I feel I’d be remiss if I didn’t say something that ties together both pieces of revelation I’ve had about weight loss spiritually speaking. Yes, there are countless things that can happen to us, around us, that can lead to our body’s becoming physically addicted to food, Whether we learn to run to it for comfort, escape, happiness (aka dopamine), or some other reason, there are many natural/external possible causes. But none of those reasons excuse us from the responsibility

Recently somebody told me that it is clear I am a fighter. A warrior. In the Spirit and in the every day. They said they could tell from my personality and my story, the bit that they know, that I am not afraid of a fight. That I’m not one to back down.      Honestly, at first, that made me laugh.

I’ve seen, and been, one of the out of breath, red in the face, sweating from just standing behind the pulpit, preachers. It’s sad. Really sad. We are Christians know that our bodies are not o

Weight loss is sort of a taboo topic, even in 2026, but that’s where we are going with this. In particular, why is it that I can hardly ever find a Spirit Filled, Godly, weight loss “influencer” who knows the looooong road of losing more than half of their body weight? I’m not at all trying to imply that the smaller weight loss coaches have nothing to
