09 Jan 2023EP 29: How Prayer Practically Changes Our Body Image00:42:45

In episode 29 of The Joyful Health Show, we discuss how prayer practically changes our body image. Body image is the perception of ourselves in the mirror, how we feel in our body, and our sense of control within our body throughout the day. These thoughts or feelings about ourselves  and reflection are shaped by our mind’s body ideal as influenced by media, family, or friends. While these voices are important, what’s even more impactful on body image is hearing what God says about us by connecting with Him through Scripture-focused prayer. In this episode, Aubrey and Kasey discuss personal stories of body image, how prayer affects the brain, and how time with God moves us from preoccupation with ourselves to praise for him. We discuss:

  • How body image is a multifaceted perspective processed by our brains
  • What prayer is, and how it changes your brain around body image
  • Practical ways to establish a twelve-minute prayer routine to improve your body image

In this episode of the Joyful health Show, we address obsession with sweets and how to navigate this during the holidays as parents who want what’s best for ourselves and our kids. Crystal Karges, MS, RDN, IBCLC, has personally battled with eating disorders and motherhood challenges, and now shares her journey of transformation from a place of fear and control to one of connection and freedom.

09 Jan 2024Episode 58: Discerning the Voice of God for Your Health00:33:35

In this episode of the Joyful Health Show, we delve into the topic of discerning the voice of God for our health. Understanding how to hear from God in general is crucial, and we explore its significance and impact on our well-being. Through personal experiences and biblical references, we unravel the ways God communicates, emphasizing the importance of aligning decisions with His wisdom. Our hope is that this episode will give you clarity in seeking the voice of the Lord and being able to listen to His direction above the noise of the world. 

Takeaways:

  • Wait and Watch: Foster faith, tune your ears, and eagerly anticipate God's guidance. Psalm 5:3 reminds us to pray, listen, and watch for His voice.
  • Word: Ensure alignment with God's teachings, using the Bible as a benchmark. Priscilla Shirer's "Five Ms" guides us in discerning the message, mode, model, ministry, and mercy of God's voice.
  • Wisdom: Seek practical wisdom for health decisions. Evaluate choices through the lens of responsibility: Do I have the resources to handle this commitment along with my current responsibilities? Could this fit physically? Could this fit financially? Could this fit spiritually? Could this fit emotionally? God's guidance is not chaotic but brings the fruit of peace and righteousness.

In this mini episode of the Joyful Health Show, we will dig into what it means to pursue health goals that align with the Lord’s will for you. Should we pursue a pain-free life? Is weight loss a harmful pursuit? What goals are both beneficial for us and honoring to the Lord?

  • 1. Purposeful Health Goals: Evaluate if your health goals align with your life's purpose and are sustainable for the long term.
  • 2. Life-Giving Choices: Explore whether your health pursuits bring joy, energy, and kindness to reflect God’s love for you and others.

Our hope is that this podcast will give you some questions to pray through with the Lord before you invest your time, energy, and resources into the next health pursuit. Listen to His voice, and let Him lead the way.

26 Mar 2024Episode 68: What Your Body Says About Who God Is00:29:57

In this episode of the Joyful Health Show, Kasey challenges the mainstream perspective of judging our body based on appearance. Together, we will look at the majesty of God’s the human body, and talk about ways in which it can help us know God’s character better. Romans 1:20 points to creation as a beautiful witness to who God is: “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” We pray this episode allows you to give thanks for the creation of your body and to see God’s goodness more clearly.

3 Questions to Ask:

1. Do I judge my body for how it looks, or praise God for how it works?

2. How does my body's function reflect God's care for me?

3. How can my body be a reflection of God's love for others?

Thank you for listening! May these words help you love God more fully in the body He has given you today.
