    Ep. 171 What is REALLY Keeping You Stuck? | 6 Things That Hold Us Back From Moving Forward

    Send us Fan Mail What if you already KNOW what you need to do to get healthier and stronger, but you’re still struggling to do it consistently? Sometimes the answer isn’t more information. We need to look at what keeps getting in the way of what we already know. In this episode of The Warrior Up Podcast, we’re digging into 6 things that can quietly keep us STUCK: offense and resentment, comparison, fear and dread, procrastination, exhaustion and unbelief. We’ll look at what Scripture says about each one, how these patterns can affect our health and everyday choices, and practical ways to start moving forward. This isn’t about condemnation or beating yourself up. It’s about asking the Holy Spirit to reveal where you may be giving ground away, renewing your mind with God’s truth and putting that truth into ACTION. You don’t have to fix everything today. Ask God to show you the ONE area that needs your attention, then take the next faithful step with JESUS. Feeling stuck does not mean you have to stay stuck. Let’s WARRIOR UP and start gaining ground, one faithful step at a time. PRAY. PRESS PLAY. TAKE THE NEXT STEP. ******* For more Christ-centered encouragement, workouts, and resources, visit crosstrain180.com Subscribe to my YouTube channel for Christ-centered workouts & much more: CrossTrain180 with Amy Smith 📕 Want to go deeper?

    Ep. 170 You CAN Get Healthy & Fit as You Age | 3 Ways to Get Back to the Basics with Jesus

    Send us Fan Mail You CAN get healthy and fit as you age, but you don’t have to do it the world’s way. In Episode 170 of The Warrior Up Podcast, we’re getting back to the basics and putting JESUS right where He belongs: at the center of our health and fitness. We’ll talk about 3 simple but powerful foundations: getting wisdom from God, renewing your mind, and actually MOVING your body. We’re also talking about comparison, aging, body image, social media, and why what worked years ago may not be what your body needs today. You don’t need another quick fix or someone else’s transformation plan. You need wisdom, truth, consistent action, and a WHY that goes much deeper than the number on the scale. It’s time to stop compartmentalizing your faith and fitness and learn to steward your whole life — spirit, mind, and body — with Jesus at the center. One prayer. One workout. One day at a time.

    Ep. 169 Why Am I Here, and How Should I Live? | Part 8: Becoming a Wholehearted Disciple

    Send us Fan Mail Fit Sister, if all of this is TRUE, then my life should look different. For the past eight weeks, we’ve been asking some BIG questions: Who is God, really? Can we trust the Bible? Who is Jesus? Who does God say I am? Why can’t I fix myself? But we weren’t asking these questions just to know more about our faith. Because what we believe will shape how we LIVE. So now we’re bringing it all home. Why am I here? What is my purpose? And what does it actually look like to follow Jesus with my WHOLE life? In this final episode of the WHO TOLD YOU THAT? series, we’re talking about what it means to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, become wholehearted disciples of Jesus, and then GO and live out the mission He’s given us right where our feet are. Your marriage. Your family. Your work. Your health. Your relationships. Your choices. Your ordinary everyday life. Jesus doesn’t just want a little piece of our lives. When we belong to Him, He gets ALL of us. Spirit. Mind. Body. Champion in Christ, it’s time to stop simply knowing the truth and start LIVING IT. ✝️🔥 ******** For more Christ-centered encouragement, workouts, and resources, visit crosstrain180.com Subscribe to my YouTube channel for Christ-centered workouts & much more: CrossTrain180 with Amy Smith 📕 Want to go deeper?

    Ep. 168 Why Can't I Fix Myself? | Part 7: Why We Need Jesus

    Send us Fan Mail What if the reason you’re exhausted from trying to “fix yourself” is because you were never meant to save or transform yourself in the first place? In Part 7 of our WHO TOLD YOU THAT? series, we’re getting to the heart of the gospel: what happened when sin entered the world, why being a “good person” can’t reconcile us to God, and why every single one of us needs Jesus. But we’re not stopping at salvation. We’re talking about what actually happens when we’re made alive in Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, and what it looks like to LIVE differently as Jesus continues transforming us. I’m also sharing something personal from this past year and what God has been teaching me through a season when I realized, once again, I cannot fix myself. I need Jesus. This isn’t about trying harder to become good enough for God. It’s about understanding what Jesus has already done for us and learning to walk with Him, depend on Him, and become more like Him. Episode 168: Why Can’t I Fix Myself? | Part 7: Why We Need Jesus You don’t have to fix yourself. You need Jesus. And He isn’t finished with you yet. ******** For more Christ-centered encouragement, workouts, and resources, visit crosstrain180.com Subscribe to my YouTube channel for Christ-centered workouts & much more: CrossTrain180 with Amy Smith 📕 Want to go deeper?

    Ep. 167 Who Does God Say I Am? | Part 6: The Truth About Who You Really Are

    Send us Fan Mail WHO DOES GOD SAY YOU ARE?  The world has plenty to say about your identity, your worth, your body, and who you should become. But as devoted disciples of Jesus, there’s one voice that must have the final word: GOD’S. In Part 6 of our “Who Told You That?” series, we’re going to Scripture to discover who God says we are and why knowing WHO GOD IS must come before truly understanding WHO WE ARE. We’ll also uncover an incredible truth: in Christ, you don’t simply belong to God… the Holy Spirit DWELLS IN YOU. Your body is His temple. (1 Corinthians 6:19–20) And that changes the way we see EVERYTHING. Our identity. Our worth. Our minds. Our bodies. Our purpose. Our obedience. Our entire lives. We were never called to give Jesus just one part of ourselves. SPIRIT. MIND. BODY. ALL FOR JESUS.

    Ep. 166 | 10 Truths That Change How You See EVERYTHING | Part 5: Think Biblically

    Send us Fan Mail Over the last four weeks, we’ve gone DEEP.  We’ve talked about worldview and who’s shaping what we believe, who the God of the Bible REALLY is, whether we can trust the Bible as God’s Word, and who JESUS really is, including the evidence for His bodily resurrection. Today, we’re bringing it ALL together. I’m sharing 10 powerful truths every follower of Jesus needs to know, understand, and LIVE because what you believe shapes how you see EVERYTHING. Your relationships. Your decisions. Your habits. Your fitness. Your nutrition. Your purpose. Your eternity. A biblical worldview isn’t adding a little Jesus to the way the world has taught us to think. We START with GOD and His Word, and then we see everything else through the lens of His TRUTH. We’ll talk about why you need to know what you believe and WHY you believe it, why Christianity invites us to think and examine the evidence, why the bodily resurrection of Jesus is central to our faith, and what all of this looks like in your everyday walk with Jesus. Because if JESUS really is who He says He is... it changes EVERYTHING. Press play, grab your Bible, and let’s WARRIOR UP! I'd love to hear your thoughts after you listen. Share this episode with someone who has questions about the Bible and Jesus or is searching for the truth. ******** For more Christ-centered encouragement, workouts, and resources, visit crosstrain180.com Subscribe to my YouTube channel for Christ-centered workouts & much more: CrossTrain180 with Amy Smith 📕 Want to go deeper?

    Ep. 165 Who Is Jesus, Really? | Part 4: The Evidence That Demands a Decision

    Send us Fan Mail Who is Jesus, REALLY? This may be one of the most important questions we will ever answer because what we believe about Jesus affects EVERYTHING. In Part 4 of our “Who Told You That?” series, we’re digging into what Jesus actually said about Himself, what Scripture says about who He is, and why Christians believe that Jesus isn’t simply a good teacher, prophet, or spiritual leader. He is GOD, He is Savior, and He is the ONLY way to the Father. We’ll look at 5 distinct claims Jesus made that explicitly or implicitly reveal His deity and His oneness with the Father. We’ll also dig into the incredible truth of Colossians 1:15–23, parts of Hebrews 1, and other Scriptures that show us exactly who Jesus is. I also briefly compare what several other religions and belief systems teach about Jesus, including Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Hindu traditions, and Buddhism, because they don’t all say the same thing about Him. And what we believe matters. But I want to take this even deeper. If we’re going to become WHOLE and truly FIT in spirit, mind, and body, we have to start with JESUS. We can work on our bodies. We can eat better. We can exercise. We can chase goals and build better habits. But if our spirit is out of alignment, our WHY eventually gets out of alignment too. When JESUS becomes the center, our WHY changes. We don’t just want a stronger body. We want a body that is ready to serve Him. We don’t just want a healthier mind. We want a mind renewed by His truth. We don’t just want to live longer. We want to LIVE the life God has given us wholeheartedly and use it for His glory. That is what being spiritually fit is all about. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 So open your Bible, open your heart, and come dig into this with me. Because if Jesus really IS who He claimed to be, then we can’t just admire Him. We have a decision to make. Who do YOU say Jesus is? And is He truly at the CENTER of your life? I'd love to hear your thoughts after you listen.

    Ep. 164 Can You Trust the Bible? | Part 3: The Evidence That Changes Everything

    Send us Fan Mail Can you really trust the Bible? In a world that says, "Your truth is your truth," how do we know what is actually true? In this episode series of The Warrior Up Podcast, we're taking an honest look at one of the most important questions you can ask: Is the Bible reliable? We'll explore the historical evidence, archaeological discoveries, ancient manuscripts, and fulfilled prophecy that have given millions of believers confidence that God's Word is trustworthy. My prayer is that this conversation will strengthen your faith, equip you to confidently share the hope you have in Jesus, and encourage you to know God more deeply through His Word. Because our faith isn't built on wishful thinking or blind belief. It's rooted in the truth of God's revealed Word and ultimately in the person of Jesus Christ.
