I'll share a little bit about my experience at the beginning of this episode, but what I really want to talk about is loneliness.

Jade Simmons had carved out a decent career as a classical pianist, playing the great works by Beethoven, Shostakovich and the like. But it wasn't until she began to envision what was possible beyond performing this great music that she discovered _why people attend concerts in the first place_ (hint: it's not to listen to music that can be heard on an iPhone) and launched her career into unfathomable heights. How? By simply discovering her _purpose_ , that knowledge of why we're here on this …

If it promises to make your life easier, it's probably not good for you! "Forever chemicals," scientifically known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are a group of synthetic compounds that are used in pretty much every type of household product imaginable. Non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, food packaging, and even firefighting foam. PFAS have garnered long overdue attention due to their persistence in the environment and potential health risks. PFAS have been linked to …

Welcome to the Visibly Fit podcast Dr. Leland Stillman, who's gained notoriety as the "shirtless doctor" due to his many such videos posted on Instagram ;) Dr. Stillman has been around the block once or twice educating whoever will listen on the virtues of holistic living, and why stress in proper levels is the best possible thing for our health.

Those of you who've listened to this podcast for awhile know I have two passions: health, and Jesus. More specifically, how health and our relationship with Jesus intersect.

Psalm 139:16 says, "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." God has ordained our days. He knows the number of our days. But the question is, and the thing that we'll discuss today on this episode is this: Do you believe that you and I have anything to do with that number of days that God has already in place for us? How we live our lives, how we take care of our bodies, how we interact with our fellow man, all have a tremendous impact on our …

Here's a topic that has not been covered on this show, but I want to cover it because it's not only important to the health of our own minds, but to the world around us. The amounts spent on pornography in just the United States is staggering, and no one is immune from the risk. It's more accessible than ever before; and the barriers of shame that once existed have been lifted. Perhaps the most vulnerable to the dangers of porn are the children, who simply have not developed morally to even …

Step out of the shadows and into the light. "Shadow boxing" is what boxers do to train without a physical opponent. Think of when Sylvester Stallone is ducking under the rope, pretending to hit someone in all those _Rocky_ movies. Then when he's in the match, all that muscle memory kicks in and he overcomes an overwhelming and physically superior opponent to win the match. You can't say your husband isn't concerned for your wellbeing when he makes you sit through those movies! Oftentimes …
Episode 101: A Discussion on Forgiveness with June Hunt
Play in Edifi Player
Today we're talking about forgiveness. Forgiveness literally means "to release"; it's an act of grace toward another person. Easier said than done when someone has committed seemingly unforgivable sins. And when trying to do so with our own fleshly power. But we're not doing that. We've been empowered by the Holy Spirit to do the supernatural, and that includes extending forgiveness to those who have wronged us. By forgiving, we're removing that person from our own emotional grip, and …

I have a confession to make. When I began the Visibly Fit podcast just over two years ago, _I really didn't want to do it._ But people kept asking me, "When are you going to start a podcast?" Although I've had television shows and YouTube channels for years, I didn't know anything about podcasts, but when enough people ask for a podcast, you just bear down and do it, right?

Her words come straight from the Scriptures, and have already blessed many families …
