3 key truths when approaching faith, fitness and motherhood

Fitness and Motherhood in the Advent Season

"I just need to get through Christmas" The theme of moms around this time of year.... how did we get here?! The advent season should not be one of stress and anxiety but we sure have allowed it to become just that with overcrowded schedules, stretching ourselves financially, and letting worldly goals and resolutions for our health be what dominates this beutiful season. Let's talk about what is going on and how we can push back on what has become the "normal" around the holiday season so we can rest and be intentional in celebrating our coming Savior. Bible Verses Referenced: Romans 5:8: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 1 John 2:17: "The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever."

Postpartum through the eyes of the gospel

Postpartum is one of the most raw and physically daunting seasons a woman can endure! The common theme across the board is this season is too much for us to bear and we are at the mercy of a weak physical body and our sinful nature. The good news is there is HOPE. We are redeemed because of the blood of Jesus Christ. Let's dive into 3 key truths to remember in regards to the gospel covering us in our postpartum seasons. Bible Verses Referenced: 2 Corinthians 12:9: “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” Revelation 21:4-5: “There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.  He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Galatians 3:13: “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us” Romans 10:9: "if we confess Jesus as Lord and believe He rose from the grave, we will be saved” John 14:26: "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

Community in motherhood and fitness

We want to surround and immerse ourselves with community that is going to push us toward Jesus in ALL things and in every aspect of our lives.
