[49] Meditation Monday - Hebrews 4:12-13 - The Word of God is alive

Today's meditation is Hebrews 4:12-13, a reminder of the power of God's Word.

 

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

 

Please pray for Stephany Sanchez Scott's second battle with cancer. Stephany is a 30-year old wife and mama of two littles who recently just beat breast cancer and is now facing brain cancer. Prayer warriors, PLEASE RISE FOR STEPH!

[48] Stay in the Fight with Hannah Brencher - Faith Friday

Happy #FaithFriday! Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Hannah Brencher! Hannah is an author, blogger and TED Speaker. She founded The World Needs More Love Letters, a global community that sends letter bundles to those who need encouragement. How awesome is that?!

 

Hannah's incredible new book, Fighting Forward: Your Nitty Gritty Guide to beating the lies that hold you back, is out in the world! This book is so good, friends. I have been so touched by everything Hannah shares and have had such a perspective shift from reading this book.

 

At the darkest point in a life-altering depression, Hannah took a silver marker and titled a composition book "Fight Song." She needed a bold counter-move against the lies that were dragging her down into a spiral of fear and anxiety. So she poured hope-filled truths and affirmations in that notebook as a practice of fighting for a better story. Drawn from those glow-in-the-dark words, Fighting Forward is a heap of hope for those who long to move from anxiety and fear into action steps.

 

I love this conversation with Hannah and I hope you enjoy it too!

 

You can buy the book on Amazon or anywhere books are sold. Connect with Hannah at hannahbrencher.com.

[47] Meditation Monday - Isaiah 41:10 - Do not fear for God is with you!

[45] Following Jesus, not diets with Erin Todd - Testimony Tuesday

Today I have the absolute pleasure of chatting with Erin Todd, from the Intuitive Eating for Christian Women Podcast, and hearing her testimony from disordered eating and perfectionism to finding freedom in Jesus. Her motto is follow Jesus, not diets. YES SISTER! Couldn't agree more. 

 

Erin was a slave to skinny until Jesus set her free. Now she teaches women how to make peace with food and their bodies. She is passionate about helping women heal from the wounds of diet culture and discover, as she has, that their weight is not their worth.

[41] Walking through Grief, in Loving Memory of Paula Santistevan - Wellness Wednesday

Here's an interesting take on Wellness Wednesday. Grief can affect our overall wellness. God wants to walk with us in that grief.

 

If you are grieving through the loss of someone, I am praying for the peace of God to wash over you and comfort you. Take your pain to the cross. Go to His Word for truth. Do not let bitterness take root in your heart.

 

If you need prayer or someone to talk to, please email me at wellnessandtheword@gmail.com or message me on Instagram at ryannechannell. Hugs, friend.

 

This episode is in loving memory of Paula Santistevan, my cousins beautiful wife who suddenly and tragically passed away this year.
