Faith Over Feelings: Building Spiritual Discipline for Real Change

Are you tired of starting over on your health journey? Do you feel like every diet begins with hope but ends in defeat? In this episode, we’ll show you how inviting God into your weight loss journey can change everything. Jes and Martin explain why Phoenix Chronicles isn’t a diet—it’s the spiritual foundation to help you stay on one. Through prayer, worship, and scripture, they break down how to fight the emotional, spiritual, and mental battles that threaten your progress. This episode is about more than food—it’s about freedom. Learn how to develop spiritual discipline that fuels lasting change and restores your relationship with your body. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [0:00] Intro [1:04] Phoenix Chronicles isn’t another diet—it’s a tool to help you stay faithful on a good one. Jes and Martin talk about how prayer and worship strengthen your ability to stay the course. [4:54] Why worship matters: Singing transforms the heart. God sees you in your weakness and meets you there through praise. [6:33] Dive into God’s Word. Use specific scriptures to prepare for the battle of dieting. Highlights include Ephesians 3, Philippians 4:13, and Romans 12. [9:14] Martin shares a moment when stress didn’t lead him to food—and how that revealed God’s transformation in his life. [13:24] Count your blessings! Jes and Martin share personal gratitude examples and why this simple act keeps your mindset joyful. [16:54] Jes and Martin reflect on the sacrifices others have made for Christ and what we can learn from their courage. [23:05] Jes breaks down the Phoenix Chronicles daily practice: 15 minutes of prayer, worship, and Bible study—plus the power of Scripture memorization. [31:12] Add one more habit to the daily three. Review your health boundaries daily. Pray over them, keep them visible, and let God help you stay committed. [33:36] Jes shares encouraging feedback from a podcast listener at church. [34:15] Closing thought: How hungry are you for change? Surrender the idols and let God transform your health from the inside out.

Eating Disorder Recovery & Turning to God

Eating Disorder Recovery & Turning to God

Have you interacted with the mainstream therapeutic world in your pursuit of weight loss? When Jes was struggling with her eating disorder, she went to rehab and saw a secular therapist. In doing so, she processed much of her trauma, but also started to lose sight of God’s importance in her life. Learn how to balance healing with the teachings of the Bible, and hear Jes’s story of her eating disorder, recovery, and surrender in today’s episode of Phoenix Chronicles. For detailed show notes, navigate using the time stamps below: [0:00] Introduction [1:07] When Jes was in her early 20s, she did a diet called HCG Sublingual Drops and ate almost nothing for many months. She ended up in the hospital four times with debilitating pain, and eventually her gallbladder shrunk. [4:14] At 24, Jes checked into a rehab program for her eating disorder. Initially, her program was great, and she learned about food addiction and coping mechanisms. [6:10] Jes gained wait as a means of protecting herself from male attention as a trauma response to sexual abuse. Her rehab program helped her stop constantly weighing herself and controlling her surroundings. [9:08] The Health at Every Size movement gave Jes the idea that it does not matter if you are overweight. Because Jes had such a fraught relationship with food before, she went from total rules to no rules, which was intoxicating. [11:09] This view also put Jes in the view of her own healer, and made her values the only thing that mattered. She thought that she was doing the right thing, but she was only focusing on herself. [15:00] Through all of this, Jes’s disordered behaviors never stopped. She started asking herself where God was in her journey. [19:30] It was very difficult for Jes to accept that her approach to her relationship with food was wrong. It has been difficult for her to surrender. She began seeing a Christian therapist, who was game-changing for her. [24:58] When Jes surrendered to God, she finally was able to change her behavior around food. It was the only thing that worked.

If you are looking for a solution to the eternal dilemma of weight loss, you are in the right place. For years I have struggled to lose weight with no permanent success. Every time I succeeded in losing weight, over time I gained it all back and more. And the stress was horrible. Working with God to change my mind about food and dieting makes all the difference. It is making a difference to me. I know it can do the same for you.

-Scott

Being a Christian, much of my life is centered around church activities which are typically centered around food. It’s a struggle! Church potlucks have been my nemesis! Then I started reading A Phoenix Chronicles and it has taken the anxiety out of going to the potlucks because now I’m viewing my relationship with food very differently. This is something God and I can work on together!

-Ellen

This is a home run, and it works for me on so many different levels. I like that it’s not a diet program, but it’s more like a resource to help you stay on the diet that I like. It helps me focus on the heart aspects of losing weight. I hadn’t spent a lot of time thinking about that before I found Phoenix Chronicles but it has opened my eyes to how important I had made food and now I’m working on this and I’m excited!
