Wellbeing for Christian Women | Disordered Eating, Body Image, Following Jesus Not Diets

In this episode, I’m sharing a short communion message that reminds us of the richness and meaning behind the Lord’s table. Communion isn’t just a symbolic act or a mouthful of bread and juice - it’s a sacred meal that points us to the fullness we have in Christ. From the wedding at Cana and the feeding of the five thousand, to the early church’s Love Feasts, we see a God who fills, satisfies, and...

Striving often gets a bad rap – and for good reason. Many of us associate it with burnout, pressure, and performance. But what if not all striving is bad? In this episode, I explore the difference between striving in our own strength and striving with God. We look at Proverbs 14:4 – “Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean…” and how this earthy image invites us to embrace the mess that often...

If you’ve ever set out to read your Bible each day but ended up procrastinating, resisting it, then feeling guilty about it, you’re definitely not alone! In this episode, I’m opening up about the real struggles I faced with Bible reading – things like perfectionism, obligation, and not having a plan were some of the main culprits. I share practical strategies that helped me build a joyful, sustain...

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the topic of dreams – not the ones you have while sleeping, but the God-given dreams planted deep within your heart. Have you been dreaming with God lately? Or has life left you feeling stuck, dry, or disconnected from the desires He’s placed inside you? I’ll share some personal stories about the fresh dreams God’s been stirring in me (including one about st...

Vulnerability. It’s not something most of us find easy – but it’s essential to intimacy with God. In this episode, I share a personal story about a word I sensed from the Holy Spirit, reflect on the stories of Vashti and Esther, and explore the kind of strength that comes from choosing vulnerability – not just with people, but with God. I’ll talk about why being open with Him is not only safe but...

In this final episode of our series on rest, we’re diving into God’s original rhythm of Sabbath and asking a big question: Is it a sin not to Sabbath? We’ll trace Sabbath rest from Genesis to Hebrews and explore how it’s not just a day off, but a sacred invitation to trust God, reorder our hearts, and walk in step with Him. We’ll talk about why we resist rest, what faith has to do with Sabbath, an...

Ever found yourself lying awake, mind racing with what-ifs and replays of conversations? In this episode, I share a recent morning where unrest stirred my heart, and how the Lord gently revealed that beneath it all was the fear of man. We explore what Scripture says about this deeply human struggle and how misplaced fear can be a sign that our trust is misaligned. I open my journal and take you in...

Are you feeling overwhelmed, tired, or just worn out from the demands of life? You're not alone. In today’s honest and Spirit-led conversation, I share how the topic of rest unexpectedly became the heartbeat of these early podcast episodes. Drawing from Psalm 95 we explore what it means to enter his rest – not just as a theological idea, but as a lived experience in the middle of your real, everyd...

Ever felt like you're doing everything for everyone - and no one even notices? In this episode, we’re talking about resentment: how it shows up, where it hides, and why it often stems from over-functioning and anxiety. Through a personal story (yep, it got real) and a fresh look at Martha in Luke 10, we’ll explore what Jesus might be inviting us into instead - peace, presence, and permission to la...

In today’s episode, we’re exploring something we all crave but often struggle to find – real rest. What does it look like to rest in a way that actually restores your body, soul, and spirit? We’ll unpack the words of Jesus in Mark 6:30-31 and discover the secret ingredient to soul-renewing rest (hint: it’s simpler than you think!). I’ll let you in on the special spot where I meet with God each mor...

Feeling worn out? Here's what Jesus says about rest. In this episode, I’m diving into Matthew 11:28-30 and unpacking what it means to be “heavy laden” - not just with burdens, but even with good fruit. I share a personal story about a busy season that left me physically and emotionally exhausted, and how the Holy Spirit used the image of a fruit-laden tree to reveal a fresh perspective on rest. We...
