Can We Talk About Why We Neglect the Bodies God Gave Us?

Can We Talk About Why We Neglect the Bodies God Gave Us?

Can we talk about something? I think somewhere along the way, we've accidentally separated our faith from our health. We pray for more energy, more time, more discipline, and for God to use us in bigger ways… but we often neglect the very body He gave us to carry out that purpose. And no, I don't believe God cares about your health because He wants you to look a certain way. I believe He cares because He loves you. In this episode, we're talking about why your health is so much bigger than weight loss, why taking care of yourself isn't vanity, and how stewardship, consistency, and honoring your body can actually be an act of obedience. Because God didn't create our bodies to be worshipped… but He also didn't create them to be ignored. We'll talk about the pressure to be perfect, how diet culture has distorted our perspective, and why sustainable habits matter more than extreme transformations. Most importantly, I want to remind you that taking care of yourself isn't selfish. It's stewardship. In this episode, we talk about: • why God cares about your health • why health is bigger than weight loss • how your body is part of your purpose • why consistency matters more than perfection • how diet culture has distorted our view of health • why taking care of yourself is an act of stewardship, not vanity If you've been struggling to prioritize yourself, this is your reminder that your health matters—not because of how you look, but because of the life you've been called to live. Your body is part of your purpose. And maybe taking care of yourself isn't about changing your body at all. Maybe it's about honoring the life you've been given.

Hey You — This Leprosy Is Not Your Legacy

Hey you… this leprosy is not your legacy. That phrase hit me deeply after hearing it in a sermon because for so long, I allowed other people’s opinions, labels, and perceptions of me to shape how I saw myself. I believed what people said about me. I carried shame from past mistakes. And I started identifying with old versions of myself that God was trying to heal me from. But just because you’ve gone through something doesn’t mean it’s supposed to define the rest of your life. In this episode, I’m talking about letting go of the labels people placed on you, breaking free from the shame tied to your past, and learning how to stop carrying an identity that God never intended for you to keep wearing. Your struggle is not your identity. Your mistakes are not your future. And what hurt you does not get to name you forever. This leprosy is not your legacy.

Let's Talk About What Happens After the Mountaintop

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to feel close to God, inspired, motivated, and excited when you're at a conference, retreat, church event, race weekend, or surrounded by people who are pushing you forward? But then you come home. The event ends. The excitement fades. The routine returns. And suddenly you're left wondering how to carry everything you experienced back into everyday life. In this episode, I'm sharing some thoughts I've been processing after returning home from Summer Smash and why I think so many of us spend our lives chasing mountaintop moments instead of allowing God to transform us in the ordinary days. Because the truth is, the event isn't what changes your life. What you do when you get home does. We're talking about motivation, discipline, emotional highs, spiritual growth, and why God isn't just present in the exciting moments—He's present in the quiet, ordinary ones too. If you've ever come back from a trip, conference, retreat, church camp, race, or major life experience feeling inspired but unsure how to carry it forward, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we talk about: • why we become addicted to motivation and inspiration • the difference between emotional highs and real transformation • why growth happens after the event ends • how to steward what God teaches you in mountaintop moments • finding God in ordinary, everyday life Sometimes we're so busy looking for the next breakthrough that we forget to live out the last one. Maybe the next season of growth isn't found at another event. Maybe it's found in what you do when you get home. If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs it.

Hey You — Are You Following God, or Expecting Him to Follow You?

Hey you… are you truly following God, or are you asking Him to follow the life you already planned out for yourself? A lot of us say we trust God, but deep down we still expect Him to bless our timeline, our plans, and our version of how life is supposed to go. Then when things don’t work out the way we wanted, we become frustrated, disappointed, confused, or even angry at God. But what if the problem isn’t that God failed you? What if He’s simply not following a plan He never created in the first place? In this episode, I’m talking about surrender, control, disappointment, and the uncomfortable reality that following God sometimes means letting go of the version of life we thought we wanted. Because real faith isn’t asking God to walk behind your plans. It’s trusting Him enough to follow wherever He leads. If you’ve been frustrated with where life is going lately, maybe this is your reminder that God sees a bigger picture than you do. And maybe where He’s leading you is better than where you were trying to go on your own. If this episode spoke to you, send it to someone who needs it.

Hey You — Why Do We Trust Planes More Than God?

Hey you… isn’t it crazy how easily we trust a plane to take us somewhere we’ve never been, but we struggle to trust God with our lives? We’ll book flights, pack our bags, and confidently travel to places we’ve never seen before without fully understanding how we’re getting there. But the moment God starts leading us into unfamiliar territory, we panic, overthink, doubt ourselves, and start questioning everything. In this episode, I’m talking about trust, fear, uncertainty, and why so many of us are tempted to give up the moment life feels unclear or uncomfortable. Just because you can’t see the full picture doesn’t mean God isn’t leading you somewhere beautiful. If you’ve been feeling discouraged, exhausted, or unsure about where your life is headed, I hope this episode reminds you that faith was never about having all the answers — it was about trusting God enough to keep going anyway. You don’t need the full map. You just need to trust the One guiding you. If this episode spoke to you, send it to someone who needs it.
