Book 1: The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne Stabile

Quotes about the Enneagram and self discovery within the realm of God:

“Once you know the dark side of your personality, simply give God consent to do for you what you’ve never been able to do for yourself, namely, bring meaningful and lasting change to your life.”

“The Enneagram doesn't put you in a box. It shows you the box you're already in and how to get out of it.”

“How, as John Calvin put it, “without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.”

“The good news is we have a God who would know our scrawny butt anywhere. He remembers who we are, the person he knit together in our mother’s womb, and he wants to help restore us to our authentic selves.”

Book 2: The Growth Mindset Ninja by Mary Nhin

“Of all things lost and gained, the courage to repent might just be the most significant for me”(182).

“One wise choice can lead to two, can lead to three, can lead to a thousand, can lead to the sweet place of utter dependence on God and lasting discipline” ( 175).

Title: “The Freedom Ride - Finding freedom where boundaries are understood ”

Total time: 25:51

Release date: July 5th, 2021

Hashtags: #freedomfromdiets  #beintentional #spiritualjourney #boundaries

Summary:

Do you check boxes to reach goals? Are you a rule follower? Or do you do whatever you want because life is short, or God has saved you and given you Grace? The lives of legalism and license are dangerous to both our relationships with God and anything or anyone else. Life is made to have balance. Although the term “boundary” may be off-putting, it is what God has given us to live our best lives. God created boundaries for us out of love. Listen to hear about the freedom from legalism and license can set your life free in a way you never knew existed.

You’ll hear:

• How your spiritual journey is like riding a horse: Your destination is always moving toward God
• The difference between legalism and license in reference to the Bible & Christ
• The difference between legalism and license in reference to the world of diets
• Checking boxes in terms of rules and guidelines in Christianity & nutrition can create an unrealistic reality of your relationship with God & yourself
• Just because we can, doesn’t mean that we should
• The middle ground of legalism and license is boundaries

Some questions Danielle addresses on the show:

• What are legalism and license? 
• Are you a “box-checker” in terms of your relationship with Christ? With your relationship with your body?
• Do you really love Christ if you are going out and doing all the fleshly acts and treating your relationship with Him like crap?
  

Call to Action: Assess your relationship with God. What are the boundaries he has created out of love for you? What do they look like? Then, assess your relationship with yourself. Are you setting boundaries for yourself to be healthy both physically and mentally? How are the two of those relationships similar?  In the comments of this post, please share any interesting revelations that are helpful. 

Scripture mentioned:

Believer’s Freedom in 1 Corinthians 10:23

“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive.

Galatians 5:13

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Hashtags: #persistance #change #goodhabits #Grit #growthmindset 

Summary:

Each month Danielle is going to recommend a book for you and a book for your kids and explain how the books can enhance your life. This month Danielle focuses on books that discuss perseverance, Grit, growth mindset for adults and kids alike.

You’ll hear:

• The power of reading to nourish your mind - How life examples and research can motivate you to keep going
  
• About books that deal with the focus on learning from failures and setbacks to be successful and gritty.
  
• About Danielle’s experience reading Grit by Angela Duckworth & its research that leads to tips to develop long-lasting Grit

Book 1: Grit, Angela Duckworth

• Quotes about grit and growth: “No one wants to show you the hours and hours of becoming. They’d rather show you the highlight of what they’ve become.”
  
• “‘It’s about the in-the-moment self-awareness without judgement, [Terry Laughlin} continued. “It’s about relieving yourself of the judgement that gets in the way of enjoying the challenge.’”
  
• “Grit depends on a different kind of hope. It rests on the expectation that our own efforts can improve the future. I have a feeling tomorrow will be better  is different from I resolve to make tomorrow better. The hope that gritty people have has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with getting up again.”

Book 2: Rosie Revere, Engineer, Andrea Beaty

• “Your brilliant first flop was a raging success! Come on, let's get busy and on to the next!" She handed a notebook to Rosie Revere, who smiled at her aunt as it all became clear. Life might have its failures, but this was not it. The only true failure can come if you quit.”

Summary: Change takes time. Consistency and discipline take time. We are halfway through the year and we can always use some time to settle down and re-evaluate our daily habits, our dreams, and what we can do to keep going. There are three practices that can help us help ourselves. We can align our spiritual and physical journeys and glad closure to God when we visualize, apply a method of accountability, and pray.

You’ll hear:

• About aligning your spiritual and physical goals with Biblical meaning
• That cherry picking scripture is never good for anyone
• Focusing on the ways you can nourish your body
• “Doing good” is subjective
• How practicing visualization, accountability, and prayer can keep you from quitting
• Visualizing the outcome of your goal isn’t always the best 
• Accountability saves people from giving up
• “Life without prayer is like running a vacuum over your carpet and turning around and realizing it’s unplugged.”
  

Some questions Danielle addresses on the show:

• What is “doing good” in a health journey?
• Have you quit?

Scripture mentioned:

• Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

• Romans 8: 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
• Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Earlier, I went live and I read a little from A Whole & Nourished Life, a 6 week devotional I wrote and published earlier this year. I felt called to share the beginning of the book with you because it means so much to me. This podcast includes my reading of the introduction and the first day of the six weeks of devotions.  You'll get a sneak peak of the first discussion questions for the reading as well.  My hope is that after you hear these words you will want to spend more time learning about how your relationship with God and your relationship with your body are connected.
