How do you stay consistent? It requires HEART CHANGE! Take our 2 SImple Steps to Begin the Process of Heart Change: Look at your life. There is something you are doing or not doing consistently and/or with discipline. Recognize that you do have some discipline in your life.  Ask God to join in the area you’d like to focus on.

    Living Gently and Gracefully with Balance and Consistency

    Living Gently and Gracefully with Balance and Consistency  Welcome to Episode #55 of the  Simple Steps for the Whole You Podcast! All-or-nothing living, it can be exhausting and can really pile on the shame. Today, Michelle and Lisa discuss a different way to live: full of gentleness, grace, balance, and consistency.  When you draw from our gentle and humble Jesus, you will find rest. Just as our scripture today says.  Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Lisa writes about this verse being pivotal in her healing in her book, Grace-Filled Habits. Simple Steps:  Take stock of your life. What area is not filled with gentleness and grace? Work, family, health, body image, habits, organization, etc. Write down one less than compassionate thought you notice you think or say about yourself in that area. Draw a line through it and write a compassionate thought, full of gentleness and grace.

    Interview with Ashlee Stohler: The Long Obedience. An Interview about Body Shame

    Interview with Ashlee Stohler: The Long Obedience. An Interview about Body Shame Ashlee is a wife and mother of 4 miracle babies. She works in the marketing department for a Christian wellness ministry called Revelation Wellness. (www.revelationwellness.org) Ashlee has swung on the pendulum of obsessing and neglecting her body. Through many years of infertility and loss, she always looked at her body as a problem to be solved. Her extreme efforts to "fix" her body only left her more defeated and hopeless until she surrendered all of her plans to the Lord. She continues to walk out this long obedience to the Lord and has found so much healing along the way. She hopes that she will make a generational impact on her daughters in how they view and care for their bodies. Find Ashlee here: @ashleestohler4  You will not want to miss today’s interview with Ashlee. She is a woman who has experienced much in her lifetime and has allowed the Lord to transform her pain into purpose. Listeners will learn about her progression of healing body shame, the way she experiences different levels of freedom, how all this healing is transforming her parenting, and the small steps she takes to continue to live in freedom! We believe everyone will be able to relate to some portion of today’s episode; man, woman, young, and old…it’s for you! You will WANT TO SHARE THIS INTERVIEW WITH A FRIEND!
