The Power of Forgiveness
This is part 3 in a series on the Lord’s Prayer. You can read part one here and part two here. I am continuing on with the Lord’s Prayer. I’m picking up where I left off last time: Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. (Mt 6:12) This is another power packed verse, so grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea and get comfortable as we unpack the truths hidden in this one directive that Jesus gave us. Forgiveness is very important to our overall health. Forgiveness, and the reciprocal – unforgiveness – are not just spiritual...

The Lord’s Prayer – Part 2 In part 1 of the Lord’s Prayer, I looked at and talked about the first few verses: “Our Father, Who is in heaven, Holy is Your name. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in heaven.” If you have not read that blog post, I encourage you to take a moment and read it now. The second builds on the first! For this part 2 post, I am focusing only on the next verse, because it is jam-packed with revelation for those who have ears to hear! “Give us this day our daily bread.” What do...
read moreDoes the Lord’s prayer cover everything?
In Matthew Chapter 6 the Lord Jesus gives us the blueprint for praying to God. I have thought about “The Lord’s Prayer” many times, pondering on what I’m really praying and asking for. Have you? Have you ever stopped to consider what Jesus gave us to pray? Or have you just recited it, because you learned it in church growing up? Because it has become a “religious re-citation?” When my heart is burdened and I don’t know what to pray and ask for, I pray Jesus’ prayer. When I am confused or don’t know which way to go, I pray Jesus’ prayer....

If you’ve arrived here through the newsletter link, just scroll down a few paragraphs to continue reading! Recently, God has once again been reminding me how much He loves us, cares for us, and desires for us to walk in the fullness of what He purposed for each one of us. And one thing we know for sure He purposed is Divine health and wellness, because He bought and paid for that with His precious blood and body at Calvary. Each of us was uniquely created by God, for God. He envisioned us before we were in our mother’s wombs. He...
read moreWhy Biblical Health Coaching is important
People often ask me: What are the benefits of Biblical health coaching? Isn’t “regular” health coaching the same? The short answer? Yes and no. And here’s why. What is health coaching? On the surface, all health coaching has the same basic tenet: to help guide, encourage, and motivate people in making healthier lifestyle choices, resulting in progressive and sustainable health and wellness. The coach and client establish a trusting and interactive relationship through the use of various coaching techniques and science based education. ...

You’ve heard the phrase, “there’s a church on every corner.” You can say the same thing about diet plans! They are all over the place! If you Google diet plans, you will find articles that list 100 different diet plans. A small survey conducted in the UK found “that the average adult will try an unbelievable 126 fat diets over the course of their life. That means at least two new diets each and every year.” Why is this? You want to get well, you want to be healthy, you want to lose weight, you want to fix your diabetes, high blood...

When it comes to improving our health, we usually think about eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking more water, getting more or better quality sleep, and getting more exercise. We may think about limiting our exposure to pesticides by buying organic, drinking filtered water instead of tap water to limit exposure to toxins and heavy metals, or using an air purifier to reduce air contaminants in the air we breathe. These are good steps to take in overall health care, but they all have to do with what goes in the body. Have you ever...
read moreFaith is the Foundation
Faith is the foundation of the Christian’s walk with God. Everything we believe comes from faith. Faith perceives as real those things that cannot be seen with the senses. As a Christian health coach, faith is the foundation of health coaching. Faith believes in the integrity of God’s word, that it will accomplish that which it says it will do. The Message Translation of Heb 11:1 says, “The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see.”
read moreWhat’s in a name?
Names are important to God. Did you know that God has over 100 names in the bible? Each one of these names set forth the virtues, characteristics, and attributes of God. In other words, they are descriptive about His nature and are a way in which God reveals to us who He is. One of His names is Jehovah Rapha. Jehovah means “Lord” and Rapha means “to cure, to heal, to make whole.” Let’s look at that in context.
