As we talk through this topic together, we name the tension we’ve both felt: wanting to lose weight while also craving real peace. We explore what we’ve believed weight loss would give us and what God actually says about those longings. Instead of rigid plans or giving up entirely, we look at how inviting God into our food choices, body image, and emotions brings a kind of freedom a number on the scale simply can’t. We share honestly about chasing thinness, the ache when affirmation fades, and the realization that even big changes in our bodies can’t fix the places only truth can heal. Romans 12:2 keeps us anchored in renewal, not performance.

We also talk about the two extremes we’ve seen in ourselves—obsession and apathy—and how the narrow road of stewardship brings clarity: caring for our bodies as God’s handiwork while letting identity rest securely in Christ. That shift changes everything, moving motivation from fear to love, from self-focus to worship, and from quick fixes to sustainable rhythms. We share simple mind-renewal tools we actually use: breath prayers that settle the body, prompts that expose unhelpful beliefs, and small daily check-ins that turn eating into an act of trust. We speak openly about programs, medications, and surgeries without shame, framing them as possible supports—but not substitutes—for a renewed mind. Our hope is to offer gentleness, clarity, and a path forward for anyone longing for food peace and kinder self-talk.

As we talk together, we share how movement has shifted from pressure to something much lighter—more like worship than work. Drawing from Acts 17:28 and Matthew 11:28–30, we open up about seasons of over-training, comparison, injury, cancer treatment, and the slow courage of recovery. Instead of chasing steps, calories, or performance, we describe what it’s been like to listen for God’s daily invitation: walk with Me, play with Me, or rest with Me. When love sets the rhythm, movement lifts us instead of wearing us down, and rest becomes renewal instead of something we feel guilty about.

We also reflect on how this shift changes our relationship with our bodies. Exercise becomes an expression of gratitude, rest becomes obedience that prepares us for the next step, and our worth no longer hinges on outcomes or appearance. We share practical ideas for spirit-led movement—prayerful walks, playful moments with kids or pets, gentle stretching, or breath prayers on days when energy is low. We even touch on neuroscience that supports these gentler rhythms: joyful movement calms the nervous system, improves clarity, and steadies emotions, while real rest fuels healing. Our hope is to offer freedom for anyone tired of fitness rules, comparison, or recovering from hard seasons.

What if your strongest cravings aren’t about food at all? As we talk through this topic together, we admit how often our cravings have nothing to do with actual hunger. We share openly about the ways we’ve reached for food, scrolling, or constant busyness when what our hearts really needed was comfort, truth, or simply God’s presence. We walk through the lies we’ve believed—“I deserve this,” “This will help,” “I’m on my own”—and how we’ve learned to exchange them for steadier promises: God is near to the brokenhearted, He satisfies the longing soul, and in Christ, we are never condemned.

We also get practical about what helps us in the moment: the “emergency kits” we each keep nearby—devotionals, warm tea, encouraging notes, different Bible translations, worship playlists, and written truth statements. We describe the mind-renewal practices that have genuinely helped us shift our focus: gratitude liturgy, praise moments that celebrate who God is, and simple prayers that invite the Holy Spirit into the empty spaces we used to fill with numbing. We share tender stories from seasons of care-giving, illness, and loss, and how grieving honestly—yet with gratitude—lightened the load. Our hope is to help you treat hunger with curiosity instead of panic, letting the Lord meet you right where you are.

Holiday gatherings can feel like emotional minefields, and we know how easy it is to slip into using food as a buffer when old wounds or tense dynamics resurface. In this episode, we talk honestly about how we’re learning to stop hiding behind food and instead respond with wisdom, calm, and compassion. We reframe emotional eating as a short-term comfort that limits long-term growth, and then share a practical toolkit we use ourselves: crafting truth lists that anchor identity, setting healthy boundaries, and deciding food choices ahead of time so we don’t collapse under decision fatigue. When tensions rise, we lean on simple breath prayers, quick pauses, and moments of presence that let grace shape our responses instead of our triggers.

We also walk through our “look and learn” practice—an honest, shame-free way to reflect after a gathering and carry forward what actually helped. Scripture grounds every step for us: Romans 12:18, Psalm 139, Proverbs 4:23, Isaiah 26:3, and Colossians 3:15 remind us that peace is possible, even in difficult dynamics. We share real stories of setting boundaries, planning supportive conversations, and checking in with God throughout the day. When we choose presence over perfection and truth over people-pleasing, both our relationships and our food choices align more closely with who we are in Christ.

Perfection cracks fast during the holidays—one party, one plate too many, one “I blew it” moment—and shame rushes in. In this episode, we take that story back. We talk about why God doesn’t turn away when we stumble with food, and how His Word re-frames failure through compassion and truth. Psalm 103 and Psalm 32 remind us that God meets us in honesty, not disappointment. We also look at Colossians 2 and Titus 2 to see that grace isn’t a pass—it’s a teacher. Grace trains us toward self-control and peace, not through rules, but through relationship with the One who knows our hearts.

We share our “holiday failure truth list” as a simple, powerful way to interrupt shame in real time: no condemnation in Christ, not disqualified by struggle, and this is not the end of the story. We walk through how to record your own truths, how to return to God quickly after a stumble, and how to learn from the moment without judgment. At the center of it all is identity—knowing who God is and who we are in Him changes everything. When we live from that truth, recovery comes faster, our choices grow gentler, and joy stretches far beyond the season.

The holidays can bring pressure from every side—food, family, spending, and the expectation to keep it all together. In this first episode of our Holiday Survival Guide series, we’re preparing our hearts before the holiday rush begins. Together, we’re learning to trade perfection and willpower for peace, presence, and a deeper connection with God. Instead of pushing through on autopilot, we’re asking better questions: What happens when we invite God into our expectations, our meals, and our emotions? How might a renewed mind shift the way we eat, love, and show up this season?

We also share five intentions of Spirit-led eating that act like gentle guideposts: waiting for true hunger, inviting God into every meal, choosing just-right portions, creating peaceful eating moments, and stopping at “just enough.” Along the way, we offer practical tools that actually fit real life—truth lists for gatherings, praise breaks in the car, and quick mind-renewal moments amid errands. Underneath it all is freedom: food is a gift, not a savior, and growth matters more than perfection. We’re practicing grace, “failing well,” and choosing the better feast—wisdom, peace, and joy that lasts long after the decorations come down.

Everywhere we look, someone is selling the next way to change our bodies. We slow down that noise and ask a better question: what does it look like for us to make weight-loss decisions with God at the center—not guilt, fear, or marketing hype? We talk through GLP-1 medications, intermittent fasting, bariatric surgery, and spirit-led eating, exploring the promises, pitfalls, and the steadier peace that comes from honest discernment. Tools aren’t villains or heroes, and the weight-loss industry often focuses on short-term outcomes. So we look at what research truly says about results and regain while also looking inward at motives—calling out shame, comparison, and the pressure to perform.

Anchored in Romans 12:2, we emphasize mind renewal as the path to lasting change—whether someone uses traditional diets, medication, surgery, or a gentler hunger-and-fullness approach. We share stories from our own journeys, along with five clarifying questions and a breath prayer for anxious moments: God, You know my heart… and I trust Your thoughts over mine. If you’ve felt pressure to chase outcomes, we invite you to join us in a calmer way forward—one grounded in wisdom, intimacy with Jesus, and daily choices we can trust.

What if peace with food doesn’t start with more rules but with a renewed mind and reordered love? In this episode, we sit on the porch and wrestle with a question many of us face: does focusing on mind renewal mean we get a free pass to eat anything, anytime? As we unpack Romans 12:2, Galatians 5:13, and Colossians 2, we talk about how real freedom grows—not from control or indulgence—but from connection. Together, we explore how intimacy with God reshapes our desires, how gratitude replaces shame, and how caring for our bodies can flow from wisdom instead of fear or striving.

We also bring this conversation down to earth—addressing diets, GLP-1 medications, and surgery without shame or judgment. No matter the path, the real invitation is to pause and ask, “God, what are Your thoughts about this for me?” With simple tools like a breath prayer—inhale, “Jesus, I want to know You,” exhale, “more than I want control”—we make space for Spirit-led choices that last. If your soul is weary from the tug-of-war between rules and rebellion, this episode offers rest, reflection, and a gentler way home.

In this episode, we wrestle with the question, “Is overeating a sin?” and talk about how God isn’t counting bites, but instead inviting our hearts to trust Him more. We look at what Scripture actually says about gluttony, condemnation, and freedom in Christ by drawing from Proverbs, Philippians, Romans 14, and Romans 8. Together, we share real-life moments—like enjoying too much food at a party or stress-eating after a hard day—and show how these don’t have to lead to shame. Instead, we encourage a posture of “look and learn,” asking honest questions like, “Am I seeking comfort in food or in God?”

We also share practical tools that help shift our focus from rules to relationship with God: building a God List from Scripture, throwing a quick praise fest to reset, practicing gratitude to move from scarcity to sufficiency, and using breath prayers to center our hearts. These rhythms are not about policing your plate, but about steadying your soul so you can notice God’s gentle leadership in each moment. Our hope is to help you trade guilt for grace and find freedom meal by meal.

In this episode, we ask an honest question: is the real issue about losing weight, or about why we want to lose it? We share personal stories—from the stage to the infusion center—about how numbers can become idols, how church culture sometimes mirrors the world’s standards, and how our bodies carry layered stories of illness, medication, and seasons of life. Together, we turn to Scripture for clarity: Romans 12:2 calls for renewal, not conformity; 1 Samuel 16:7 points us back to the heart over appearance; and 1 Corinthians 6 reframes ownership, not aesthetics.

We explore how  the size of your body or number on the scale can get treated like a virtue and shift the conversation to motives—stewardship instead of insecurity, service instead of striving. We offer reflection prompts, identity truths to replace shame, and practical ways to reframe body stewardship around peace and function rather than optics. With compassion, we name the complexity of real bodies shaped by trauma, treatment, and hormones, and remind one another that worth can’t be measured by a number. Our hope is to invite listeners into freedom—where the mind of Christ guides our goals and joy is no longer held hostage by a scale.

In this episode, we talk about how real change doesn’t begin with food rules or iron willpower, but with what’s happening in our minds before a craving even hits. We open Romans 12:2, Romans 8, and Colossians 2 to show how renewing the mind reshapes our desires at the root, breaking the old cycle of restriction, rebellion, and shame. Together, we share how God does the lasting work as we choose new thought patterns and take a gentler, steadier path toward freedom.

We also get very practical. We walk through identifying the thought before the craving, uncovering the belief behind the action, and using tools that meet real-life triggers like stress, comparison, or tough relationships. From the God List and quick Praise Fests to personalizing Scripture and using a Truth List, we show how to create new mental grooves that stick. With Look & Learn, we replace condemnation with curiosity, so stumbles become lessons. Our five-minute challenge helps you pause, renew your mind, and ask for God’s perspective in the moment—building a lifestyle of peace, clarity, and sustainable change.

What drives your everyday choices? For many of us, particularly when it comes to food and our bodies, the answer involves some combination of guilt, shame, comparison, and a desperate desire to measure up. We’ve spent years caught in cycles of dieting, comparison, and feeling like our bodies—and our choices—were never enough. Guilt and shame often drove what we ate or how we cared for ourselves, and deep down, we carried the heavy belief that God was disappointed in us. In this episode, we share how our perspective shifted when we began to see God’s true character: loving, kind, and full of delight in us. When we stopped trying to perform and instead leaned into His grace, our choices around food and self-care became acts of worship rather than burdens.

Together, we talk honestly about how moving from duty to delight changes everything—not just how we eat, but how we live. Instead of chasing perfection, we’ve learned to embrace practices like gratitude and praise that reframe even ordinary moments. This way of living brings freedom, joy, and a new sense of purpose. We hope you’ll join us in discovering how your body, your eating, and your daily choices can reflect God’s goodness—not because of what you accomplish, but because of who you belong to.

We’ve both known the heavy weight of shame—the kind that tells you not just that you’ve failed, but that you are a failure. In this episode, we open up about how shame has tried to define us and how God’s Word gives us a different story. Hebrews 12:2 shows us how Jesus “scorned” shame as He faced the cross, counting it insignificant compared to the joy before Him. That perspective gives us hope too. We talk about the different places shame comes from—our own mistakes, wounds from others, or lies we’ve believed—and how speaking truth to our souls, like the psalmist in Psalm 42–43, can break shame’s grip.

We also walk through a practical five-step process that’s been life-changing for us: bringing shame into the light, asking God to reveal its roots, confessing or releasing it, replacing the lies with His truth, and finally, praising Him for the exchange. We share real tools—like creating “truth lists” from Scripture and journaling exercises—that have helped us move from shame toward freedom. Our heart is for you to know this: shame doesn’t get the last word in your story. In Christ, you can exchange shame for joy, ashes for beauty, and captivity for freedom.

As we reflect on Peter’s story, we see ourselves in his struggle. He promised loyalty to Jesus, only to fail when the pressure rose. That moment of brokenness—when the rooster crowed and Jesus looked at him—reminds us of the times we’ve denied or distanced ourselves from God. But what grips us isn’t Peter’s failure; it’s Jesus’s response. After the resurrection, instead of rebuke, Jesus made breakfast on the shore. With each “Do you love me?” came not condemnation, but restoration. That same love and calling is offered to us, no matter how many times we’ve fallen.

For us, repentance isn’t about wallowing in shame, but turning back to love. The Greek word  "metánoia" points to a change of heart, a reorientation toward relationship, not self-punishment. Jesus’s kindness invites us out of regret and into renewed purpose. We’ve learned to “Look and Learn”—to bring our failures honestly before God, not to feel worse, but to experience restoration. Whatever burdens we carry, Jesus meets us like he met Peter—welcoming us back with compassion and reminding us we’re never too far gone.

When we hear the word “repentance,” many of us think of shame, guilt, or fear. But as we explored King David’s story in Psalm 51, we discovered something much different—repentance as an invitation into God’s love. David’s raw prayer after his failure with Bathsheba isn’t self-loathing, but a cry for God’s mercy and renewal. When he asks God to “create a clean heart,” he’s asking for something brand new, the same creative power we see in Genesis. That shows us repentance isn’t about behavior modification—it’s about God making us new.

We also looked at the word metánoia, which means a change of mind, and how Romans 2:4 reminds us that it’s God’s kindness that leads us to repentance. This truth frees us from fear and draws us into joy, intimacy, and restoration. Whether it’s struggles with food, relationships, or shame, repentance is not a detour but the way back to life. We invite you to walk this journey with us, practicing breath prayer, reflection, and learning to see repentance as God’s loving call home.

For years, we carried the heavy misunderstanding that repentance meant shame, guilt, and trying to punish ourselves into change. We even believed we could “hate ourselves into holiness,” but that never worked. Over time, God showed us the truth: repentance is not about condemnation—it’s about kindness and freedom. Romans 2:4 reminds us that it’s His kindness that draws us close, not fear or punishment. We’ve seen firsthand that when we turn back to Him, He runs to meet us like the father in the story of the prodigal son, arms wide open and full of compassion.

In this episode, we share how repentance looks in our own lives today. Christina opens up about her breast cancer journey and how God is inviting her to turn from fear toward His presence. Heidi reflects on letting go of her need to control everything and learning to rest in God’s love. Whatever your struggle—whether it’s food, health, or daily challenges—His invitation remains the same.

As hosts, we often find ourselves struggling to stay grateful in the middle of life’s demands, just like many of our listeners. In this episode, we share how simple practices helped us redirect our focus from stress to thankfulness. Heidi tells of a family trip filled with illness and rainy weather, yet gratitude turned it into a treasured memory. Christina opens up about caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s, discovering that thankfulness could lift her anxious thoughts and anchor her in moments of joy.

We also explore creative ways to keep gratitude front and center—like using “gratitude triggers,” visual reminders, or habit stacking to weave thankfulness into daily routines. Beyond personal growth, we reveal how gratitude can transform relationships, even before tough conversations. Biblical examples show us how a steady practice of thanksgiving can lead to a deeper awareness of God’s gifts. We challenge listeners to try just two simple practices over the next week and see how joy naturally follows gratitude.

In this episode, we dive into what we call The Great Gratitude Reset. We talk about how gratitude isn’t just a nice feeling—it’s a daily practice that changes our minds, our health, and our spiritual outlook. Science is finally confirming what the Bible has been saying all along: gratitude reduces anxiety, strengthens our bodies, helps us rest better, and gives us resilience during tough seasons. We’ve both seen this in our own lives. Christina shares how gratitude keeps her grounded throughout her cancer journey, while Heidi shares how practicing thankfulness sustains her as she walks alongside a close friend in illness. Gratitude has become more than a concept for us—it’s been a lifeline.

We also share some very practical ways to begin, even if gratitude feels out of reach. One of our favorites is the “Lord I love” exercise, which is as simple as naming small things—like trees, a gentle touch, or even probiotic gummies—and letting those small steps open the door to bigger ones. This isn’t about shallow positivity or empty affirmations. It’s about anchoring ourselves in God’s goodness and allowing His perspective to shape ours. Romans 12 reminds us that our minds are renewed in Him, and gratitude is a key part of that renewal. We invite you to try these practices with us and see how even the smallest acts of thankfulness can reset your heart and perspective.

In this final episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we share a freeing truth—you are not a project to fix, but a masterpiece in progress, fully loved right where you are. We talk about the difference between “project thinking” and surrender, and how God isn’t our impatient project manager but a loving Father who completes His work in His timing. Through breath prayers, visualizations, and personal stories, we invite you to replace shame’s critical voice with the joy-filled song God sings over you, as promised in Zephaniah 3:17.

We also unpack the richness of “shalom”—wholeness where nothing is missing and nothing is broken—and how it offers rest when shame tries to push us into striving. This journey isn’t about quick fixes, but deep renewal through God’s truth.

In this third episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we’re looking at failure through a new lens—what if it’s not the end of your story, but the soil where growth begins? We know how shame loves to twist our stumbles into statements about our worth. But there’s another voice—the voice of grace—that says, “Let’s start again. I still trust you.” We share how our own mess-ups have become moments of mercy, and how Jesus, like He did with Peter, meets us not with rejection, but restoration.

We also talk about boundaries—not as punishment, but as protection for what matters. From Proverbs 4:23, we uncover the idea of guarding what’s precious, and how setting limits can help us walk in freedom. Whether it’s resting, resisting unhealthy comforts, or filtering what voices we allow in, boundaries help create space for peace. And when we stumble, our “Look and Learn” tool helps us ask the right questions, process with God, and move forward with honesty and hope. We’re not striving for perfection—we’re learning to walk with Him, right in the middle of the mess.

In this second episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we’re digging into those nagging whispers—“you’re too much” or “you’re not enough”—that have shaped so much of how we see ourselves. But what if those labels never came from God? Starting with His question in Genesis 3:11, “Who told you that…?” we invite you to reflect with us on the origin of shame and how to gently dismantle it. Through our own stories and Scripture, we discover that we’re not broken projects—we’re God’s poema from Ephesians 2:10: His intentional, beautiful workmanship.

We also introduce practical tools like breath prayers, guided exercises, and we bring back a tried and true approach called “Look and Learn”—a five-question framework that helps us respond to failure with grace, not guilt. Instead of spiraling into shame, we’re learning to get curious, notice our thoughts, and bring in truth. If the voice inside sounds more like a bully than our Shepherd, it’s time to challenge it. Join us as we continue the journey of replacing old lies with God’s words of peace and purpose.

In this first episode of our four-part series, we open up about the quiet yet powerful voice of shame that often whispers when we look in the mirror. From body image struggles to deeply rooted family messages, we share our own stories and trace the roots of shame all the way back to the Garden of Eden. But we don’t stop there—together, we explore the hope that comes when we realize Jesus carried not just our sin, but our shame too.

This episode isn’t just about identifying the problem—it’s about offering real tools for healing. We walk through practices like The God List, Praise Fests, and breath prayers that have helped us trade shame-filled lies for truth-filled peace. You’ll hear the difference between conviction and shame, and we’ll help you reclaim your reflection as a sacred space.

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I just don’t feel like it,” even when something really matters? We have too. In this episode, Heidi shares a game-changing realization: if we wait for motivation to magically show up, we might stay stuck. But when we make choices based on our values—especially our identity in Christ—something shifts. We explore what it means to stop letting feelings drive the bus and start acting from a place that’s rooted and true.

This conversation gets real as we share honest struggles and simple tools that help us move forward, even when emotions push back. From the “first thought, second thought” approach to a quick values-check practice, we offer a framework that helps you pause, reflect, and take action that aligns with who you really are. It’s not about forcing yourself through life—it’s about recognizing that motivation often follows movement, especially when that movement starts from your core values.

In this final episode of our three-part series The Real Thing, we talk about something we often resist—God’s holy disruptions. Using the story of Zacchaeus, we explore how Jesus didn’t just stop by for a visit, but invited him into something lasting. The word used is meno—to abide—and it changes everything. This wasn’t about tweaking a few behaviors; it was an invitation to step out of hiding and into real relationship.

This was a difficult conversation to have. We share honestly about the struggle of letting go of control and embracing God’s interruptions, including a tender story about a dog named Sevy. From the bleeding woman to Saul’s blinding light, we reflect on how Jesus often disrupts before He restores. With breath prayers and practical tools, we invite you to consider where He might be gently disrupting your own “almost” life.

In Part 2 of our three-part series The Real Thing, we talk about the "almosts"—those things we turn to for comfort that feel close to peace but never quite satisfy. Whether it’s late-night snacks, comparison, or performance, we’ve both reached for substitutes that ultimately leave us thirsty. Drawing from Jeremiah 2:13 and Isaiah 44, we unpack the imagery of broken cisterns and burned-out ashes, asking: Why do we keep trying to feed on what no longer gives life?

This conversation isn’t just about recognizing what’s not working—it’s about learning to receive what is. We share stories from our own lives and invite you into a reflective process using breath prayers and simple journaling prompts. What are the places in your life that feel like “almosts”? What would it look like to trade those in for the living water Jesus offers? Join us on this honest journey towards something real—because you weren’t made to settle for almost.
