    162: The Power of No: How to Gain More Energy, Peace, and Thriving Health
    Aug 27 2025

    Are you ready to have more energy, thriving health, and lasting peace—but feel like you’re constantly stuck in survival mode? In this episode, we talk about the hidden trade-off behind every decision: every “yes” you say is also an automatic “no” to something else. If you want to step into a season of better health and peace, you’ll need to get intentional about what you allow in—and what you choose to cut out.

    This episode is especially for Christian women who are balancing family, health struggles, homeschooling, and busy schedules, and who want to align their choices with God’s design for wellness. You’ll walk away with practical examples, biblical encouragement, and motivation to say yes to the things that matter most—and no to the distractions holding you back.

    Episode Highlights

    • 00:00 – The unseen trade-off of every “yes”

    • 00:28 – Why better health requires time, money, or discipline

    • 00:58 – Shopping sprees vs. gym memberships and high-quality food

    • 01:24 – How Netflix binges quietly steal your rest and energy

    • 01:51 – Why even good things may need seasons of rest

    • 02:16 – Replacing negative influences with uplifting community

    • 02:44 – Social media and text distractions vs. quality time with loved ones

    • 03:12 – Building structure in homeschooling by letting go of other tasks

    • 03:42 – Teaching kids independence to free up your energy

    • 04:11 – Why saying yes to health means saying no to something else

    • 04:40 – Choosing spiritual habits that create lasting peace

    Key Takeaways

    • Every yes is also a no—your choices either fuel or drain your health.

    • Distractions like social media, overspending, or too much TV quietly rob you of peace and energy.

    • Even good commitments may need to be set aside for a season in order to rest and recharge.

    • Productivity isn’t just about time management—it’s about attention management.

    • Saying no helps you protect your God-given energy, peace, and priorities.

    Practical Tips to Protect Your Peace

    • Focus on attention management rather than cramming more into your schedule.

    • Replace multitasking with single-tasking for greater energy and focus.

    • Build in mental fitness habits: sleep, prayer, healthy nutrition, uplifting books, and quality relationships.

    161: How Does God Speak? Testing Christian Cliches Against the Bible
    Aug 20 2025
    Introduction: Why This Episode Matters Have you ever heard a Christian saying that sounds powerful—but left you wondering, is that actually in the Bible? In this episode, we unpack two of the most popular phrases floating around church culture: “God whispers and Satan shouts.” “God helps those who help themselves.” You’ll discover what Scripture really says about how God speaks, why these clichés can be misleading, and how to develop biblical discernment in a world full of noise. 👉 This episode is for: Christians who want to hear God’s voice clearly Believers who want to test popular Christian sayings against the Bible Women and families seeking Christian wellness and healthy spiritual habits Episode Breakdown: Hearing God’s Voice vs. Popular Sayings 00:01 – Why catchy Christian phrases can be spiritually dangerous 00:30 – Examining the saying: “God whispers and Satan shouts” 01:00 – 1 Kings 19: God speaks in a low whisper 01:28 – Exodus 19: God answers in thunder 02:56 – Matthew 3: God’s voice at Jesus’ baptism 03:24 – Acts 9: Jesus speaks directly to Saul on the Damascus road 03:54 – Genesis 3: Did the serpent shout at Eve, or quietly deceive? 05:23 – The danger of repeating unbiblical phrases 05:51 – Another common saying: “God helps those who help themselves” 06:51 – God as the Good Shepherd: pursuing lost sheep 07:16 – Matthew 18: God searches for the one who strays 08:40 – The truth: God helps those who can’t help themselves 09:36 – Biblical diligence vs. self-reliance 12:55 – Why you must know the Bible for yourself, not rely on “pastor backwash” 14:21 – The risk of watered-down church teaching 15:20 – Encouragement: Pray for a love for God’s Word Does God Always Whisper? What the Bible Really Says Many Christians assume God only speaks in a whisper. But Scripture shows He speaks in different ways—sometimes softly, sometimes with thunder, and often through people, circumstances, or His Word. Key point: Don’t limit God by expecting Him to always whisper. If you’re waiting for quiet when He’s speaking loudly through truth or correction, you may miss His voice. Is “God Helps Those Who Help Themselves” in the Bible? This saying is quoted in church circles, but it’s not found in Scripture. In fact, it contradicts the Gospel. God saves the lost, the weak, and the helpless. Salvation is a gift, not earned through effort. Diligence matters—but it’s not a replacement for God’s grace. Truth to hold onto: God pursues His people whether they are strong or struggling. How to Discern God’s Voice in a Noisy World Test everything against Scripture. Don’t just accept a quote because it sounds good. Be wary of watered-down teaching. The church can sometimes lean into culture at the cost of truth. Pray for discernment. Ask God to give you love for His Word and clarity when falsehoods creep in. Biblical Truths About God’s Voice, Satan’s Lies, and Misused Sayings God doesn’t always whisper—He speaks in many ways. Satan doesn’t always shout—his lies are often subtle and quiet. “God helps those who help themselves” is a myth—He helps the weak, the lost, and those who call on Him. Healthy Christian living requires discernment, Scripture study, and spiritual diligence.

Whether it’s postpartum recovery, the lines and silver hairs of aging, or the cultural pressure to stay youthful and thin, body image struggles are not just for teenagers. This episode of The Holistic Healing Podcast is for Christian women who want to align their view of their bodies with God’s Word and experience freedom from comparison and self-criticism. Today’s guest, Kasey Shuler, author of Love Beyond Looks: A Five-Week Bible Study on Body Image, shares how to: Anchor your self-worth in God’s unchanging truth Navigate postpartum and aging with gratitude instead of shame Help your kids build a Christ-centered body image Identify and replace negative self-talk with Scripture Break free from the thin ideal and media-driven beauty standards If you want to see yourself as fearfully and wonderfully made, this conversation will equip you with biblical truth, practical tools, and a renewed perspective on your body. Episode Highlights: Faith-Based Body Image Tips and Truths [00:31] Why body image is more than a teenage struggle — Kasey shares her postpartum experience and why women at every age need a biblical perspective. [01:26] The God who never changes — Why your worth must be rooted in God’s character, not fluctuating body changes. [03:18] The cultural obsession with youth — How beauty ideals affect self-worth and why the church should address them. [04:42] Smile lines as joy lines — Seeing aging as evidence of a life lived in gratitude and grace. [07:06] Postpartum compassion — Learning to honor your body for the miracles it has carried instead of criticizing it.

Aging is evidence of grace — Lines, wrinkles, and gray hair can be reminders of joy, wisdom, and God’s provision. Gratitude changes perspective — Thank God for what your body has done and continues to do. Know your influences — Family, peers, and media shape body image—replace harmful messages with biblical ones. Scripture renews your mind — Verses like Psalm 139:14 and 2 Corinthians 4:16 are powerful tools against body shame. Be intentional with your kids — Focus on character and heart, not appearance, when affirming them.

The Bible teaches that God looks at the heart rather than outward appearance (1 Samuel 16:7) and that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Your worth comes from being created in God’s image, not from meeting cultural beauty standards. Q: How can Christian women overcome postpartum body shame? Postpartum body changes are part of God’s design. Shift your perspective by thanking God for what your body has accomplished, such as carrying and nurturing life. Replace negative self-talk with Scripture, and focus on caring for your body out of gratitude rather than trying to “bounce back.” Q: How can I embrace aging as a Christian? Aging is a visible reminder of God’s grace and the life He has given you. Scripture calls gray hair a crown of glory (Proverbs 16:31). Focus on spiritual renewal (2 Corinthians 4:16) and view smile lines and other signs of aging as evidence of joy and wisdom. Q: How do I teach my kids a healthy, ...
