Choosing the Hard Things on Purpose brings former NFL fullback Heath Evans and weight-loss hero Chrissy Evans into a raw and hope-filled conversation about discipline, surrender, and the kind of transformation that lasts. Together with Ginny, they walk through the rock-bottom moments that reshaped their lives—false accusations, public collapse, a weight-loss surgery that didn’t work, and years of numbing habits that couldn’t quiet the deeper ache. Instead of breaking them, those seasons awakened them. Heath and Chrissy share how choosing the harder path—true discipline, uncomfortable honesty, spiritual grounding, whole-food nourishment, and meaningful daily habits—became the doorway to health, joy, and peace they had never experienced before.
Now raising six children—including a sibling group of four adopted out of the foster system—they talk candidly about fear, faith, and why real growth can’t come from shortcuts or comfort. In a culture that profits from keeping people overwhelmed, medicated, and afraid, Heath and Chrissy model a different way: building strong families by facing hard things head-on, grounding kids in truth, prioritizing time outside, and trusting God with every unknown. This conversation is bold, uplifting, and deeply human—a reminder that the good life isn’t the easy life, but the intentional one.
