Revelation Wellness- Healthy & Whole

When Kerry received a diabetes diagnosis and was offered a shot, she felt a quiet check in her spirit—convicted there was another way. She chose whole foods, consistent movement, and faith in God's possibility. Result: 31 pounds lost and A1C lowered naturally—no meds needed. But like so many of us, Kerry still struggled with evenings—that tired pull toward a "reward" snack when the day finally winds down. In this episode, Alisa coaches Kerry (and us) on why evening cravings hit hard, what's happening biologically after dinner, and how to meet those moments with kindness, wisdom, and Spirit-led alternatives. Key Insights Cravings are, at their root, a search for relief How hormones can sometimes make the journey feel harder The reliable path forward: whole foods in healthy portions, consistent movement, and giving the body time to heal and settle at its natural set point Why Evenings Feel So Tough Decision fatigue + shifting circadian rhythms reduce impulse control Dopamine is actively seeking reward while

Kick off the year strong—train with Alisa! She's training you to love God and your body. So get moving: take a simple walk, ride your bike, or go for a run. This workout is where biology meets theology! Biologically change your markers of good health while drawing closer to God. Key Scripture: Jeremiah 17:7 (NIV) "But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him." Alisa presses into one powerful truth: We're all affected by the desire to change our bodies—especially as New Year's goals focus on weight loss. Key Message: "Weight gain is about safety lost." Quoteworthy: "How many of us are trying to get our bodies to look like something for the world to applaud?" You were wired to know God. Will you turn to Him? Be reconciled to Him. Every step you take today, make it one that draws you closer to Him. Alisa also teaches the difference between good stress (eustress) and anxiety, helping you understand how trusting God brings true safety and peace. Playlist: Honeydew (Praise the Lord) by

Grab your jingle bells and let's move with some merry in this REVING the Word Christmas workout! We're moving our bodies with FUN—not striving for skinny or trying to "fix" ourselves. Let's exercise some pure JOY! Key Scripture: John 1:14 (NIV) "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." What to Expect in This Episode: A light-hearted movement session with bouncing and joyful energy—think light steps and a gentle bounce to keep things fun and uplifting.

In this honest and reflective episode, Alisa sits down with fan-favorite Ashlee Stohler to unpack the complicated legacy of The Biggest Loser – the reality TV phenomenon that dominated the 2000s and promised life-changing transformations through extreme weight loss. Once celebrated as an inspiration, the show is now widely criticized for its harmful methods and long-term consequences. Alisa and Ashlee dive deep into how it amplified the toxic diet culture of the era, and why its messages still linger today. Key Topics Discussed: The dark reality behind the dramatic transformations: extreme calorie restriction, grueling workouts, and public weigh-ins that often led to metabolic damage, slowed metabolisms, and near-inevitable weight regain. The underlying message that bodies are a problem to be "fixed" – and how that fueled shame, punishment mentality, and the idea that thinness equals worth. How the show reinforced the illusion of quick, permanent change – and why sustainable health looks nothing like a marat

Get ready to move your body and hear the Word of God! This REVING the Word endurance training session blends movement with biblical teaching on whole brain, whole body theology. Discover how physical activity activates more of your emotional brain (limbic system), allowing God's truth to sink deeper than just reasoning or information alone. Exercise isn't just good for your body—it's good stress (eustress) that builds resilience and opens your heart to receive from the Lord. Key Scripture: Haggai 2:7-9 (NIV) What to Expect in this Episode: Move to Engage the Whole Brain: Science shows that movement lights up the emotional centers of the brain, helping us process God's Word not just intellectually, but experientially—heart, soul, mind, and strength. Exercise as Good Stress: Physical activity is the healthy kind of stress your body needs, countering the bad stress of life and preparing you to receive God's peace. The Reminder of Rebellion: When we resist God's call (like ignoring our bodies as His temple), He

Grab your shoes and let's hit the road (or trail, or treadmill)—today is an endurance workout! We're keeping a steady, strong pace while letting God's Word settle deep into our hearts, bodies, and bones. Aaron's coming to you live from the deserts of Arizona, reminding us that if you're moving, you're doing it right. This isn't about another rigid routine—it's about finding a rhythm that serves YOU so you can serve what God has put in front of you today. We're diving into the truth that God has already given you EVERYTHING you need for what He's called you to TODAY. If discontent is loud, it's pointing straight to the places we're trusting Him the least. Time to move, breathe, surrender, and play again. Key Scripture: Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV) "…I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances… I can do all this through him who gives me strength." What to Expect in This Episode: A soul-stirring endurance pace that keeps you moving without burning you out Raw, honest teaching on contentment, aging well

Lace up your shoes, grab your mat, or hit the pavement—today is an interval workout! We're moving our bodies with purpose while training our hearts and souls in the truth of God's Word. God's Word isn't just a band-aid, it's a healing salve that goes deep. Even when life feels hard, we are reminded that we have good bodies, bodies filled with Your life and breath. Every inhale is an invitation to surrender, every exhale a chance to release. In this workout Alisa brings a fresh take on a familiar passage. This isn't about the size of your faith—it's about the kind of faith that moves mountains because it's rooted in the One who speaks and creation obeys. Key Scripture: Matthew 17:14-20 (NIV) "…He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'" What to Expect in This Episode: High-energy intervals paired with truth-filled coaching to keep

In the rush of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in the pace and the demands—so much so that we forget the nearness and presence of God. This guided Scripture meditation invites you to do something radical: slow down, breathe, and enter a tangible time of rest. Through gentle reflection on Hebrews 12:2, you'll have space to become aware of what's weighing on your heart, release the things that bind you or hold you back, and hand them over to Jesus—the author and perfecter of our faith. Leave this time strengthened, carrying renewed peace, love, and joy deep in your soul and even in your body. Perfect for bedtime, a quiet afternoon, or any moment you need to recenter in God's presence. Come as you are. Leave lighter. Key Scripture: "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." — Hebrews 12:2 (NIV) What to Expect in This Episode: A slow, soothing introduction
