LIVE FREE: It’s the culmination of balancing the other 2 areas; “train hard” and “eat well”, but it’s also HOW we find our answers to them!
In order to live free, we must remove the weights that lay heavy on us…weights of fear, doubts, hang-ups, and more. The nuts & bolts of eating and exercising is easy–managing them while holding to your priorities, stewarding your resources, & keeping a healthy life balance is the tough part.
I believe that when we read and apply truths from the Word of God–the most powerful health tool I have–that we find that freedom. We find how to transform our mind, how we should align our priorities, and get equipped to make it happen.

How Purpose, Intensity and Consistency Rocked My Body This Year
