Why This Works
10/16/2023
Why This Works
In Episode 7, Martha explores the key principles of weight loss with God. First and foremost, she emphasizes the importance of inviting the Holy Spirit into our health journey. Through a relationship with God, we discover how much He wants us to weigh and what we should be nourishing our bodies with. It's a holistic approach that encompasses both spiritual and physical well-being. One of the fundamental principles Martha highlights is eating when we're hungry and stopping when we're full. She encourages us to break free from the mindset of cleaning our plates and learn to listen to our bodies. By prioritizing the foods we enjoy and savoring each bite, we can cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Martha reminds us of the power of the Word of God when cravings strike but hunger is absent. By redirecting our focus to scripture and inviting God into the moment, we can find fulfillment beyond food. Sometimes the simple act of picking up our Bibles and reading can be enough to distract us from unnecessary snacking. [00:01:52] Inviting the Holy Spirit for healthy eating. [00:04:10] Cut food in half, eat slowly, control cravings. [00:09:10] Enjoy food responsibly and speak kind words. Ready for more with Martha? 1.

Declaration Edition: I Am Not A Garbage Disposal
In Episode 6 of our Declaration Edition Series, Martha Fry leads us on a journey of discovering who God says we are through powerful declarations. She reminds us that we are not mere garbage disposals meant to consume everything that comes our way. Rather, we have a loving God who is our ultimate provider. Today, she encourages us to declare our true identity, based on the 31 declarations outlined in Matt Fry's book, "I Am."These declarations are not just empty words but are rooted in the truth of God's Word. They speak of our worth, purpose, and belonging as children of God. By repeating them and internalizing their meaning, we can strengthen our faith and understanding of who we truly are. Ps.
