Todays episode is a bit deep for being about fitness but I know so many of us have been in bondage to the lie "Ill be happy if I lose the weight" "I'll be happy if I just had the abs" "I'll be happy if I felt sexier" etc etc etc , This is a constant hamster wheel of lies that can spiral and just cause more emptiness, defeat, and discouragement instead of just finding JOY, the pure joy of Jesus in your journey . I hope this episode gives some incite and guidance on how to find freedom from this b...
