We serve Christians who desire to live fit, healthy, and at peace with God in both body and spirit.
We believe our health habits are meant to serve us, not rule us.
The body is not an enemy to conquer or a problem to fix. It is a gift entrusted to us, designed with wisdom, care, and purpose.
This mission is deeply personal to me because my own journey taught me that lasting change does not begin with control, discipline, or the right plan. It begins with listening, alignment, and learning to steward the body God has already called good.
I do not teach from a distance or from theory alone. I walk alongside others with humility, compassion, and lived experience, offering guidance shaped by both faith and understanding.
A Story of Listening and Awakening
For many years, I struggled with my weight and with emotional eating. Looking back, I can see that food had become a way of coping, a way of quieting discomfort, stress, and unmet needs. My body was communicating, but I did not yet know how to listen.
Outwardly, I appeared capable and composed. Inwardly, I felt discouraged, disconnected, and ashamed. As a Registered Nurse, I believed that the right diet or plan would finally bring peace. Instead, repeated cycles of restriction and regain left me feeling confused and defeated.
Everything began to shift on December 11, 2003.
I experienced sudden, intense chest pain and stood alone in my apartment, afraid to move, uncertain of what was happening in my body. In that moment of fear and stillness, I sensed God speak clearly and gently to my heart:
“It is not supposed to be this way.”
There was no condemnation in His voice. Only compassion, clarity, and invitation.
That moment marked a turning point. Not because everything changed instantly, but because I began to believe that God’s design included wholeness, peace, and care. I chose to trust that my body was not betraying me, but asking for attention, truth, and alignment.
From Misalignment to Stewardship
Over time, I came to understand that my struggles were not the result of personal failure or lack of willpower. They reflected seasons of misalignment, unaddressed emotional weight, and patterns that no longer served me.
As I learned to care for my body with patience and discernment, I experienced physical changes alongside deeper internal healing. My relationship with food shifted. My understanding of stewardship deepened. My identity, which had always been secure in Christ, became more fully lived out in daily choices.
Weight loss became one visible outcome of a much larger process, but it was not the measure of my worth or the source of my transformation. God’s love for me did not change with my size, and it does not change with yours.
If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your relationship with food or your body, you are not alone. There is space for learning, grace for growth, and freedom in understanding what your body is communicating.
A Stewardship-Centered Approach to Health
Through this journey, I learned that health is not a battle to win. It is a relationship to steward.
Caring for the body involves:
Growth happens gradually, through small, faithful steps. Identity comes first. Outcomes follow.
Why “Take Back Your Temple”
The name Take Back Your Temple is inspired by 1 Corinthians 6:19–20:
“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
This scripture reminds us that the body is important not because of how it looks, but because of whom it contains.
For me, Take Back Your Temple is a prayer of surrender and stewardship. It is an acknowledgment that God cares deeply about every part of our lives, including how we relate to our bodies. It is an invitation to walk closely with Him, allowing health and healing to draw us nearer to His heart.
Excess weight is not a moral failure. It is often a sign that something within needs care, support, or rest. Stewardship begins with compassion and truth.
God’s love remains constant whether you are a size 28 or a size 8. Your value has never been in question.
Walking Forward with Grace
My hope is that, together, we learn to glorify God in body and spirit through lives marked by peace, wisdom, and gratitude. As we walk in alignment with His design, others may see His goodness reflected through us.
There is no rush.
There is no fixing.
There is only faithful stewardship, one step at a time.
