    Ep 15 - From Fruitless Joys to Abundant Life: Trading the Rose for the Garden

    Welcome to Episode 14 of the Wellness God’s Way podcast. In this episode, we explore Augustine’s idea of “fruitless joys” and what it looks like to recognize the lesser things we often cling to in place of the fullness God is offering. Through the lens of health, wellness, and spiritual formation, we look at how daily habits reveal what we are truly reaching for when we are stressed, tired, or overwhelmed. This conversation invites a deeper reflection on the difference between temporary comfort and lasting, fruitful joy. As we consider what it means to live an abundant life, we are challenged to release what is small so we can receive what is truly satisfying in God. 💛 What You'll Learn in the Episode What Augustine meant by “fruitless joys” and how it applies to modern life How everyday habits can reflect what we turn to for comfort and relief The connection between spiritual intimacy with God and experiencing lasting joy How consistency in both physical health and spiritual practices shapes a flourishing life What it means to trade temporary satisfaction for the abundant life God promises 📖 Scripture Referenced John 10:10 Psalm 16:11 Nehemiah 8:10 John 1:16 John 15:11 Keep in touch with Kathy: Email: Kathy@kathywisniewski.com Website: www.trueandlastingwellness.com Follow the podcast on Instagram! @wellnessgodswaypodcast  Sign up for my newsletter! www.trueandlastingwellness.com/wgw Check out my other podcast, Tragically Beautiful I’d love to keep in touch!

    Ep 14 - It's No Longer a Struggle - It's a Choice!

    Welcome to Episode 014 of the Wellness God's Way podcast! This episode is a heartfelt and deeply personal conversation about the difference between a genuine struggle and a repeated choice — especially when God has been lovingly nudging us toward change for a long time. Kathy shares how a recent prayer asking God to reveal anything standing between her and His purpose led to conviction surrounding her physical health, discipline, and stewardship. Together, we explore the connection between spiritual wellness and physical wellness, why delayed obedience matters, and how habits can quietly become obstacles to the life God is calling us into. This episode is not about perfection or shame — it’s about alignment, surrender, and honoring God with every aspect of our lives. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you know you need to change, this conversation will encourage you to stop negotiating with conviction and start moving toward freedom. 💛 What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why God often answers our prayers for breakthrough with practical convictionThe difference between a genuine struggle and a repeated choiceHow repeated unhealthy habits can quietly become patterns of disobedienceThe importance of honoring God with your body as His templeThe powerful question that can reveal what may be standing in your own way 📖 Scripture Referenced Proverbs 19:211 Corinthians 6:19-20James 4:17Galatians 6:7-8Hebrews 12:11
