Good to Grow Audio Book: Recent Episodes
ateamreynolds
Each week I’ll be sharing a chapter from my book, Good to Grow. The book is about embracing the abundant body that God has designed FOR YOU on purpose and for a purpose. If you ever get overwhelmed or frustrated in your journey with your body and food, you are not alone. I understand the struggle! There’s a lot thrown at us about how we should look, eat, and move. All the pressure can lead to either obsession or neglect. But there’s a better way and it starts with GRACE.
Through the book, I’ll: ---＞ share with you the journey I’ve had with food and my body ---＞ help you identify the fears, distractions, and lies keeping you from living your best life ---＞ pour God’s truth and grace over you so that you will be an overflowing display of His fruits
If you’d like a Bible study, worksheet, and printable to correspond with each chapter, you can find that on my website: https://www.well-way.net/podcast/
And of course, I’d love to connect with you over at Instagram @thewellway_amanda.
