Courageous Fit Female With Jaclyn Castro

So you messed up after doing really well post recovery with those food temptations, sugar cravings, and food idolatry aka food fixation and now you can’t forgive yourself because you’ve fallen off of the food wagon?? There is no need to go beat yourself up, or feel like a failure, or speak words of death through self sabotaging messages just because you ate more than you should have. That’s exactly what the Enemy (Satan) wants you to do. (Anything that DOESN’T point you to CHRIST makes him smile. It’s his plan to rip you far apart from the almighty God!). If this all strikes a chord then I recorded this podcast episode just for you! I walk you through those things you may have FORGOTTEN as a Christian. I am passing this along to you because these are things that I am CONSTANTLY reminded of as a follower of Jesus. Sisters, the WORLD will tell you to do what makes you feel good, to FOLLOW the desires of your heart, and to do what YOU want. But as you will hear in this episode God says to do it differently - HIS

When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior your body becomes His temple. Yes, your body is where He dwells which means we gotta fix up the inside of us if we want to honor Him. From head to toe it all belongs to the Lord and if you’re like the rest of us who needs to fix His temple up you know that the only way to fix our insides is through scripture and by being a doer of it. Ladies, if Jesus was coming to town what would His “hotel” (aka your physical body, mind, and heart) look like? What would you do or need to do to prepare for His arrival? In today’s episode, I speak to all you Christian females who want to honor the Lord with their whole body by having you do an evaluation of the Lord’s temple (your entire body!) if it needs work, is mediocre, or excellent in His sight. Thank goodness that God could care less about what we look like on the outside, right!? That means that what we have to work on is the inside. And when we do that His Name is honored. I pray you are blessed by this episode. Share, c

Incorporating movement into your every day activities is simple. That’s what we talk about in this episode. When you don’t move even in just a LITTLE way you start to lean towards laziness and the mindset of self instead of serving others and serving God. Starting small to build up the habit of movement and to get the endorphins going is the way to go. If you want to start moving again because you’ve been putting it off then this episode is for you. You gotta start somewhere and I tell you how. You’ll see that as soon as you add movement into your every day you will get the endorphins pumping and start to feel the difference. You’ll start to feel better and then you’ll want to treat your body according to the way God made it - as His temple.  Is food mastering your life?

Finding food freedom is more simple than you think!   Listen all the way through for a bonus discipline that I call the 3 S’s.   Ready to break through the worldly teaching of what it looks like to be fit?

Hey there Martha! It’s not easy to admit that we serve in vain. But that’s the truth!. If you still find yourself skipping your workouts because you NEED to take care of fill-in-the-blank well you’re in for a surprise! Or maybe not. Sometimes I need someone else to tell me that what I’m doing is not what God wants for me. Sometimes this is how God speaks to us! And THEN things start to make sense and all our excuses seem to “fade” away.    My prayer for you as you tune in to this episode is that you will allow the Holy Spirit to do what He does best - speak Truth! Instead of leaning towards glorifying what WE do let’s do what will glorify Him!    The key verse for this episode is Galatians 1:10. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.   Listen to podcast episode 47, “How to Find Time to Exercise With A Busy Schedule”. It’s what led me to record THIS episode so tune into that if you haven’t already.   Or check it out on

In today’s episode, I’m sharing this one thing that you are NOT doing when it comes to seeing transformation. You’ve tried dieting, meal planning, and even hired a personal trainer. While those are good and needed (to some degree) you are still missing this one very important area. (Hint: It’s not groundbreaking but it is a neglected area for us Christians.) I pray that the Lord will use this episode to open your spiritual eyes and show you that exercise and healthy eating is NOT enough.

Have you ever been told that you need to be more  SELF-CONFIDENT? Have you been taught that you need to have SELF-CONFIDENCE but when you try it out it doesn’t work for you? Well there’s good news. Throw that advice out the window!  As a Christ-follower, there’s no way you can follow Him if you’re all about trying to build yourself up. When you try to be MORE self-confident in whatever you’re doing it just puts you in the spotlight which leaves Christ out of focus.  In this episode, you will learn THREE things you can DO to be CHRIST-confident as well as three things to stop doing and start putting into place. If you want practical and simple ways to sharpen your relationship with the Lord and to learn how to go from self to Christ-confident as you pursue fitness and health then tune into this episode. Sisters, if you are ready to blast through your excuses, to start stepping into true fulfillment and to strengthen your confidence in Christ as we define and RE-establish your fitness - not just in your phy

Are you fed up with eating to the point of not being able to stop and feeling like a glutton? Did you know that gluttony is the most accepted Christian sin? If you’ve been stuck in the gluttony aka “stuffing your face phase” for a long time but you know that it’s not where you want to be then this episode will teach you some spiritual convictions that the Holy Spirit has given me about my own personal journey that you can walk away with for your own food strongholds.  Share this with your sisters in Christ who are also facing the most accepted Christian sin - gluttony. *** NOTE: On several parts, I mention that gluttony is the most “committed sin as a Christian.” However, note that I meant to say it is the most “ACCEPTED sin.” If you want the next level in running this marathon for Christ let me know because I would love to work with you and guide you on this journey. I will give you the right tools, have check-ins, accountability, and tool kits to be more successful in your run with Christ. Go to Calendly.c

Why is this important for weight loss? Your mindset is the story you repeatedly tell yourself everyday about what you are. When you replace stories of lies with truth it sets you up to clear excuses and to overcome challenges so that you can succeed with the work required to lose the weight. Tune in for more truth so that you can have lasting weight loss results.

Dieting only gives you limited choices and leads to temporary results. If you want lasting results that give you unlimited food selections then take note of what you will learn in this episode. Whatever season you are in this episode could be the start of a life-changing message that you needed to hear. The only regret you will have is thinking “Why didn’t I know about this sooner?”

Today’s message has been on my heart because of what I’ve been through with my own weight loss struggles. Food has been my issue. I worked out but I didn’t know how to stop being so gluttonous. When you listen in, see if you can relate to any of the things I mention that added the extra weight onto my body.
