I did this study years ago when it was first created. Taking it again now was a great idea. I’m at a different place in my life and it impacted me in a very different way. It positively changed my perspective in how I plan my meals and my day. The study and the group kept me engaged and laughing. We are all humans doing the best we can. The biggest lesson to learn from this study is Jesus made you, loves you and is your guide to a healthier lifestyle living for him and with his help. All things are done through him.
Thanks Mendy!

I’ve been coaching women as a trainer and gym owner since the dinosaurs roamed the earth. Okay well maybe not technically that long, but I started when my youngest was a baby, and he’s now a towering 17-year-old.
I’ve spent more hours than I can count counseling women and teen girls, and I’ve trained thousands of clients, earned over a dozen certifications, ran my own gym.
I also fell flat on my face when life got hard and walked with God as he scraped me up off the floor and showed me a better way. I’ve had the opportunity to see what motivates women, what common obstacles and fears they face, what keeps them going long term, and how their relationship with Christ affects their physical health.
Did I mention I did all this with 5 kids, two of who are adopted from West Africa? I’ve walked some very hard realities; lived with anxiety and depression, contemplated suicide, and struggled to help my husband recover after a stroke. I know if I can do it, with God’s help, through some of the most chaotic and dark circumstances, you can too.
“I didn’t think I could run a mile. So, I never ran. But I’ve learned how to get past those mental roadblocks and challenge myself. Now, because of encouragement and proper instruction, I know I can do it, WITHOUT STOPPING, and I actually enjoy doing it! It’s my reset button. A couple of hours a week that I can ignore all other responsibilities and just sweat out any issues. It’s nice to have that support group of strong women with the same goals and struggles. I’m down 15lbs and 6 dress sizes.”
You can plan on about 1 hour a week for 6 weeks to complete the Grace & Grit Coaching Program. You will receive two emails a week with access to a new video that is 20 to 30 minutes long, and a printable journal sheet with 3 journal prompts.
Fast results are what the diet industry is built on and directly lead to yo-yo dieting. The better question is, will I see long-term results? The answer is a resounding yes! When you tackle weight loss from the heart and the habits, you give change the power to last.
After 15 years as a fitness professional, I hear you. That industry is sustained by our repeated failure. This is different. This is heart and habits for the glory of God. When we switch our motivation from outward to inward, everything about the process changes.
All the products I offer are Biblically based and use the wisdom of habit formation as their foundation. The Healthy Habits Bible Study and 90-Day Journal are meant to do on your own or do with a small group and are both physical products you can write and journal in that will be shipped to you. Grace & Grit Coaching is more like sitting down with me as your personal coach and is video format with printable journal prompts. Though Grace & Grit coaching is not counseling, I use my background as a Professional Christian Counselor to inform the content of the videos. In Grace & Grit coaching, we take a deep dive into topics like emotional eating, comparison, habit formation, and sugar detox that is not covered in the Bible Study or Journal.
Having worked with women from teens, to new moms, to working women, to post menopausal women, I can say a resounding yes, it’s for you! In the Grace & Grit coaching, we take a deep dive into understanding what triggers emotional eating specifically for you. The whole program, much like my Professional Counseling, is tailored for your unique experiences and season of life. I am a firm believer that there is not a one-size-fits-all solution and you will learn how to seek and hear God’s wisdom for your health.
Grace & Grit coaching is NOT a diet or workout program. Instead, I teach you to investigate the emotional and habit causes of overeating. In the program, I do encourage you to eat as close to the way God created food as possible and to move your body most days of the week. If you would like to add a clean eating recipe book or workout program you really enjoy, you certainly can. But I caution you to take it slowly and implement one new habit at a time, so you will experience truly lasting change.

From my professional experience in both the fitness and counseling worlds, I know that the best way to have change that lasts is to go slow. Slow is hard because we are not used to it as a culture, but it is the only way to make changes you can stick with. The Grace & Grit program will be delivered to your email one video at a time, twice a week, over 6 weeks. I don’t want you to get overwhelmed with all the material at once and give up! I want this truth to have time to marinate in your soul and create a spiritual transformation that will forever change the way you approach your body.
The Grace & Grit Coaching program will be delivered to your email, and you can watch the videos from any web browser. You will also receive a printable journal prompt guide with each email, you can print, or you can simply use a pen and paper and copy the short prompts and fill in your answers.
At the end of the 6 weeks, you will receive a final email with links to all 12 videos and a PDF of all 12 journal prompt pages. I suggest you store this email in a folder so you can reference back to it anytime you need.
We would love it if you would share your experiences with a friend and encourage her on her healthy journey with the Lord! You can refer her back to Gospel Centered Health to purchase the program for herself, but we ask that you not share any emails or links to the materials with her.
My prayer is that this program is used by the Holy Spirit to meet you exactly where you need. But if you are unsatisfied with the product, simply email us within 30 days for a full refund. We would also love for you to share how the product could be improved to meet your needs best.
