The Christian Wellbeing Show Dr Michelle Simpson

This week Michelle is back with her ‘5 Simple Steps to Healthy Living’ series and in Step 2 is taking sugar - “The Sweet Deceiver” - to task.
Since the 1970’s, we have been constantly warned that we consume far too much sugar in our diets, but that hasn’t stopped us yet. 
With its myriad of uses and addictive qualities, which are pushed on consumers by the food industry, it is no surprise that over 100 health conditions are directly related to the consumption of sugar. 
Looking at the harmful impacts of sugar on physical and mental health, exploring its history, the process of its refinement, and its ubiquity in modern diets, Michelle leaves no stone unturned in her quest to help you cut down on sugar and live a more healthy life.

In this Faith Builder episode, Michelle addresses how using negative words has the power to shape our identity and beliefs, and how words can have a psychological effect on us in the long term.
Do you name yourself negatively? Do you speak badly about yourself?  Research shows that negative self-talk has been proven to have a detrimental effect on mental, emotional, and physical health. 
Drawing parallels with how God uses names and words to reveal Himself and others, this episode encourages renaming oneself with positive, empowering words aligned with biblical truths. 
Highlighting the idea that positive words can reshape your self-perception, circumstances, and future, Michelle guides you on how to embrace positive declarations to create a healthier and more fulfilling life.

This week on the Christian Wellbeing Show, Michelle is joined by her co-host Stuart to delve into the foundational and powerful subject of understanding ‘Who you are in Christ.’
Michelle and Stuart recount their own experience with researching and understanding this question, and how it fundamentally changed their lives and their identity as Christians. 
Using examples from approximately 160 scriptures that reference ‘being in Christ’, Michelle and Stuart emphasise and encourage the believer in the practical steps of incorporating this identity into your daily life. They detail some of the innumerable benefits to knowing who you are in Christ including the transformative and revolutionary effects on identity, confidence, security, authority and prayer. But as your hosts explain, the key to receiving these benefits is knowing them!

This week on The Christian Wellbeing Show, Michelle Simpson introduces the first of her Five Simple Steps to Healthy Living and the importance of eating the right foods.
Focusing on carbohydrates and whole foods, Michelle emphasises the benefits of consuming foods as close to their natural state as possible and how avoiding highly processed foods containing preservatives, artificial colours, and refined sugars is essential in your quest for a healthier you. 
Michelle discusses the difference between simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates, and the potential adverse effects on your health such as Type 2 diabetes if you consume the wrong type. By providing practical advice on transitioning to a diet rich in whole foods, this episode aims to guide listeners toward healthier eating habits and a healthier life.

In this first Faith Builder episode, Michelle addresses the fact that some Christians mistakenly refer to themselves as ‘sinners’. She highlights that upon accepting Christ, believers are no longer labelled ‘sinners’ but have a new identity as the ‘righteousness of God in Christ’.
Even though it appears to be scriptural, she challenges the idea of having a ‘sin nature’, encouraging the listener that through Christ’s sacrifice and the believer’s faith in Him, the sinful nature is removed, replaced instead with the divine nature of God.
But what does the Bible actually say? What is the truth? And are you more free than you realise?
Michelle encourages listeners towards greater freedom by developing a ‘righteousness consciousness’ instead of a sin consciousness, immersing themselves in God’s Word and surrounding themselves with faith-building teachings and communities to help them live a victorious life.

Following on from episode 4, Michelle and her co-host Stuart, continue the challenging conversation of ‘What is Church?’
As always, Stuart provides great historical insight into the church and its origins as he and Michelle discuss a range of topics, including how the church has changed and evolved over the years, the form of its gatherings, the impact on the wellbeing of its members, and how people can be better empowered. 
Between them, they address some difficult subjects such as whether Christians have moved away from Jesus’ original plan and purpose for the Church, and has the Church always given everyone a positive experience? And Michelle takes a look at five important and powerful aspects of being the Church.
