There are a lot of places that can help you train your body… But this space is about renewing your mind, spirit, and relationships too. So if you're local, join us for our July Healtheology Session! We’re exploring what Scripture says about mental wellness, wisdom, thought patterns, and the power of renewing our minds in God (not the world) Because the truth is… - What you believe shapes what you think. - What you think shapes what you feel. - What you feel shapes what you do. And what you do shapes your reality. That’s why the enemy works so hard to attack our minds with anxiety, distraction, shame, comparison, negativity, and fear. But we’re learning Jesus actually offers a different *smarter* way… “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” — Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ Sounds pretty nice, right? Together, we’ll move our bodies, breathe deeply, pray, reflect on Scripture, and practice replacing spiraling thoughts with God’s Truth. This is not about perfect fitness. It’s about becoming healthier in our minds, bodies, relationships, and spirits so we can better love God and love others. - Tuesday, July 14 - 7:00–8:30 PM - COMMUNITY Christian Church – Downers Grove Please bring: • Fitness mat • Water bottle • Bible Come as you are. All levels encouraged & welcome.

This week, I’m sharing something a little different: 5 Biblical Wellness fails from my actual week. 😅 Including the moment I realized I had checked my abs before I checked my heart. I was feeling puffy. Judging myself in photos. Skipping travel workouts. Struggling to rest. And yes… even putting Doritos on my salad. 😂 So this week’s message digs into 1 Samuel 16:7 and what it teaches us about: - Health - Biblical Wellness - Christian body image - And what God is actually looking at. Because while the world trains us to constantly check the outside... God keeps inviting us to check the heart. 🩵 🎥 Watch Episode 72 on YouTube + subscribe so you don’t miss the weekly Biblical Wellness conversation: https://youtu.be/yJ1jfxVeu9A?si=w0c_--8gEoh9wUe_ 📖 Read the Substack + subscribe for a free Biblical Wellness resource delivered every week: https://open.substack.com/pub/wholehardy/p/i-checked-my-abs-before-i-checked?r=1w211n&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true Choose your favorite way to consume it—or be an overachiever and do both. 😉 Drop a 🩵 below if you’re checking your heart before your abs with me this week.

I need to forgive myself for trying to please everyone but Him. Being part of making a difference doesn’t mean making everyone happy. But it sure makes it feel like failure when we don’t succeed. I know the truth that He doesn’t leave or forsake us, but I find it impossible to let go of feeling like a disappointment. Prayer: God engrave in me that I am not a failure and that you have purpose for this Child in me crying out for proof that I am capable of making a difference and glorifying the kingdom. Come help me feel stable on this shaking ground of past and current pain and control by others. I know whose I am, I am Yours; but then why does it hurt so bad? Psalm 119:105 will be my light right now. I pray in Your healing and guiding name, Amen 🙏 Any other prayers or guidance appreciated 🙏 thank you ❤️
