I share my own journey from chasing the “perfect body” to finding peace in viewing movement as a way to care for the body God’s given me.

We’ll look at John 5:14, where Jesus tells the man He healed, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” We’ll explore how, while healing may be given freely, maintaining it requires walking in holiness and in closeness with the One who made us whole. This episode is an invitation to grow in likeness of Christ — not out of fear or striving, but from love and gratitude for the One who set us free. — Resources 💬 Enduring Word Commentary — Links 📩 Newsletter: Subscribe here 📱 Instagram: @wellwithjesuspodcast 📌 Pinterest: @wellwithjesuspodcast 🎥 TikTok: @wellwithjesuspodcast

We’ll also talk about what the Bible says about the cost of holding onto unforgiveness, and how to set healthy, Spirit-led boundaries while still choosing to walk in love. — Links & Resources 📩 Newsletter: Subscribe here 📱 Instagram: @wellwithjesuspodcast 📌 Pinterest: @wellwithjesuspodcast 🎥 TikTok: @wellwithjesuspodcast

💌 Join the Well with Jesus newsletter: Subscribe here for weekly encouragement, reflections, and practical ways to live well with Jesus. — Hello dear friend, In this episode, I open up about a season when healthy eating became an obsession. What started as a desire to nourish my body and manage my weight gradually turned into orthorexia nervosa: a restrictive, all-consuming approach to food that affected my mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. I share how I recognised the problem, broke free from wellness culture, and found a gentler approach to eating healthily. If you’ve ever felt controlled by food, striving for perfection, or moralising what you eat, this conversation is for you.  — Episode Resources ☎︎ Free Counselling Hotlines South Africa: https://blog.opencounseling.com/hotlines-za/ 🥗 Food Psych Podcast: https://christyharrison.com/foodpsych — Links & Resources 📩 Newsletter: Subscribe here📱 Instagram: @wellwithjesuspodcast📌 Pinterest: @wellwithjesuspodcast🎥 TikTok: @wellwithjesuspodcast

I share how God used Isaiah 61:3 to show me the spiritual roots of depression, what the Bible calls the spirit of heaviness. I also talk about my testimony of healing, and how God's taught me about praise as the path to healing.  This is a very personal and faith-filled conversation. I hope is that it reminds you that depression is not your identity and that healing is possible through Christ.  — Episode Resources 🎥 Bill Johnson Sermon, 'The Peaceful War' ☎️ South African Depression & Anxiety Group Helplines (Toll-free) — Links 📩 Newsletter: Subscribe here 📱 Instagram: @wellwithjesuspodcast 📌 Pinterest: @wellwithjesuspodcast 🎥 TikTok: @wellwithjesuspodcast

New-age meditation is promoted on so many wellness platforms as a tool for mental peace, clarity and as an antidote to anxiety/stress. The good news is we don’t have to turn to Eastern/new age practices. Jesus offers us all of those things and more. One of the ways He invites us to access His peace is by meditating on Him and His word.

💌 Join the Well with Jesus newsletter: Subscribe here for weekly encouragement, reflections, and practical ways to live well with Jesus. — Hello dear friend, This week, we’re unpacking two deeply connected themes: hyper-independence and femininity.  For much of my life I was afraid to show vulnerability and to ask for help. Over time I realised that the comfort zone of independence was slowly hardening my heart and cutting me off from the softer, emotional side God designed in me. In this episode, I share my journey of slowing leaving that comfort zone, reconnecting with my emotions, and embracing my femininity as an integral part of how God made me. We’ll talk about practical ways to unlearn the patterns of hyper-independence, how to get back in touch with your and softer side, and why interdependence with God and with others is key to living well. If you’ve ever struggled to let people in or feared losing yourself in vulnerability, I hope this conversation reminds you that true strength can be tender, and femininity is not something to run from, but something to rest in. — Links & Resources 📩 Newsletter: Subscribe here 📱 Instagram: @wellwithjesuspodcast 📌 Pinterest: @wellwithjesuspodcast 🎥 TikTok: @wellwithjesuspodcast

Social media can be fun, entertaining, and a great way to stay in touch. But for many of us, it’s also a major source of self-comparison, overstimulation, and disconnection from our real lives. In this episode, I share how I’ve learned to set healthier boundaries with how I use social, and how you can too. We talk about the temptation of comparison, the trap of doomscrolling, and why your time, attention, and mental wellbeing are worth protecting. I also share practical ways to use social media with intention, without letting it steal your joy or distract you from your daily life. Whether you’re online every day or just occasionally, my prayer is that this conversation helps you rethink what you’re allowing into your mind and spirit, and inspires you to live with more presence and peace. — Links & Resources 📩 Newsletter: Subscribe here 📱 Instagram: @wellwithjesuspodcast 📌 Pinterest: @wellwithjesuspodcast 🎥 TikTok: @wellwithjesuspodcast

Not just a weekend nap or a holiday, but the deep, soul-level rest that only Jesus offers. In this episode, we open Hebrews 4 and look at what it really means to enter God’s rest in the middle of our busy, sometimes-burdened lives. I share how learning to pause, lean on Him, and trust His promises has shifted my heart from leaning on my own strength to refreshment in Christ. Whether your days feel overwhelming or you’re simply longing for a calmer, more anchored spirit, I hope this conversation reminds you that rest is not a luxury, it’s a gift. And it’s yours to receive. — Episode Resources 📘Hebrews 4 Commentary: Enduring Word — Links  📩 Newsletter: Subscribe here 📱 Instagram: @wellwithjesuspodcast📌 Pinterest: @wellwithjesuspodcast🎥 TikTok: @wellwithjesuspodcast  

Hello dear friend. In the last episode of season one, we unpack emotional eating, a pattern many of us fall into when trying to soothe emotional pain or navigate life’s challenges. I share parts of my own story, from childhood into adulthood, and how I worked through the root causes behind my emotional eating using tools like therapy and journaling. We also talk through the spiritual side of emotional eating: its links to gluttony and idolatry, and how it can be a sign that we need to grow in the fruit of self-control. This conversation also invites us to check where we might be turning to food instead of turning to God, and to step into greater freedom with Him. So grab a warm cup of tea, your journal, and join me for our last hangout for the season.   JOIN ME ON SOCIAL: Instagram: @wellwithjesuspodcast TikTok: @wellwithjesuspodcast Pinterest: @wellwithjesuspodcast

Hello dear friend. In today’s episode, we’re having a heartfelt conversation about something that’s become incredibly popular in our culture—manifestation and the law of attraction. Maybe you’ve heard phrases like “speak it into existence” or “you attract what you are”—but how do these ideas really line up with our faith? If you’ve ever felt unsure about whether these practices fit into a life centred on Christ, you are not alone. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that we can control our outcomes just by focusing hard enough or saying the right things. But today, we’re gently peeling back the layers to ask: where is our trust truly placed? We’re talking about the subtle ways these New Age practices can shift our focus away from God and toward self—sometimes without us even realiSing it. Through scripture, reflection, and honest questions, we’ll explore how to stay rooted in God’s truth while navigating a world full of mixed messages. I’ll be sharing some personal thoughts and biblical insights to help you stay anchored in your walk with Jesus.
