Becoming Kingdom Fit

Choose Your Hard

“Is being super fit hard?” - a female college student

Me: “Hard is relative right?” (Said in a kind tone)

We get to choose our hard

 

In today's episode I talk about choosing our hard.  I get that alot of what keeps women from working to become fitter is that they think it's hard.

 

Truth is, it IS HARD.... it's really hard in the beginning, it's really hard when you've been trying for months or years and not seeing the results you want.  

 

With my new young friend, it wasn’t the time or place for a conversation but this is what I wanted to explain…

 

For me, this was harder

- Being depressed

- Being insecure, not knowing my worth, not feeling confident

- being overweight and uncomfortable in my body

- turning to food instead of God

 

So, 20 years ago, I started to choose the hard that was better for me and my son (I was a single mom then).

 

As a result, my life was COMPLETELY transformed!

 

And by God’s work in and through me, I’ve been coaching women through their hard for over a decade. 

 

It is hard, sis.

It is also true that it is possible.

It is also true that you deserve to live life and live in abundance…. staying stuck, depressed, or just simply uncomfortable for months and years is a much harder road and you are meant to experience greater things

 

I hope today's episode inspires you to get real with what is hardER for you....

is where you're at and the potential of being in the same spot or worse 6 months from now, a year from now harder than the potential hard of taking the next step towards your version of being fit?

Fight for Freedom, Risk Factors and Resources

In today’s episode I want to equip an in empower you in three areas

1. Plant a seed of when to stand for Freedom (the time is now)
2. Understanding Risk Factors for the current virus
3. Resources you may not be aware of
4. My experience with Covid 19

This episode is NOT about being a pro vaxer or anti vaxer.  This episode invites you to take a step back and look at mandates in terms of the precedent they set.  The mandate removes a freedom previously afforded to us such as medical choice, health privacy.  People's jobs are being threatened, children will be denied free education if their parents do not want their child to take this vaccine and exceptions, as I understand, are not being provided.

 

This is a critical point in our nation's history.  Even if you could make the argument that you believe in vax therefore the mandate does not impact you, please consider the precedent this sets.  It might not be a freedom you care about today but once the precedent is set it likely will be a freedom you care about that is on the list next.

Food is not your problem...

it's not a food problem, it's a thinking problem....

Are you striving or surrendered?

Sis, God wants you to claim His peace.  He wants you to enjoy life and enjoy it in abundance.  Yet all too often we fall in and out of a place of striving to make "it" happen.

Striving looks like; stress, anxiety, unhealthy pressure, worry, "no time", busy.

Striving looks like having a calendar of "doing" and time investments that do not align with God's word and order of priorities. 

IMO, these are God's priorities for us

- Personal relationship with God first

- Personal health and fitness in body and soul (lack of health/fitness, a diet of processed foods, becomes a distraction and inhibits your relationship with God and others)

- Helping our husbands and being moms

- THEN we get to add on our outward purpose and Kingdom calling ("work")

- Service in church or community (you may be serving the community through your business)

 

Surrender is a position God wants us to operate from. 

Surrender looks like...

Seeking God first each day (being in relationship with Him, learning His word, His ways, and inviting Him into our planning .... asking for His direction EACH DAY)

Then creating the goals, the vision, and the plan to execute it ... (He gives us our wants when we are intentional in our walk with Him. 

When we are doing our part to be in a relationship and seeking Him, we can be assured that as we mature in our faith, our wants or the wants He has given us)

Then take the daily actions that align with His Word, the vision, and the plan He has given you (for each aspect of life)

Then surrender the outcome, trust in His faithfulness, His time....

Operating from a position of surrender is choosing to be active participants while surrendering the timing of the result and outcomes.

Striving limits our greatest experience, impact, and outcomes.

Surrender opens a greater connection to peace, purpose, and fulfilling our greatest potential.

 

Trust me sis, I think it's a lesson and a distinction I'll be learning until the day He chooses to call me home.

He knows your heart and your intentions.

I encourage you to take this to prayer, where do fall right now?

Are you operating from a position of striving or surrender?

If you would love to learn how to spend more time in surrender and be surrounded by women with common focus and goals then join us in our free Facebook community The Faith Fitness and Freedom Community

Are you missing out on God moments?

Sis!! Listen up please, you could be missing opportunities for God to work in and through you. 

Yes, He works all things out for our good!

It is also true that He plants seeds and we get to chose to be in action for them. 

He gives you the gifts, the unique purpose and in His love and character, He also gives you the power to chose it, or not. 

So let me ask you, do you turn to Him for all things or do you go to Him for some things or just some of the time? 

Do you find yourself turning to food instead of God?

Do you find yourself turning to business, striving and doing (even for good, even with the best of intentions) instead of surrendering and going to God when you are anxious or even celebrating?

Do you find yourself looking for affirmation in a relationship or the opinions of others instead of God?

I get it.  I've been there. 

And I now know all of the moments when I turned to something other than God...

I missed the opportunity for Him to fill my need, provide the discernment or wisdom or love or comfort or even the clarity for the next step and the opportunity to grow deeper in my relationship with Him.

Yes, I am GRATEFUL for my walk with Him. 

Grateful for all the work He's done in and through me.   

He has 100% worked it all out for my good and continues to!! AMEN!

But how much longer did it take me because of missed opportunities to go to Him along the way? 

And how much can I be of help to you, in your walk, if I can encourage you to be aware and don't miss the opportunities He's placed on your path. 

Listen to today's episode so that you can consider and look for your missed opportunities and how to lean in to Him so you don't miss out in the future.  

What if he was wrong?

In today's episode, I want to share what might be a fresh and powerful perspective on comparison.

We've all heard the Theodore Rosevelt quote, "Comparison is the thief of all joy" 

But is it ALWAYS? 

In a recent quiet moment with God I came to the conclusion that it is dependent on the intention and condition of your heart.  

Comparison is the thief of all joy when you use it or let the enemy use it to condemn you.

Comparison can also lead you into complacency and settling for less than what God has for you when you compare where you are to a lower standard than what is meant for you.

Comparison can also empower you to thrive when you use it to be reminded of what is possible for you.

Take a listen to this quick share as I describe each facet so that YOU can break free from the comparison that keeps you playing small and THRIVE using comparisons that will empower you!

IF this episode is helpful please do me a favor by sharing it with a friend and leaving a review so that it gets shared with more women just like you!  thanks sis! 

Feeling Peace IN The Hard

Ever wonder what it actually means to have a personal relationship with God? And/or HOW to build a relationship with Him? Are you going through something hard and you are struggling your way through it?  If yes, this Faith Fitness and Freedom podcast episode is for you.

I share, IMO, what it means to have a personal relationship with God and how to cultivate it so that you can experience His presence and all that He has for you.  

 

I was recently asked by someone who was raised in a church her entire life what it is like and or HOW you create a feeling of relationship with God.  It reminded me there is a very real difference between religion and creating a personal relationship with God and TOO many women don't know what is possible for them!

 

I also talk about the FACT that not only CAN God handle ALL your emotions and that He cares about ALL your details... He WANTS you to come to Him with them.  

 

When we choose to go to Him vs some sort of vice (like food) THAT is when we allow Him to truly do the work we need (heal, learn, get wisdom, direction, discernment, find peace….) and that is when the depth of our relationship with Him grows the most. 

 

I’d love to hear from you about this episode!  Find me on Social media under Rebecca Tabbert and/or join our private group on Facebook The Faith Fitness and Freedom Community! 

 

If you find this helpful will you also leave a review on iTunes and share it with a girlfriend that you believe will be blessed by it?  Not only will you be helping your girlfriend, you will also help me boost the algorithms so that iTunes and various platforms place in front of sisters we don’t YET know but just might need to hear this too!  Thank you! 

How To Pray With Greater Power ....

A small tweak in HOW I pray has proven to create a powerful and unexpected response and result. 

I share a vulnerable insight into how this one tweak brought me to feeling undone by God's chastening, only to come out the other side with a literal transformed heart and gratitude. 

I share why it is SO critical that we proactively pray for God to show us what we do not see, and the what we remember the Enemy is a schemer and he will use every inch you give him to leverage a divide, division, distraction, discouragement and left unchecked... destruction. 

I am sharing one of the most powerful lessons to date in my 20 year walk with God.

Body Battle From Within

In today's episode I share a message that is strong on my heart and has been coming from many angles.  I pray you recieve it the way you are meant to hear it...  When we battle with weight is a means in which the enermy has a foothold to keep us distracted just enough to put a regulator on our ability to full know, experience and give our greatest potential in our purpose....

“I beseech you therefor, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service”  Romans 12:1

God does not care if you have six pack abs 

However He does call us to honor our bodies. 

By your food choices, are you feeding your body health or dis-ease

By your choose in daily movement are you strengthening your body or enabling weakness?

Choosing what is for your highest good, choosing to honor God in this way is not easy...

In fact, through my own personal journey and coaching women for over a decade, I know taking time and attention to care for our bodies is HARD.

Ever wonder why?

Ever consider the why might be because the enemy knows it’s a subtle foothold that women all to often over look... (supported by societal norms)

So, we tolerate the battle between comfort food, convenience and creating healthy thoughts, and habits that align with our highest good.

“And do not be conformed of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God” Romans 12:2

We are not called to lead common lives and blend in with society.

We are called to higher standards

You are created on purpose for a unique and greater purpose

The enemy would love nothing more than to get you discouraged or distracted

JUST enough distraction or discouragement to create static in your ability to hear, pursue and live our your fullest and greatest purpose.

Don’t let the enemy have a foothold through physical discomfort and/or a bondage to food

This battle is not easy to overcome it is 100% possible

I am living proof that it’s possible and there’s even more for you and in you on the other side of it

First step is awareness

Second step is intentionally do the inner work.... it starts with your thoughts not the foods

What should your next step be?

Sis, Expect Resistance

I hope you enjoy today's podcast as we call the enemy out so that you can not only expect resistance but be encouraged and FIGHT!

 

The start of this week was one of those waves of resistance ....

BUT not today Satan

Today I WIN because today I recognized I was letting the resistance get to me.

I was slipping into discouragement, comparison and doubting so I FOUGHT BACK by spending extra time in God's word and His presence this morning.

I stayed focused on Him until I knew I was anchored back to His truth and presence at the level required to do the work He has called me to do.

No weapon formed against us shall prosper

Sis, expect the resistance and chose to put on His armor and take up the one offensive weapon He gave us - His word
