First Things First With Your Body
A VERY BTS of what I did for better health
I posted this picture on my Instagram yesterday with this caption, “built by whole body theology first.”
It’s true. Before I set foot in a gym, again, after a probably 20 year hiatus (no joke), God built me from the ground up — my heart, my mind, and soul, my spirit — with the biblical framework of whole body theology. It has profoundly and forever changed the way I see my whole self.
No more do I live for fat grams, jeans size or swimsuit season. I am free to love my entire personhood. I truly never thought I’d see the day.
It’s been over 2 years since God changed me while writing Body & Soul. I waited and let it completely soak into my bone and marrow, rebuild my mind like a brand new computer, before I ever considered looking into body topics like macros and getting into the gym, again. I simply had to make certain I gave everything its proper time so I would not go back to the yoke I have lived with before.
About 3 months ago, I knew it was time. I sensed the healing and strength. I felt assured by the Lord that I was in a place that my mind was set like flint on the truth of who I am, not what needs fixing. So I began to make plans.
