  • Ep. 149 Strength Training Isn't Optional in Midlife, Fit Sister (Here's Why)
    Apr 22 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Fit Sister… If you’ve been feeling tired, weaker, or like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to… this episode is for you.

    Strength training is not just a “nice option.” It’s non-negotiable if you want to feel better, move well, and stay energized as you get older.

    And no… this isn’t about bodybuilding or spending hours in the gym.

    This is about:
    * Supporting your body
    * Strengthening your muscles and bones
    * Balancing your hormones
    * Showing up for your life and your calling with energy and confidence

    I’m also sharing something personal in this episode (about my dad and my mom) and how both of their stories shaped the way I see strength, health, and not taking this life for granted.

    Fit Sister… you don’t wait until something is taken from you to start taking care of your body. You start now. With what you have. With Jesus. And He is all that you need. Amen.

    “Do not grow weary in doing good…” (Galatians 6:9)

    In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
    • What strength training really is (and what it’s not)
    • Why it matters more than ever in midlife
    • The simple science behind how it helps your body
    • How to start, even if you feel tired, busy, or unsure

    Let’s do this together… with Jesus at the center. <3

  • Ep. 148 Why You Keep Starting Over in Fitness & How to Stay Consistent with Jesus
    Apr 15 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Fit Sister… this one is for you.

    Have you ever felt so motivated to start your fitness journey… only to lose momentum a few days or weeks later?

    You’re not alone, and there is so much hope in Jesus.

    In today’s episode of The Warrior Up Podcast, we’re getting to the root of why consistency feels so hard, and how to finally break the cycle… not by chasing feelings, but by standing firm in your identity in Christ.

    Because the truth is…
    Your feelings will come and go.
    But God’s truth never changes.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    Why motivation fades (and what’s really happening)

    The battle in your mind, and how to win it with God’s Word

    What science says about habits and how it aligns with Scripture

    How to stop starting over and start building true consistency

    Practical, faith-filled steps to help you show up, even when you don’t feel like it

    This is about more than workouts.
    This is about renewing your mind, strengthening your spirit, and learning to move your body from a place of being loved, not striving.

  • Ep. 147 Taking Care of Yourself is Not Selfish (It's Biblical)
    Apr 8 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Fit Sister… have you ever felt guilty for taking time to work out, eat well, or simply take care of yourself?

    Like you should be doing something for someone else instead?

    In this episode, we’re getting real about why so many Christian women believe taking care of themselves is selfish, and what God’s Word actually says.

    You’ll learn:
    • Why constantly pouring out can leave you exhausted and running on empty
    • What Jesus really meant when He said to love your neighbor as yourself
    • Why caring for your body is biblical stewardship, not vanity
    • How to shift your mindset so your health becomes an act of gratitude, not guilt

    This is your permission, Fit Sister, to stop neglecting yourself… and start caring for your body, mind, and spirit in a way that honors the Lord. Are you ready? Let’s jump in.

    Listen now and take your next step with Jesus. If this encouraged you: Please share it with a friend and come join us inside the Warrior Women for Jesus Tribe. We’d love to walk with you.

    And come join me on YouTube at CrossTrain180 with Amy Smith for Christ-centered workouts and more. We’re walking this out together, with Jesus at the center. Amen.
