    #1080 "When God Feels Absent, Keep Rowing" A REVING the Word Intervals Workout

    What do you do when you followed God into the boat, and then He seems to disappear? When the storm lasts longer than you expected, the answers don't come, and you find yourself asking, Where are You, God?   In this REVING the Word experience, Alisa Keeton walks through John 6:16–21, where the disciples find themselves rowing through a storm after witnessing Jesus perform a miracle. As you move your body, you'll explore what it means to trust God when He feels absent, and to recognize His presence in the middle of the storm.   Train your heart as you move your body. Whether you're walking, running, or cleaning the house as you listen, this is an invitation to get honest and bring your questions before God. You don't have to understand the storm to trust the One who put you in the boat.   Today's Scripture John 6:16–21   Embodied Practice: Grab a notebook, on the left side write out your groans, your questions, complaints, frustrations, and fears. Bring it honestly to God.   Then, on the right side, write: "But as for me..." Lift all these things up to God. Trust Him. Follow Him. He is worthy. Keep rowing.   Playlist for this REVING the Word: So Good – riley.

    #1079 "Stop Waiting to Arrive" A REVING the Word Workout

    What if joy isn't waiting for you at the finish line? Have you been waiting to feel joyful, confident, or close to God once you finally reach your goal? In this REVING the Word experience, Revelation Wellness Instructor and staff, Tori, invites you to move your body while meditating on Philippians 3:12–14. As you listen and move your body, you'll explore the difference between striving and surrender, conviction and condemnation, and learn how God transforms us through small acts of faithful obedience. Press play and practice perseverance. Your heart will be reminded that Christ already took hold of you, and that's why you can keep pressing on.   New to REVING the Word? REVING the Word is where movement becomes worship. However you move today—walking, stretching, or cleaning the house—this is your invitation to fix your eyes on Christ while moving the body He has given you. You don't have to arrive before you experience His joy. Bring your whole self—body, mind, and spirit—and receive His grace. Anchor Scripture: Philippians 3:12–14 Practice this Week: Spend a few minutes reflecting on these questions: Where in your life have you been waiting to arrive before allowing yourself to experience joy? Are you pursuing health to earn something? What is one faithful step you can take today? Write your responses in a journal and ask the Lord to show you what one faithful "yes" looks like today.

    #1078 "What Do You Really Want?" A REVING the Word Sprint Workout

    What do you really want? Beneath every frustration, fear, or unanswered prayer is often a deeper longing. In this REVING the Word experience, Alisa Keeton invites you to move your body as you engage with Psalm 23 through movement, prayer, reflection, and worship. Explore the difference between our wants and our deepest needs, and the freedom that comes when we let the Good Shepherd lead. In this workout, you'll be invited into a series of sprint intervals that will interrupt your comfort and wake up the body. As you move, you'll be asked honest questions and discover that the Good Shepherd isn't simply interested in meeting your wants, but caring for your deepest needs too.   New to REVING the Word? REVING the Word is about theology for our biology. Move your body however that looks for you today. Take a walk, mow the lawn, clean the house, stretch, or listen at the gym. There isn't one right way to REV the Word. Just bring your whole self as you move, breathe, and meditate on God's Word.   Anchor Scriptures Psalm 23 Philippians 4:19   🎧 Playlist for This Episode Right Now – MASCOT Back to Life – Eli F As Long As I'm Living – Anastasia Tolstikova Saving Grave – Lionsaddle, Babsy.

    #1077 The Posture of Wellness

    Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right, stayed faithful, done the work, surrendered it to God, and still felt like it isn't working?   Maybe it's your health, your marriage, a dream, or a body that won't cooperate. You've sown plenty and harvested little, and you're starting to wonder: is this even worth it?   In this episode, Alisa gets honest about a season she's just walked through herself and unpacks why our instinct in that place is almost always the same: to grip tighter. She talks about the "palmer grasp reflex." The primitive, clenching survival instinct we're literally born with explains why we try to control our weight, our health, and our circumstances when life feels uncertain.   Walking through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 12, Alisa unpacks what she calls the posture of wellness, a way of holding both pain and trust, sorrow and celebration, certainty and mystery, at the same time, instead of swinging between control and collapse.   You're invited to picture and practice what it looks like to open your hands and receive rather than grasp and control. Bringing both our pain and our praise to God at the same time.   Embodied Practices to Participate in Surrender Notice the clench: Pay attention to the moments you start gripping, controlling, or trying to force an outcome. That's your cue to pause. Get curious instead of certain: When you feel the urge to white-knuckle a decision or a habit, ask a question instead of making a final judgment. Open your hands: Practice naming what's hard in one hand and what you know is true about God in the other and bring both to Him.   These aren't just spiritual practices; they're ways of working with how God designed our nervous systems so that our minds, bodies, and spirits can come into alignment with Him.   Scriptures Referenced Genesis 12:1-3 Matthew 5:3 (The Message) Romans 4:21 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 Ready to Go Deeper? 👉 Join RW+ for community, faith-fueled workouts, and real freedom (including our Food & Body Freedom Group): [link] 👉 Train with us — become a Revelation Wellness Instructor or LiveWell Coach: [link] 👉 Get connected — alisakeeton.com | revelationwellness.org | Instagram | YouTube 👉 Become a Donor — learn how to come on mission with us: [link] Loved this episode?

    #1076 "You Won't Be Wrong" A REVING the Word Workout

    You can be walking with God and still walk through painful places. Following Jesus does not mean we avoid hurt, opposition, or discomfort. But it does mean we are never without His presence.    In this REVING the Word workout, Alisa Keeton explores Luke 10:17-20 and the authority Jesus gives His followers. When the 72 disciples returned amazed by what God had done through them, Jesus reminded them that their greatest victory was not what they accomplished, but that their names were written in heaven.   Followers of Jesus will experience hurt. We will face resistance and walk through hard things. But when you are anchored in Jesus, "you won't be wrong." Press play, move your body, open your heart, and let His Word move in you.   Anchor Scriptures Luke 10:17–20 Luke 9 Luke 12:32 Hebrews 11:1 Psalm 139   New to REVING the Word? Your body was created to carry the presence and purpose of God. In REVING the Word episodes, we don't just listen to Scripture; we practice it. We let God's truth move from our ears into our hearts and through our bodies.   Move however you want. Walk. Lift. Stretch. Dance. There is no "right" way. As you move your body, remember: you were made for more than sitting on the sidelines. You were created to walk in the authority Jesus gives you.    🎧 Playlist for This Workout Listen to the Music (DJ Malibu Mix) – The Doobie Brothers A Smile with Scars – CRi, Romain Garcia What I see (feat.

    #1075 "Strengthening Your Heart" A REVING The Word Workout

    What are you carrying that God never asked you to hold? Are your hands clenched tightly around an outcome? A relationship, a situation, or a prayer you've been waiting on? In this REVING the Word workout, Jennifer Allen invites you to discover the freedom of holy indifference—the practice of caring deeply while releasing control to God.   Rooted in James 5 and 2 Peter 1, this REVING the Word experience invites you to move your body as you engage with Scripture through prayer, reflection, and worship. Open your hands and move your body as you hear this Good News that will shape you from the inside out, discovering that true strength isn't found in controlling the outcome. This is a practice of remaining faithful and firmly rooted in God's love, even as the story is still unfolding.   Open your hands. Release the outcome. Stay faithful. Strengthen your heart.   Anchor Scriptures James 5:7–8 2 Peter 1:5–8 Matthew 26:36–46 Romans 12:18–19   New to REVING the Word? Your body was made to move! So move it, any way you want as you listen. Walk the dog, mow the lawn, listen as you lift weights in the gym, or dance in the kitchen. There isn't one right way. Just move, breathe, and as your body moves, let His Word move in you. This is how we stay whole in body, soul, and spirit.   🎧 Playlist for This Workout We Welcome You Today (2024 Re-Work) [feat.

    #1074 "Treasures" A Be Still and Be Loved Biblical Meditation

    Be Still & Be Loved is a guided Scripture meditation designed to help you slow down, quiet your mind, and rest in God's presence. Whether you're beginning your day, taking a midday pause, or preparing for sleep, this space invites you to breathe deeply and receive His peace. Take a few moments to settle into a comfortable position. If you're able, lie down. If not, find a seat where you can rest without distraction. As you begin to notice your breath, pay attention to how your state of being starts to shift. Every inhale and exhale is a reminder that God is near, holding you with His steady love. In this guided meditation, you'll reflect on 2 Corinthians 4:7: "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us." Though our bodies are fragile, they carry something infinitely valuable—God's presence. He is our greatest treasure, and He treasures every part of us, including our minds. Together we'll quiet the noise, fix our thoughts on what is excellent, noble, and true, and rest in the One who is making us new—body, mind, and spirit. Breathe deeply. You are held. You are loved. You are His treasure.

    #1073 Does the Body Really Keep the Score?

    Have you seen videos of people experiencing a dramatic emotional release and wondered, "Do I need that to heal?" The conversation around trauma, somatic healing, and nervous system regulation has exploded in recent years. Many point to the bestselling book The Body Keeps the Score and the idea that trauma is stored in the body. Others argue that trauma isn't stored in the body at all, but rather in the brain's predictive patterns and responses. So what's true? In this episode, Alisa explores this important conversation through both science and Scripture, examining where biology and theology meet. Together we'll consider what trauma does to the brain and body, why healing requires more than information alone, and how God's design for our minds and bodies points us toward lasting freedom. You'll discover: What somatic release is The difference between trauma being "stored" in the body versus encoded in the brain How trauma can impact our ability to shift from fear, anxiety, and hypervigilance into peace and safety Why tending to the body can help us tend to the mind What Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 10:5 teach us about renewing our minds Why healing happens in connection, not isolation How the compassion of Christ invites us into true restoration Alisa also unpacks Jesus' encounter with the man at the pool in John 5, asking a powerful question: Do we truly want to be healed, even when healing requires discomfort, surrender, and change? Practical Ways to Participate in Healing Get close to Jesus Spend time in God's Word until your heart is awakened to His truth and love. Stay connected to God's people Healing happens in relationships with people who embody the love and truth of Christ. Practice daily sacrifice Learn to become comfortable with healthy discomfort. These practices are more than spiritual disciplines—they are psycho-neuro-biological pathways that help align our minds, bodies, and spirits with God's design for wholeness. Scriptures Referenced Romans 12:2 2 Corinthians 10:5 John 5:1-15 Resources Mentioned The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Kotler S, Mannino M, Fox G and Friston K (2026) The body does not keep the score: trauma, predictive coding, and the restoration of metastability.
