You’ve done the diets, the workouts, the tracking… so why hasn’t it lasted? If you’ve ever felt stuck in a frustrating cycle of starting strong and falling off track, this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the real reason diets keep failing—and why making your weight loss and fitness journey Christian changes everything.

Today we’re getting real about how the enemy keeps us stuck in guilt and comparison, why willpower doesn’t work, and how surrendering your health to God—not finding the perfect plan—is what truly leads to lasting change.

Timestamps:

0:00 — Welcome: This message is for the woman who keeps starting over
3:15 — Why worldly fitness leads to failure (and what God says instead)
7:40 — What surrender looks like in your health—not striving, but trust
12:10 — Emily’s story: When you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck
15:00 — A prayer over your health and mindset

Scripture to stand on:
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” —Psalm 32:8

Sister, you don’t need another plan. You need God’s plan.

Make your weight loss and fitness journey Christian—and watch everything change.

If this episode helped you, share it with a friend who needs encouragement. Your one share could be the breakthrough someone else is praying for.

Remember, You are Strong. Confident. His.
