Have you turned your boundary line into a boundary wall? If you find yourself lonely because of unrealistic boundaries, today you can take a sledge hammer and Bring.The.Wall.Down. I want us to have a real talk and address the issues of isolation and loneliness that many people experience. I want to emphasize: The importance of community and relationships The need for boundaries in friendships  The challenges that come with maintaining healthy relationships The different levels of friendships Friendship is not codependency In some cases we can find ourselves looking at our friends and thinking; “what the heck?” That’s because we don’t have a clear definition of what “friend" means and we’ve given access to the wrong people into our friendship circles. I want you to walk away knowing what friendship IS and IS NOT. Remember that true friendship and fulfillment can be found in Jesus.Tag me @biancaolthoff and let me know what healthy lines you’ve drawn in your life.Love you,BRESOURCES/LINKSFriends With Benefits // Relationship Boundaries // Bianca OlthoffTFHOC Miseducation of Love Series QuotePeople should be loved biblically, valued equally, but treated differently.TakeawaysThe benefits of community and relationships help against loneliness and isolationDifferent levels of friendship: casual, close & coreThe importance of investing in healthy friendships⋇Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here⋇Order Bianca’s new book GRIT DON’T QUIT⋇The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. ⋇So grateful to our sponsors!This episode is sponsored by NOTES® Candle.

Anthony shares his journey in music and writing, emphasizing the importance of seeking help and knowing one's worth. He also talks about:  Overcoming rejection The intersection of faith and therapy Stepping into opportunities outside of the church  Knowing when to say yes to new opportunities Trusting in God’s plan when you don’t understand it is difficult. But that’s exactly what Anthony has done and encourages us to do. You might not be able to see it right away, but your sacrifice will have a positive impact in other people’s lives.

Have you ever experienced church hurt? Is there an offense that has been causing you bitterness? If this is your case, I want you to know that I’m so sorry for the hurt that you have experienced. My friend, Pastor Larry Brey, from Elevation Church, and I sat down to discuss the topic of church hurt and how to overcome it. Our goal is to parse out the realities of:  Dealing with and overcoming Church hurt Recognizing offenses and processing them early Practicing gratitude and focusing on personal growth  Church hurt is real. It could stem from a misunderstanding or something else. Please remember, the church didn’t hurt you, a person did. That’s why it is important to speak up and share your hurt. It is also equally important to listen and understand what others are saying and feeling. Gratitude and offense journals are two practical ways to help you process this hurt. Tag me @BiancaOlthoff and @lbrey and let us know how this practice is making a difference in your life.Love you,BRESOURCES/LINKSGuestPastor Larry BreyTFHOC Sermon: First Things FirstIG:https://www.instagram.com/lbrey/?hl=enQuoteAny seed that is planted in silence will grow a fruit of bitterness.Takeaways Burying the past hurts and not letting them define your identity.

Are you ready to detox from toxic detoxes? Embracing food freedom begins by getting rid of practices that can be toxic to our bodies. Our bodies are wise and intricate miracles.

Trusting our bodies' natural processes and listening to our internal cues is key to recalibrating our sense of health. Intuitive eating is a self-care framework that helps us make peace with food and make choices that align with our values. We owe no one a number on the scale and have the right to refuse unnecessary weight checks. Detoxing toxic practices involves renouncing diet culture and embracing our worth beyond societal body standards. ⋇Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here⋇Order Bianca’s new book GRIT DON’T QUIT⋇The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available.

Are you aware of diet culture infiltrating safe spaces like school or church? Everyone is on a journey of their own. I want to make sure that as we talk about the impact of diet culture in the church, that we do it from a place of love, kindness, grace, health, and healing.I believe that we can have meaningful conversations around the topic of weight by: Being receptive to the needs of others Extending grace and not shaming or judging others Considering everyone’s individual circumstances Friends, as you continue to walk with God, remember that He is compassionate and gracious. Ask Him to guide you as you grow in relationship with Him and learn to separate yourself from diet culture.

The 'body as a temple' verse has been misused to shame and judge others based on their appearance. Fasting can be practiced in a healthy and holy way, but it is important to consider individual circumstances and avoid harmful behaviors. Alternative fasting options, such as abstaining from social media or comparison, can be just as meaningful and impactful. Self-discipline should be redefined as honoring hunger and taking care of our bodies, rather than pursuing a specific body size. Toxic detoxes should be avoided, and emotional eating should be addressed with the help of therapy or other forms of support. ⋇Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here⋇Order Bianca’s new book GRIT DON’T QUIT⋇The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available.

Does it seem like everywhere you go someone is asking you for your weight? Are you tired of obsessing over the number on your weight scale? Real talk - I’m tired too! Let’s be honest friends, talking about weight issues is uncomfortable. That’s why Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Therapist is back with us for day 2 of The Weighting Game series. Today we discuss: The issues with the scale  Bodies are miracles, not math Weight-centric training and health The flaws of BMI and Body Fat Percentage Recognizing disordered eating and body grief Determining health and wholeness beyond numbers There are so many dangers in pursuing an unrealistic body image. We need to recognize that body diversity is important in our society and that there is no one-size-fits-all definition of health. Overall health and well-being start with healthy connections and relationships. Let’s make it a goal to prioritize holistic health and freedom from diet culture.You are not alone, friend. Tag me @biancaolthoff and @leslieschilling and share how you are finding food freedom in your life.Love,BRESOURCES/LINKSGuestLeslie Schilling: https://www.leslieschilling.com/ Book: Feed Yourself: Step Away from the Lies of Diet Culture and into Your Divine Design IG: https://www.instagram.com/leslieschilling/FB: https://www.facebook.com/NutritionLeslie QuoteWe have to come to grips with the fact that you may never be in the body that this culture promised you.Takeaways Weight-centric training and the focus on the number on the scale can be harmful and perpetuate diet culture. Health is multifaceted and cannot be determined solely by weight or body size. Body diversity is important, and there is no one-size-fits-all definition of health. Connections and relationships play a significant role in overall health and well-being. BMI is not an accurate or reliable measure of health, and body fat percentage should be considered instead. Disordered eating can manifest in various ways and is not limited to extreme cases. Determining health and wholeness should involve regular nourishment, movement, good relationships, and self-care. The goal is to prioritize holistic health and freedom from the constraints of diet culture. ⋇Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here⋇Order Bianca’s new book GRIT DON’T QUIT⋇The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available.
