This week's episode dives deeper in the lies of comparison. While also covering the 3 different kinds of comparison. I pray that if you are a gal that struggles immensely with comparing yourself to others negatively or even to your past self or body that this helps your heart and mindset transform and that the Lord provides TRUTH to you through this message today.

Todays episode is a bit deep for being about fitness but I know so many of us have been in bondage to the lie
"Ill be happy if I lose the weight"
"I'll be happy if I just had the abs"
"I'll be happy if I felt sexier"
etc etc etc ,
This is a constant hamster wheel of lies that can spiral and just cause more emptiness, defeat, and discouragement instead of just finding JOY, the pure joy of Jesus in your journey .
I hope this episode gives some incite and guidance on how to find freedom from this bondage of the lie "ill just be happy if___"

in today's episode I get a little heated about a topic that's close to my heart and I think it may light a little fire under your toosh too!!
Our culture and society have normalized some of the most ridiculous mindsets and things if you take a moment to pause and think about some of the things that our society deems as "normal" it's almost dumbfounding. I hope after today you see how society has brain washed us women and mamas to view our bodies, our capabilities, and what life is just supposed to look like once you hit a certain age or phase in your life.
I hope this episode blesses you and if it does don't forget to write a five-star review as this helps the podcast & His message get into the hearts of other sweet women and sisters in Christ too!

I talk a lot about surrendering our fitness journey, our workouts, our nutrition, discipline, habits, heart set & mindset & ever our bodies over to the Lord, butttt I think sometimes people can take that as "okay soooooo I need to give that all to God and He'll just take care of the rest, if I take action and continue to put in the effort, eh, that means I'm not truly surrendering" & this is the FURTHEST from the truth. So, today I dive deeper into this topic of surrendering your journey & what that looks like!

This week I share some sweet reminders, from actually, our pastor in a recent sermon. I obviously was thinking of YOU and God spoke to me relating it also to our fitness journey! So many times we can do this journey out of pure "duty" "rules" "regulations" "results". I wanted to teach and warn you what that may result in long term. & I wanted to provide a better option for you to follow concerning LOVE. I hope this speaks to you as well! if it does don't forget to share it with someone else that may need this same message too!

Today I chat with you on a little short and sweet bonus episode about some thoughts I actually had while studying the book of Habbakuk. The reading was over Habakkuk 1:13-2:1. Not super long but actually so much was revealed to me from the Lord in just those few verses when breaking down the scripture in this study from the daily grace co. I felt a little called out by the Lord but in a loving way. Like "hey sister you are not doing this", " you run to everyone else and everything else to get that quick fix feeling, instead of coming to ME first and placing yourself before ME". Take a listen to todays episode and this may make more sense! and also feel free to take a look at the Daily Grace Co. studies from their site! They are so so good and im learning so so much!! >>>> Click here to check out all the studies available All Bible Studies – The Daily Grace Co.

It's so easy and common in today's society to be too prideful (I've been here too and still struggle in moments with pride) and take the credit for our results we achieve in our fitness journey forgetting who makes the results possible in the first place, Christ. So today we are gonna dive into trying our best to find humility and laying down pride in our journey continuing to strive to be more and more like Jesus and His character even in our fitness journey.

Earlier this week I felt the Holy Spirit in a way that typically I feel when on longer training runs, however this time it was at my kitchen sink. In todays episode we're going to dive deeper into the meaning of GRACE and how we can sometimes miss the opportunity to fully experience HIS grace because were too focused on trying to be perfect. Then creating a surface level relationship with Jesus. Riding on our own goodness, our own righteousness and not realizing how much we truly need Him. I share this moment with you hopin that it gets to whoever needed to also hear this, as I felt He wasn't just talking to me at my kitchen sink that am <3 lets dive in sis!

God takes time to do everything right - EVERYTHING, "those who wait around for Him are the lucky ones." Isaiah 30:18 & in todays episode we are going to focus on the blessings that occur in waiting. Waiting for and on the Lord. So many times we are in such a hurry to achieve results, get, have, experience, that we forget to actually see & reveal the blessings God has for us along the journey of waiting in our fitness! How many times have you wished results would just come already? How many times have you wished it wouldn't take so long? sister, could it be that God is trying to reveal something to you, transform you, or provide blessing for you right there in the time of waiting? What if you are missing it!!! I hope this episode helps you concerning "the wait" in the journey.

A lot of times we view our weaknesses in this life and in our fitness as something negative, shame filled, and wrong. What if sis we looked at our weakness as actually our biggest "superpower" not because of anything we do but because of what HE does through us in our weaknesses. In this episode I dive deeper into what I mean by this post run & endorphin high energy like, passionate, and then vulnerable as I share what it means to experience such a FREEDOM in Jesus through allowing Him to work through us in our weaknesses.

Come on a run with me during todays episode as we chat and dive into the idea of "well God already loves me, so why does it even matter to care for my temple and exercise?" What does it even matter? I share with you why it matters on this podcast and how this can sometimes be an excuse or a way to get out of taking responsibility and accountability to move our bodies and nourish our temple well. Don't mind my heavy breathing and the lousy sound today, this is just real life and Christ asked me to record this while I was running. Not sure why but I just went ahead and went for it!

When we make new years resolutions, have you ever noticed we tend to say these four words or something similar? "For now on I..." That fourth word is always "I". focusing our goals and resolutions and accomplishing them in our OWN strength and not HIS! It starts unintentionally becoming about us and not about Him with caring for our bodies. So in this episode I share some good word from the Lord and a previous sermon we just had at church that I knew would impact and help us here in this podcast in some way! It just alllll went soooo well with the mission and message behind this podcast and Laced with Grace, Fully Embraced ministry!

Sister, are you running on empty when it comes to your health and wellness journey and bogged down with the thoughts of January literally being right around the corner for another new year where you'll set the goals and the resolutions, but you feel like you'll just fail again after those first couple weeks? Well, I have some good news for you!! When we make Christ the center of our fitness journeys, we don't have to rely only on our motivation, strength, discipline and energy but on HIS! In this episode I answer a question that I received just this past week on how exactly someone makes Christ the center of their fitness journey... I also wanted to share some of my FAVE Christan rap and hip hop for you to start listening to in your workouts that may help those Holy Spirit vibes flow through you in that time!

Ever wonder Whyyyy?? why is this or that happening to you? Why this pain is still there?

Even in our fitness journeys we experience the temporary pains of inconveniences, lacking motivation, being sore or struggling in a workout. In this episode sis I explain how the things we go through and the temporary pains in our fitness walk andddd in our faith walk/life in general are a NECESSITY to ever experiencing that eternal transformation.

But, GAHHHHH!!! I'm so beyond excited that I get the blessing of sharing this planner, devotional, and fitness planner with you!!! This project God placed on my heart a little while back and again as usual lol I started to question Him on it. I thought maybe it'd take me about a year or so to complete butttt sister the last couple months God provided the time, resources, and energy to complete it already!!! As I'm recording this episode it's not even for sure published to amazon as it's just going through the 72-hour review process before they can officially make it accessible for you. However, even if it doesn't get approved for publishing, I KNOW without a doubt that Gods going to make it possible to get to YOU in some way because it was created in HIS mission and vision through me to help women make Him the focus of everything they do and help them alongside their journeys in honoring their temples!

Why are we waiting to transform until a certain day, month, year etc. sister? Why?! We don't need it to be a new year to continue transforming and becoming the very best version of us. We also don't need a new year for a new beginning. We don't need some huge, monumental change or massive, over the top action to take place for a new beginning. In this episode I get a little heated, spicey, and passionate about what you actually do need in order for transformation and a new beginning. I love you too much to allow you to miss out on opportunities, experiences, and growth that Christ may have for you this whole month of December if you are simply waiting on the new year for a new beginning. xoxo, your sis in Christ, Kels.

Yo, you may already know this or maybe you had no stinking idea but hey the holidays are coming up so I thought I'd be sure to share some FOOD podcasts with ya! Today I get a little nerdy on ya and talk about some of the science behind what exactly happens to our bodies when we restrict food and caloric intake. A lot of times it's preached in diet culture to have 1200 calorie diets/nutrition programs or even maybe less than that. Or, the whole "burn more than what you take in and that'll help a hit your fitness /weight loss goals!" But really what that ends up doing over a longggggg period time is simply destroying your metabolism and keeps you from actually stepping into those results and hitting plateaus. It's frustrating so in this episode I wanted to explain and educate you a bit on why this happens. let's dive in Sista!

I know the scale can be suchhhhh a good tool to track our progress on our fitness and health journey but unfortunately it can also be something that hinders our journey when it becomes unhealthy.

We're gonna be chatting all about how sometimes our excuses we give for why we can't move our temples or eat well, or spend time with the Lord are actually not just excuses, but that we are not prioritizing them!! ekkkk. Try "it's just not important to me to spend time in my Bible or with my Creator" OUCHHHHH!! right? Hey, I'm right there with you sis! I'm not just preaching this at you!! I'm talking to me too because I still time to time just like you, struggle with throwing out them excuses! If we want something to happen or we want to do something we make it happen right?!

In this episode I'm legit recording this from my son's hospital room as I'm struggling to rest but he sleeps soundly next to me finally, bless his sweet little heart. I’m chatting with you today about how life happens which means sometimes our "plan for fitness & nutrition" gets off course and that's part of the journey and how it's such a HUGE “non scale” win concerning having a healthy relationship with food and eating OFF of your plan with no guilt or shame about it. I share part of my journey from years ago, as I never would have been able to get off plan and not beat myself up about it later. I had a horrendous relationship with food & my body. It's not healthy to never allow yourself foods you love, to beat yourself up about life happening and simply not having those healthy options available. It's healthy to enjoy foods you love in moderation!!! so much love for you friend! That’s what Christ wants for us too, to honor our temples which includes our mind & relationship with food. xoxo, your sis in Christ, Kels.

Sometimes we have a plan, we have prepared something or for something, and the Holy Spirit takes you in a whole different direction. I had content lined up for you today but as usual I prayed before I pressed record and over and over again, I felt this nudge and heard this whisper that you needed someone to pray over YOU today!

In this episode today we will be diving into the slippery slope or "major dangers" of working out or working on our health and fitness ONLY and SOLELY to be thin and skinny. Becoming thin or achieving the benefits of working out being associated with outward appearance is not a BAD thing so to speak obviously those are blessings in the journey, but it becomes a huge red flag when the things I talk about in this episode are starting to occur and you realize "man, I'm just super focused on only being thin" and that's why I'm even on this journey. Remember the benefits of the workouts and the journey are not BAD! But we can't have them trump simply working out to serve & care for & honor the gift God's given us which is our temple.

I get it, for soooo long we have had pounded into our heads that working out is solely to lose weight, solely to lose inches, solely to gain confidence and muscle and strength, or tone, or look a certain way, or gain more energy, or even just to be healthy. But are those things bad? absolutely not! However, those benefits of putting in the work shouldn't be the first and primary reason we're putting in the work. In this episode we're chatting about who and what the Benefactor actually is concerning our health and fitness and then what those benefits/results are. Then diving a little further about how it's so important that when on our journey we have our goals in our work not just be driven by the benefits but by the Benefactor. Also wanted to attach a document for you of scriptures I shared with my Laced With Grace online gals that back up and remind us of what Christ says about our bodies and exercise, use these and stick them on sticky notes around the house or in your car wherever you know you'll see them most! https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/verses%20for%20exercise%20and%20wellness.pdf?token=AWzXNcLq46ca82cXRlbB3pwZzQi9qdRycL2sVgZT0n89nZPjd_g65rGknYgHqw1ngGH4YjKOZUnqNKDWv7LvSYeaAhASQv0YE6b3yMSYzBEECrlFHSavBnofogXDubgMxhR9jhk8ORmIaixi-epys1JwsmkFz8GrUSJZ_RV0kynnGeAZ1Zo41PZxBi_0wp2r6aeCXRJED65KZx-_t81FXdikTWM2vYgQY3fCSaNY0NkCWjx2vYbh3KYvAS763dRo-utEJ8aj1rYg3s1uMaVvEhP9

Do you feel like you have to get your ish together before coming to Christ? What is I told you that wasn't the case? What if I told you the very same things that are keeping you in "hiding" from connecting with Him are the same things He died for, for you sis?! What if I told you that imperfection is what qualifies you to go to Him and have a relationship with Him. What if I told you its also the same for your fitness journey?! The very reasons why you are doubting yourself, the reasons why you don't feel you are ready to commit or start on your journey are the very things that qualify you to start today!!! We'll dive a little deeper into what I mean in this episode, blessed to get the opportunity to chat with you today sis! let's do this thang!!

ya know, getting healthy as a momma or women with so many hats in and of itself can be a hard thing to conquer but when added tension of condescending comments, body shaming, or passive aggressive comments are made it makes it THAT much harder. we can start to second guess whether or not we should even stick with it, whether we're "the crazy one" for caring for our temples and being more disciplined. But sis, in this episode I'm gonna give you some practical steps on how to navigate this and overcome what may seem like a road block in your fitness! Let's dive in yes?!
