Living Transformed Caroline Ward

In episode 5, OBGYN, Dr. Mercer, encourages us with practical application tips for taking care of our health as women. Caroline and Cindy dive into the importance of embracing the journey and staying present in each moment of our lives. By trusting the path that God has laid out for us, we can let go of comparisons with others and focus on our unique journey. It's a reminder to develop a deep, unwavering faith in God, recognizing that every step of our path has purpose and meaning. By surrendering to this truth, we can find peace and fulfillment in our individual journeys, knowing that God's plan for each of us is beautifully distinct and purposeful.

Increase protein intake
 
Cindy’s tips for optimizing our health: 
Prioritize sleep
Healthy diet
Regular exercise
Quiet time or meditation to center thoughts
Age-appropriate screening

Cindy’s reminders for spiritual and mental health:
Choose a verse to rehearse/memorize
Jeremiah 29:11, Psalm 54:3, Psalm 46:10, James 1:19
Have an attitude of gratitude
What we fill our brains with is what will come out in our hearts
Show love, feel love, be surrounded by love
 
Psalm 40: 1-3, 11: 
“I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God…Do not withhold your mercy from me, LORD; may your love and faithfulness always protect me.” 
 
Jeremiah 29:11:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
 
Psalm 46:10:
“He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.’”

How deep connections and relationships increase longevity. 
Episode 4 will encourage you in building relationships and community. Caroline speaks on the correlation between deep friendships and longevity. All over the world, “blue zones” are where individuals are living 100+ years. Research shows this is linked to prioritizing a strong, safe community and developing intentional deep relationships. 
 
Carla speaks to the importance of maintaining a balanced, healthy spiritual and social life. She says that our spiritual life is in the center, holding everything together. All other areas of life are branches of that: relational, physical, mental, emotional, social, etc. Think of a bicycle wheel. The hub, or center axis, is our relationship with God and spiritual wellbeing. Everything else are the spokes stemming from that. Carla and Caroline delve into practical ways to foster and maintain lifelong relationships. 
 
Proverbs 17:17 reads, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.”
 
1 Peter 4:8 reads, “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
 
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 reads, “For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.”
 
Carla leaves us with this simple, but life changing truth: “Know Him”. To know Him is to love Him.

Episode 3 will encourage you with practical ways to transform your physical health. My good friend and TransFit Personal Trainer & Running Coach, Lisa Patton, provides us with ways to take your whole body health to the next level. This episode is embedded with fundamental truths and Scripture which reminds us that being healthy looks different for everyone. She reminds us the importance of play, and enjoying the things we did when we were young. She challenges us with the takeaway to “never stop playing.” You will be encouraged in the importance of choosing joy and seeing your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. 
 
It’s Romans 12:1 that reads “Offer your bodies as a living, sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. This is your true and proper worship.” This truth really explains our WHY. Why do you want to be healthy? Everyday we are to use our bodies to love and serve - this is how we love God. 
 
3 things to remember to take their physical health to the next level:
Be courageous! 
It doesn’t have to be “all” or “nothing”
Start playing
  
3 ways to lose fat and gain muscle mass: 
Level up: strength training and compound movements
Cardiovascular exercise: HIIT workouts
Nutrition: eating a balanced diet with high protein 
 
3 things to remember when you want to start running but don't know where to start: 
You are not alone
Run/walk method 
Incorporate strength and resistance 
 
Philippians 4:12-13 –  “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

Episode 2 will encourage women of all ages and give you practical tools to find joy in Christ and take captive toxic thoughts about comparison and negative body image. My daughter, Kaitlyn Ward, gives honest insight into what has impacted her most in her walk with the Lord. You will be inspired in your faith and with your family after hearing this message.
 
Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." 
 
This passage highlights the limitless power and capability of God. It reassures us that God is not bound by our limitations or expectations. He can do far more than we can even comprehend. God's plans for us exceed our own desires or prayers. Sometimes we limit ourselves by asking for only what we think is possible or reasonable, but God can surpass even our wildest dreams.
 
I pray this episode edifies you in your personal walk with God and serves as a reminder of everything He can do through you.
