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.

The Prayer Before The Temptation
Temptations. You got them? I bet you do. Our first response is usually to pray once we get into the situation for help--and yes-while that's something we need to do, the first step actually occurs BEFORE the temptation is in front of us. Jesus is asking us to prep...

Putting the “Brakes” on: How I Take Breaks in My Day
