Shine with Frannie Show | Christian midlife women | Christian health | Freedom & Breakthrough

Christmas is not just a once-a-year-celebration, just like our health isn't! This is an everyday opportunity to shine His light and glorify Our Father with our daily commitments to steward what He's entrusted to us: our bodies! Let's channel the excitement of the season with a fitness WORDout! Yep, you read that right. This month's fitness challenge incorporates various exercises assigned to lette...

Advent is officially here, and what a blessed time this is to draw near to God and experience Him in newfound ways. But the busyness, noise, and distractions of life--especially this time of year--deafen our ability to hear His still small voice.  As we embark upon this Advent season, I invite you to tune into this 4-part-series and in turn, discern what God is speaking uniquely to you. You m...

Eating is an intimate experience, and that is why we see Jesus "breaking bread" with many people in the Bible. Jesus desires a relationship with you, and He wants to be a part of your meal for more than just the blessing at the beginning.  in today's episode, I share a number of scriptures and reflection points to consider as you enter this season characterized by food (and often overindulgen...

As we enter this season of giving, it is important to check your motivations (and expectations). In today's episode I share some introspective questions to reflect upon as to help you discover your intention for giving. You may be surprised what God reveals and the serving of humble pie He might dish out to help you get to the root of your giving. Dive in further on your own by exploring these scr...

For years, I tried to lose weight using a number of methods. Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Hydroxycut, Jeunqiue wafers, Phen-Phen, and I even considered wiring my mouth shut. But it was once the pain of staying where I was surpassed the pain it would take to make the changes to be healthy, I was able to begin the 20+ years of discovery and wellness.  Soon into my journey, the Holy Spirit reve...

Not everything that is changed can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is identified! In today's episode we identify areas where you may have sidestepped God's best, but then we begin the healing process with 3 F words that can lead to freedom from toxic patterns and living. I pray this blesses you, dear one. If so, please share it with others on social so we can share the Good News an...

Long-term weight loss is not a "weigh" of the world. (I love a good pun!) That's because all too often people jump on a trending fad diet or program or even have a medical procedure which does not address the root of the problem--the mind.  In Greek, the word soul=psyche, which is a powerful tool in addressing and assessing how one looks, relates and consumes food. So while I may be leading a...

November health challenge is here: 5 days/2 moves/50 reps & 50 seconds! Well, Halloween marks the official start of the holiday season, and we are closely approaching Thanksgiving. As an opportunity to GIVE God our time to commit our health to His hands, this month's health challenge is "Giving & Gaining"--not gaining weight, but gaining a closer relationship with God as you pray your way...

Not everyone had Cliff and Clare Huxstable as parents, and even if you did, you may have needs that went unmet. Whether you had a dad at home or not, you still may have traits of an orphan spirit.  All too often daddies don't know how to emotionally connect with their kiddos, so you may compensated for the lack of emotional connection you craved (and were designed for by Our Heavenly Father);...

You may have heard the expression,  "Not everything can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless it is known."  So instead of burying the root of orphan spirit again and again with painful vices that never fill the hole in our heart designed for Our Father's love, you must identify the spirit, call it as it is, and run full steam ahead to confront it. Once you reveal it and confront...

The enemy has been scheming since his fall from heaven to go after Christ ambassadors, and he will stop at nothing--even so much as targeting  children. As we dive into the story of Jesus' birth, we see how King Herod was threatened by the King of the Jews and sentenced all boys under age 2  to death. This pattern has continued through the centuries and likely made its way into your home...

We've all had some seasons of rebellion--unfortunately I seem to cycle into those seasons more often than I'd like. But the spirit of rebellion is human--but it is not how we are called to live.  From as far back as the Garden of Eden, rebellion has been a part of humankind. In today's episode we follow Jonah's journey and learn from his life how to turn from our rebellious spirit and return...

The enemy studies us and knows our area of weakness. Then he torments that area over time with different disguises. This causes us to question our identity and ultimately God.  This separates us from Our Father's love and from sharing and receiving love of others.  Dear sister--if this resonates with you, message me to see how I might be able to support you on your journey as you seek to...

No matter your family dynamic, God called you to become His child--adopted, cherished, loved and treasured!  In today's episode I lay the foundation for discovering and healing the orphan spirit that many of us experience. Grab your notebook, because it's about to get real in here!  And, did you hear?! The Come Alive retreat is available through LIVE attendance and now a virtual option,...

It's my birthday month! And I don't know about you, but I LOVE celebrating my birthday (actually I love celebrating E V E R Y D A Y!) So let's have a party--a party to get healthier, stronger, and more confident using God's Word. In honor of celebrating my 46th year around the sun, we are diving into Psalm 46. Tune into today's episode to hear about the 3-part health challenge to help you enJOY th...

To be healthy and whole spirit, mind and body, you must of course consider the foods you eat, but more importantly the emotions that eat you  contribute to or contaminate your health even more than a bag of Doritos or box of Goobers. I pray this blesses you, sister. If so, feel free to connect with me: frannie@shinewithfrannie.com  Also, if you are trying to break life-long cycles and pa...

Tune in, then get movin'! I pray this blesses you, sister. If so, I might be a person to come along side of you and guide you through other issues that may be keeping you  from living...

I loved Coke Zero. I loved Fresca. I used these little fizzy treats to curb my afternoon sweet fix. What I realized is that no matter the bevvie of choice, it was a false filler. Diet sodas could never fill me up--but when I realized that I was full of myself--which was in fact full of God's goodness, mercy, love, kindness, and more--I learned that I was FILLED to full to OVERFLOW! Tune in to hear...

Love is the root of sin--love of money, power, fame, sex, food, alcohol, ____ (you fill in the blank). These sins influence our lives and lead us to live under The Law.  But thankfully for Jesus, we get to live by the Spirit and can plant seeds of LOVE to lead to the fruit of the Spirit! Tune in today!

Over the years, I've had speeding tickets as a result of my impatience. I hate red lights and get easily frustrated with slow drivers.  But what I've learned is that you can use the time at red lights to get ready! Yes, I've actually perfected putting makeup on driving to work at the red lights along the way. Similarly, God can use red lights to slow us down and experience His preparation pow...

I pray that Daniel's story inspires you to throw kindness like confetti everywhere you go. I pray this blesses you, sister. If so, I might be a person to come along side of you and guide you through other issues that may be keeping you  from living fully, freely and healthfully. You see, as a Christian health coach, I help women get set free from toxic behaviors and patterns that are impactin...

Happy New Year! I am so excited to introduce you to my friend, Michele Weiss, a devout Orthodox Jewish friend, who debriefs us about special traditions to commemorate Rosh Hashanah--the Jewish New Year! Michele shares about this holiday and tells her conversion story from being reformed to an Orthodox during her high school years. I also ask some questions about the Jewish religion in general and...

As believers we receive the gift of salvation--thank you, Jesus--but we often leave the gifts of the Holy Spirit (AKA FRUIT) unopened. Until today! It's time to open those gifts and activate them! In today's episode of the Shine with Frannie Show, I share 5 ways to activate and strengthen your self-control muscles! Annnnndddd how could I have forgotten?!??! Our Come Alive retreat is on the horizon...

So alongside of many of you, I walked and worshiped the walls down the entire month of August--7 minutes of silence each and every day. But guess what? The walls didn't come down like I hoped. And I know this is true for many of you. But we mustn't lose heart, sister friend! Instead we must put our big girl panties on and keep pressing into hope that God is almighty and omniscient and He is workin...

Have you ever thrown in towel on your health routine when you weren't seeing the results you've hoped? Or maybe you saw the results then reverted back to "business as usual"?  In today's episode I share 3 practical tips rooted in scripture to help you press through when you want to quit. I pray this blesses you, sister. If so, I invite you to participate in the upcoming FIT (Freedom in Truth)...
