What does it look like to run with endurance in your health and fitness journey not just for a season, but for a lifetime?In this episode, we are sharing a recording of a live training from inside of the Fit for His Glory Challenges + Community, specifically the Fit for His Glory 75 Challenge.In this training, Courtney shares why so many women feel exhausted by fitness and how much of that exhaustion comes from chasing the world's version of health instead of God's. She challenges listeners to stop running from fear, shame, and the number on the scale and start running toward the life God has called them to live.If you've ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of being "on track" and "off track," starting over every Monday, or feeling discouraged because your current season doesn't allow you to do what you used to do, this conversation is for you.Courtney shares practical encouragement for building a sustainable approach to health that works with your season of life, not against it, while reminding us that our capacity may change, but our calling to steward our bodies for God's glory remains the same.WHAT YOU'LL HEAR:Why it's easier to run with endurance when you're running toward something instead of from somethingHow fear, shame, and diet culture keep us stuck in unhealthy cyclesWhy "creating a new normal" is more effective than constantly starting another dietThe difference between your capacity and your callingHow to steward your health faithfully through different seasons of lifeThe power of small, consistent habitsWhy all-or-nothing thinking always leads to burnoutHow to create a simple "rule of life" that aligns your daily habits with your deepest valuesPractical ways to make healthy living sustainable and enjoyableWhy no action is too small when it comes to honoring God with your bodyYour capacity will change through pregnancy, motherhood, aging, illness, and hard seasons.
