John 4:18

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Ephesians 3:19

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, a sound mind, and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
