    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. 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.

    Ep. 163 Who Is God, Really? | Part 2: The Question That Changes Everything

    Send us Fan Mail Last week we asked, "Who told you that?" This week we're asking an even bigger question: Who is God... really? The way you see God shapes the way you see everything else. If your view of Him has been formed by culture, painful experiences, or even what someone else has told you instead of Scripture, it changes the way you trust Him, follow Him, and even see yourself. In this episode, we'll discover how God has revealed Himself through creation, through His Word, and ultimately through Jesus Christ. We'll explore why knowing God changes everything, replacing false pictures of Him with the truth revealed in His Son. Because when we know God as He has revealed Himself, we begin to understand His Word, our identity, our purpose, and even why caring for our spirit, mind, and body matters. Key Scriptures: John 14:9 Hebrews 1:3 Colossians 1:15 Jeremiah 9:23-24 John 17:3 Romans 1:20 Psalm 19:1 I'd love to hear from you. What has helped you know God more deeply?

    Ep. 162 Who Told You That? | Part 1: Training Your Heart and Mind to Follow Jesus

    Send us Fan Mail Hey Fit Sister, Have you ever stopped and asked yourself, Who told me that? Every day, we're surrounded by voices telling us who we are, what matters most, and how we should live. But what if some of those voices aren't leading us toward Jesus at all? In this first episode of a brand-new series, we'll open God's Word together and discover why what we believe shapes every part of our lives. We'll go back to the Garden of Eden, talk about one of the most important lessons God taught me as a young woman, and learn how to train our hearts and minds to follow Jesus instead of the world. My prayer is that this episode helps you recognize the Shepherd's voice more clearly, stand firmly on the truth of Scripture, and joyfully surrender every part of your life to Him. Scriptures: Genesis 3, Romans 12:1-2, Proverbs 4:23, Luke 6:45, John 10:27, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and more.

    Ep. 161 What Does the Bible Really Say About Your Body? | A Christian Response to Body Positivity & Self-Love

    Send us Fan Mail Let’s talk, Fit Sister… What does the Bible really say about your body? We live in a culture filled with conflicting messages. Body positivity tells us one thing. Fitness culture tells us another. Social media, influencers, and the world all have opinions about how we should look, feel, and think about our bodies. But as Christian women, there’s a much more important question we need to ask: What does God say? In Episode 161 of the Warrior Up Podcast, we’re opening God’s Word and having an honest conversation about body image, body positivity, self-love, health, fitness, aging, and what it really means to honor God with the bodies He has given us. After more than 30 years in the fitness industry, I’ve watched women obsess over their bodies, hate their bodies, neglect their bodies, and make their bodies their identity. I’ve had to let God change some of my own thinking through the years too. The Bible gives us a better way. Aren’t you so thankful? In this episode, we’ll talk about: 💜 Why your body matters to God without becoming your identity 💜 What creation, the Fall, redemption, and resurrection teach us about our bodies 💜 The difference between body obsession, body hatred, and biblical stewardship 💜 Why caring for your health can become an act of worship 💜 How to think about weight, fitness, aging, hormones, pain, and physical limitations through a biblical worldview 💜 The question that can change the way you care for your body: “Lord, how can I honor You with the body You’ve entrusted to me today?” Your body is not your identity. Jesus is. (Can I get an Amen?) But your body does matter to God. He created it, Christ redeemed you, the Holy Spirit dwells within believers, and one day God will raise His people in glory. So instead of allowing culture to tell us how to think about our bodies, let’s go back to the truth of God’s Word and learn what it means to faithfully care for the bodies He has entrusted to us. If this episode encourages you, please share it with another woman who needs this reminder, and subscribe to the Warrior Up Podcast as we continue growing stronger together in spirit, mind, and body, not for our glory, but always for His. 💜✝️ ******** 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?
