Get F.I.T. in Faith: “The Courage to Live Free.”

Today's episode is about finding the courage to move forward from past mistakes and obstacles and toward a future of abundance. We must silence the background noise of our minds and trust God, hearing, listening, and obeying.

Jesus is our example of breaking free from sin, shame, and guilt. Let's live free!

23.26 Get FIT in Marriage “You Have a Supernatural Advantage”

23.26 Get FIT in Marriage “You Have a Supernatural Advantage”

Today's episode encourages wives to fight for their marriages and seek guidance from the Holy Spirit. You have a supernatural advantage in the Holy Spirit.

I urge you to "Get F.I.T." in your marriage and not give up, as marriage can be challenging. Still, the Holy Spirit can help navigate you toward forgiveness, reconciliation, healing, and marital success.

Your spouse is not your enemy, and there is a real adversary. Stay vigilant, fight for your marriage, and pray for your partner. Let's have faith in God and stay Focused, Intentional, and Tenacious.
With God, all things are possible!

23.25 Get F.I.T. in Faith: “Freeing You from YOU.”

23.25 Get F.I.T. in Faith: “Freeing You from YOU.”

In this episode, my intention is to motivate you to break free from yourself!

Often times, we tend to be overly critical of ourselves, which prevents us from progressing and causes us to self-sabotage. We also tend to imprison ourselves with guilt and shame. However, Christ's death has given us the gift of freedom!

Today, I urge you to let go of these negative thoughts and view yourself in the way that God sees you. According to God's Word, you are chosen, God's masterpiece, and created for a purpose. It's time to focus on the positive and only speak what God says about you.

Are you ready to "Get F.I.T." in God's Word?

23.24. Get F.I.T. in Faith: “Make a Decision.”

23.24. Get F.I.T. in Faith: “Make a Decision.”

In this episode, I want to encourage you to "Make a Decision."
If you're uncertain and need direction, "Get F.I.T." by being Focused, Intentional, and Tenacious in pursuing God and studying the scriptures. Remember, if God is on your side, who can be against you?

In the story of the 4 Lepers from 2 Kings 7: 4-8, we see how God intervenes when they decide to take action instead of giving up. What must you do to "get up" and move forward?

Are you ready to take action?

Ep. 23.22. Get F.I.T. Family: "I am My Child."

Ep. 23.22. Get F.I.T. Family: "I am My Child."

Welcome to today's unedited episode! I'm serving it to you raw.

During a conversation with one of my sons, I had a realization that "I am My Child." Have you ever been in a situation where you were disciplining or discussing something with your child and, in that exact moment, the Holy Spirit reminded you to take your own advice? It happened to me, and later, the situation came full circle. 

I want to encourage you that it's okay to take your own good advice. Are you ready? 

Let's focus on getting "F.I.T." in our Faith, Family, and all aspects of fitness.

23.19 “Conquering the Thought-Life”

Your body is comprised of (3) parts. Body, the outward man, which includes sense, taste, and smell. Soul - all your emotions interacting through flesh (joy, fear, sadness, etc.) Spirit - balance between good and evil. (Your spirit never dies.) What you feed dominates. Today, we discuss how to dominate in the spirit to “conquer the thought-life.” Psalm 119:165; Isaiah 32:18; 2 Corinthians 10L1-5;

Let’s not just celebrate but invite the Holy Spirit into our parenting, mothering process. He knows the “best pathway” to raising our children in the Lord.
