If you’ve been searching for encouragement in chronic illness, holistic health, or spiritual healing, this episode will speak directly to your heart.Three years ago, my guest was battling Lyme disease and walking through one of the hardest seasons of her life.

She is the oldest of three daughters, born to the owners of the local camera store and dance studio. At age 20, she met a Welsh pastor named Sam Knight. Sam had come to town to write his dissertation and had planned to return to the UK at summer’s end. Jen and Sam got engaged after only four dates. Five months later, they tied the knot. This threw Jen, a relatively new Christian, into the whirlwind of being a pastor’s wife. Now, almost three decades later, they have served together at five churches, lived in three states, and had three amazing children, plus too many pets to count. Her moments with God inspired her book and the adjoining blog, JenniferThayerKnight.com. In 2017, Jen began her battle with Lyme disease, but God showed up with a miraculous healing in 2023. What became the hardest time in her life, God uses to inspire creativity in her writing, new ways to serve God, and new ways to disciple people. The goal of Jen’s writing is to share her experiences, hoping to draw others into a deeper, experiential relationship with Christ.

My special guest today Pastor Char Pittman encouraged me and I pray you as well to get me fired up as she talks about identity which so many struggle with and she shares about the essential truths understanding our true identity in Christ, and walking in the victory that Jesus has already won for us.

More than that she is a collaborator, challenging and motivating women to find the healthiest, best versions of themselves. She works with clients in groups by leading challenges and boot camps on nutrition and movement, and she also helps those who need one-on-one guidance with food and health issues.  She understands that people living with these conditions are tired, frustrated, scared, and overwhelmed, and most doctors do not take the time, or even understand how to solve these gut-related problems. She is currently coaching and speaking to women about nutrition and leading workshops about parenting and life management and how the two work together for overall wellness.  Book: Phenomenal Mom – purchase on Amazon https://a.co/d/3tnWpwT Website: https://paulatobey.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachpaulatobey Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paula_tobey/?hl=en  CONNECT WITH CHRISTA JOY: You can support Christa Joy Ministries by purchasing a coffee. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/powerfulwhisper Christa Joy would love to connect with you further.
