Lies we Believe Wellness in the Word April 2022 The focus Our focus for this workshop was to protect our hearts from the lies of this world and to replace them with truth from God’s word. We covered a few lies, but we spent time talking about the lie that I will never be able to change my habits, I keep failing! This is the lie that causes us to “give up” on taking care of our bodies for God’s glory. What we talked about First, we redefined success in…

Week 7: Joy As we go through this week together, I want us to grow in joy as we learn to take care of our bodies for the glory of God. Let us remember that our ultimate joy comes from the Lord and it is unshakable, never changing, never ending, and ultimately found in the presence of our God! Finding joy in all things helps us to continue working for the Lord to glorify Him in all we do. We will grow in this fruit of the Spirit more when…
Week 6: Patience We know patience it is a characteristic that pleases God since it is one of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), but often we feel like we don’t have much of it. We also know that God Himself is full of patience, steadfastness, and faithfulness. These qualities show God to be firm, unwavering, loyal, and long-suffering. Lastly, we know that as our faith grows, we will become more like Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit and in becoming more like Christ, we will see…
Week 5: Getting Rid of Lies When it comes to taking care of our bodies well, Satan is constantly trying to get us to believe lies about who we are, what we are worth, and what will satisfy us. These lies creep into our lives and we often don’t recognize we are starting to believe them. We must learn how to recognize them so we can fight with truth from God’s word. In the midst of all of the lies, let us not forget that we are lovely created beings…
Week 4: Self-Control Don’t run away after reading that the topic for this week is self-control. I promise after 5 days of digging into learn more about self-control, you will come out on the other side encouraged! We often think of self-control with a negative connotation, but I want us to think of self-control as “metered” and disciplined, not based on emotions, but on logic. I think self-control and Intuitive Eating can go together very well when we view it as a way of eating where we are kind and…
Week 3: Finding Peace (with Food and our Bodies) This week, we will learn how to find peace in both our food and nutrition and our body image. We can discover peace by continuing to transform our minds when we identify worldly thoughts and ideas and replace them with thoughts that are true and Biblical. Transforming our minds can be challenging, but don’t worry! You have God beside you helping you find the truth, joy, and patience in this entire journey! Let us guard against thinking of food as our…
