    7-Week Master Class on Transformation
    Jan 11 2025
    The live 7-Week Master Class on Transformation Begins January 28, 2025!!! Do you ever say, “I can’t believe I’ve been a Christian for x number of years and I’m still struggling with this?” Are you reluctant to work on transformation because you’re afraid you’ll fail like you did last time? Do you have some area of your life where you feel stuck? My guess is that we can all answer “yes” to at least one of those questions. It’s discouraging to fail over and over again. Romans 12:2 tells us that the answer to our struggles is to renew our minds. But there are two problems with this approach: 1) We don’t necessarily know what that means or 2) we do know how to renew our minds but we can’t make ourselves do it consistently enough to see transformation. My 7-Week Master Class on Transformation will help you with both of those problems. We’ll get together, each choose an area of our lives to work on, and work together on transformation. What area of transformation would you like help with? Here are a few areas you may want to work on during this transformation class: Break a habit such as overeating, overspending, or too much time on your phone even though you have zero discipline in that area.Achieve a goal such as writing a book, developing a habit of consistently completing your to-do list each day, or starting a business even if you’re a born procrastinator and can’t make yourself work on your project or list.Break free from a negative emotion like anger, worry, discontentment, and insecurity even if that emotion has been with you as long as you can remember. Often we think we can’t let go of the negative emotions. Our only hope is to escape them with some self-destructive behavior, stuff them, or control our behavior so the emotion doesn’t hurt ourselves and others. But the truth is, God can help us let go of those negative emotions situation by situation and live in peace and joy (Galatians 5). We’ll learn how to do that in this class. What are some side benefits (but often the biggest benefits of all) of working on transformation? No matter what practical area you choose to work on, God will use the transformation process to help you achieve the following goals: Grow closer to God and more excited about your times with Him as you develop the practical habit of carrying each thought captive to the truth through the renewing of the min.Live in peace and joy as you learn how to corral, process, and let go of the thoughts that are swirling in your head, threatening to drive you crazy.Improve relationships and learn how to love others better as you grow in the fruit of the Spirit. What is the set up of the class? Here are a few features of the class: It will be live. We’ll meet on Zoom but the sessions will also be recorded if you can’t make it.I’ll give 15-30 minutes of instruction but we’ll be pausing during the class to apply what I teach to the area of your life that you want to work on.We’ll meet once a week for seven sessions but I’ll have six weeks of homework for you to do during the week to apply what you learned to the area of your life you’re working on.At the end of each class, I’ll have breakout rooms where you can share how you did with your renewing each week and what God taught you during the week.You’ll also have a chance to find accountability partners. When will the class start? The class will begin on January 28, 2025. We will meet weekly for 7 sessions on Tuesdays at 12:00 EST. Each class will be be 1 to 1 1/2 hours long. What if I can’t make the live sessions? If you can’t make the live sessions, I’ll have a replay available by the next day, possibly sooner. The replays will be available until at least 6/1/25, possibly longer, so that you have time to do the class. What is the cost of the class? Although classes like this are often quite expensive, I want everyone to be able to take it, so I’m offering the class at $27 USD. Is there a deadline for signing up for the class? Yes, the deadline is January 28, 2025. This is not an on-demand class so even if you plan to take it later, you’ll need to sign up now so I can email you links to the class videos and homework each week. Where can I sign up?

  • Maintaining a 150-Pound Weight Loss with God's Help with Stacey

    Maintaining a 150-Pound Weight Loss with God's Help with Stacey
    Dec 11 2024

    Six years ago, Stacey had just lost 150 pounds. Today - she is still living in victory! Many who are successful in weight loss, unfortunately, have difficulty keeping it off and continuing to live in freedom. My conversation with Stacey today on the Taste for Truth Podcast is chock full of insight about not only how to lose the weight, but also maintaining a 150-pound weight loss with God's help.

    Listen to my first interview with Stacey here.

    What We Discussed on the Podcast

    • How Stacey has become totally free from cravings
    • How putting in the work with one particular practice has helped keep the weight off this time
    • The reasons that Stacey used food to numb and be "invisible"
    • How to manage the social difficulties that arise when following boundaries with food
    • Navigating some different challenges after the weight started coming off
    • The first step to change

    Resources Mentioned on the Podcast

    • I Deserve a Donut
    • Upcoming Online Courses
    • Counseling Resource
    • Taste for Truth
    • Freedom from Emotional Eating
    • Say Goodbye to Emotional Eating

    Announcements

    I also wanted to mention that I will be tapering off and ultimately ending the Taste for Truth Podcast in January of 2025. I will still be doing my Christian Habits Podcast, and all of the past Taste for Truth episodes will still be available! I'm just at a place in my life where I need to find a work-life balance that is sustainable, and going down to one podcast seems like a very helpful way to do that.

    I am also planning to give online course creation a try. If you are interested in staying informed about that, click here.

  • Losing 150 Pounds with God's Help with Stacey [Replay]

    Losing 150 Pounds with God's Help with Stacey [Replay]
    Nov 6 2024

    [This interview was originally published on 10/10/2018.]

    Have you ever been completely hopeless about weight-loss? Do you think you've tried it all, and you are on the verge of giving up? My guest today, Stacey, felt exactly the same. However, with God's help, she has been able to lose (and maintain) a 150 pound weight loss!

    Today on the Taste for Truth Podcast, I am doing something I have rarely (if ever!) done before: replaying a very encouraging interview! One reason for doing this is because I recently had a second interview with the same person, Stacey, and she has successfully kept the weight off for over 6 years! I wanted it to be easy to have a frame of reference between the first and second episodes. The new interview with Stacey will come out in December.

    Stacey followed a program where she had to cut out sugar and white flour and plan out what she would eat each day.

    One of the problems with programs like this is that we feel like life is boring because we can't have sugar. Towards the end of the podcast, Stacey shares how she deals with that issue, renewing her mind before she enters into situations where she might feel like she's missing out by not eating sugar.

    Whether you follow Stacey's boundaries or not, you'll be able to learn from her experience as she goes to God for help with life.

    What We Discussed on the Podcast

    • What the difference was this time that led to Stacey's 150 pound weight loss
    • The revelation of how we often use food isn't what God intended
    • How Stacey was able to stay the course, even through her strong cravings
    • Different strategies for renewing the mind
    • Lies that Stacey had to work through when getting to maintenance

    I also wanted to mention that I will be tapering off and ultimately ending the Taste for Truth Podcast sometime in January or, at the latest, February, of 2025. I will still be doing my Christian Habits Podcast, and all of the past Taste for Truth episodes will still be available! I'm just at a place in my life where I need to find a work-life balance that is sustainable, and going down to one podcast seems like a very helpful way to do that.
