Moved by Him
Welcome to Moved by Him Podcast, created for the woman of faith who is craving conversation at the intersection of where Jesus, wellness, and culture meet. Learn to pray, worship, and seek the Word of God for answers that spiritually equip you to navigate the chaos and confusion of the fitness and nutrition world. As we read in 1 Timothy 4:8, “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” With our eyes fixed on eternity, let’s bring Jesus into our wellness journey and stand up against deception. We are Moved by Him!
