In this powerful episode of Mission for More Podcast, Courtney sits down with Christian health coach and Bible teacher Jaclyn Renee for a deeply honest conversation about healing, diet culture, chronic illness, and learning to steward your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit—God’s way, not the world’s way.Jaclyn shares her raw testimony of being chronically ill from childhood into adulthood, struggling with gut issues, hormonal imbalance, anxiety, acne, and years of unanswered questions from doctors.

After nearly two decades in diet culture and performance-based “wellness,” God gently revealed that healing itself had become an idol.During the Daniel Fast, the Lord began to expose the lies of diet culture, self-discipline, restriction, and striving—and invited Jaclyn into a new way of healing rooted in peace, surrender, Scripture, and spiritual discipline. In this episode, Jaclyn and Courtney unpack the difference between self-discipline and Spirit-led discipline, how diet culture distorts a woman’s identity and worth, and why true healing must begin with the Healer, not the method.This conversation dives into:Breaking free from diet culture and body idolatryHealing from chronic illness, burnout, and anxietyThe spiritual roots of emotional eating and strivingWhy performance-based wellness leads to burnoutHow to steward your body as a temple of the Holy SpiritThe connection between peace, hormones, and women’s healthWhy women’s bodies are designed differently than men’sHow to walk in healing without shame, perfectionism, or all-or-nothing thinkingLearning to abide in Christ instead of striving for resultsJaclyn also shares about her 8-week wellness Bible study designed to help women dismantle the enemy’s lies hidden in diet culture and replace them with biblical truth, spiritual discipline, and sustainable, Spirit-led rhythms for health and freedom.If you’ve ever felt trapped in cycles of dieting, restriction, burnout, emotional eating, body shame, or striving for worth through performance—this episode will bring conviction, freedom, hope, and clarity.

Together, Courtney and Lauren unpack the pressure moms often feel to create perfect “quiet time” moments with God… and why the Lord often meets us most powerfully in the mundane: at the sink, in the shower, folding laundry, or whispering prayers while toddlers tug at our legs.They talk about:✨ Finding God in the everyday moments✨ How conviction, not perfection, shapes spiritual discipline✨ Letting your children join you in your time with the Lord✨ Why 10 minutes of undivided attention is more powerful than overthinking✨ Discernment, Holy Spirit nudges, and knowing the difference between stretching and striving✨ Blending homeschool, devotionals, and family rhythms without burnout✨ How seasons change—and why “your best” won’t look the same in each oneThis conversation is a reminder that intimacy with God isn’t reserved for quiet mornings and picture-perfect routines. He meets us in the real, in the raw, and in the rush—and He delights in the moments when we simply show up.Whether you’re in a season of chaos, craving spiritual consistency, or looking for practical encouragement in motherhood, this episode will breathe fresh grace, truth, and hope into your day.

Speaking life? It's not a suggestion, it's a command from our Father in Heaven, written in the scriptures. Yet, time and time again we find ourselves nagging, complaining, or mumbling under our breath in the exact opposite direction.So where do we go from here? Let's tap into the biblical truth and practical application, along with a short testimony of speaking life and what that has meant in my life, and what it can mean for yours, too!

In this powerful episode of Confession and Repentance with special guest Beth Jacobus, we dive into God’s heart for freedom, not shame. Together, we explore how the lies of the enemy subtly shape our thoughts and how true transformation begins when we bring those lies into the light of God’s truth.Whether you’re wrestling with a major confession or the quiet, everyday moments of disobedience we all face on the journey of sanctification, this conversation reminds us that God continually invites us back to Him.

In this episode, we dive into what it truly means to be rooted in God’s Word, not just reading for routine, but drawing daily strength and stability from Scripture. Just like a tree planted by living water, your growth and fruitfulness depend on the depth of your roots. We’ll explore how to anchor your heart in truth, what it looks like to meditate on the Word day and night, and why storms can’t shake what’s been planted deep.REMEMBER: You don’t need more striving, you need stronger roots.

In a world overflowing with information, opinions, and endless entertainment, it’s easy to forget that what we take in is shaping who we become. In this episode, Careful Consumption: What You Entertain Matters, you will hear Dawn, Katy and myself diving deep into how the shows you watch, the music you listen to, the voices you follow, and even the scroll you get lost in—all influence the condition of your heart. We’ll talk about why God calls us to “guard our hearts” (Proverbs 4:23) and how to discern the difference between being informed and being influenced. This isn’t about legalism or living in fear, it’s about holiness, peace, and clarity. Together with our guest, we’ll explore how to set spiritual boundaries, tune out the noise of the world, and tune in to the voice of God.If you’ve been praying for peace but feel surrounded by chaos, this episode will help you realign your focus and protect what truly matters: your heart.

In a world obsessed with calories, macros, and food rules, it’s easy to forget that God created food as a gift, not an enemy. As we chat with guest Kammi McPhillips this week, we’re shifting the conversation from restriction to reverence, looking at food not as something to control, but as a way to nourish the body God handcrafted with care. Together, we’ll explore what it means to invite God into our meals, release anxiety around eating, and see food as fuel for Kingdom work. With Scripture as our guide, we’ll ask better questions—like, “Will this nourish me?” and “Am I honoring God with this body?”—and take on simple holy habits that reframe the table as a place of worship, not worry. If you’ve ever felt stuck in diet culture or struggled with your relationship with food, this episode will remind you: nourishment is freedom, and God satisfies us with good.

In this episode, we dig into “The Why Behind the Workout." Let this be a heart check for anyone who’s ever struggled to balance fitness, faith, and purpose. God created your body on purpose and for purpose, not to be idolized or ignored, but to be honored as His temple.We’ll talk about what it looks like to move with intention, to trade appearance-driven goals for obedience, and to see every workout as a moment of worship. Whether you’re walking, lifting, or stretching, your movement can become an act of gratitude and a way to glorify the One who gave you strength in the first place.It’s time to redefine what fitness means through the lens of faith and remember: you don’t move to earn love, you move because you’re already loved.

Prayer isn’t just a ritual before meals or a last resort in crisis, it’s the rhythm of our relationship with God. In this episode, we hear from Megan Mercier as we break down the walls around what prayer “should” sound like and explore what it really is: honest, ongoing conversation with the Father who sustains us. Through Scripture and simple holy habits, we’ll discover how to pray without ceasing, invite the Spirit into our weakness, and let prayer become the power source for everyday life.If you’ve ever felt unsure of how to pray, or struggled to keep prayer consistent, this conversation will remind you that God isn’t after perfect words, He’s after your heart.

Mornings set the tone for everything that follows, but too often we rush through them, giving God what’s left instead of what’s best. In this episode of Mission for More, we dive into what it really means to master the morning mindset by putting God first.We’ll talk about how to receive grace in the morning without falling into “sloppy grace,” how to pray for your day with purpose (not just check a box), and how to stop offering God your spiritual leftovers. You’ll learn simple, powerful ways to start your day centered on His presence because when you begin with God, you carry His peace, clarity, and strength into everything that follows.This isn’t about perfection or routine, it’s about relationship. Let’s choose to seek Him first, right from the moment we wake up.

More Than Enough: Finding Your True Worth in JesusIn a world that constantly measures us by appearance, achievements, and comparison, it’s easy to forget where our true worth lies. In this episode, we dive deep into the wrestle with self-image, cultural expectations, and performance-driven living. Together, we’ll uncover the lies that keep us stuck and replace them with the unshakable truth of who we are in Christ.Through Scripture, encouragement, and practical tools, you’ll be reminded that your identity isn’t something to earn, it’s already secured in Jesus.
