Motherhood as Discipleship: Stephanie Joy Lasota on Parenting, Fitness, and Wholeness

Episode Summary
In this heartfelt conversation, Coach Alex sits down with Stephanie Joy Lasota—Certified Revelation Wellness Instructor, wife, and mom of two—to explore how motherhood, discipleship, and fitness intersect in the Christian life.

Stephanie shares her journey from wandering in New Age spirituality to being born again during a yoga retreat, and how God has transformed her perspective on the body, worship, and daily discipleship.

Together, they discuss why motherhood is the most relentless and rewarding form of discipleship, how parents can model emotional regulation for their children, and why the church must reclaim the truth that the body is not a burden but a temple of the Holy Spirit.

Whether you’re raising kids, wrestling with feelings of being “too broken,” or longing to see your health as worship, this conversation will encourage you to see your body as a gift, your parenting as a ministry, and your daily life as a place of discipleship.
