Welcome back to the BE ENCOURAGED Podcast! You are listening to episode 121 part 2 with our lovely guest speaker, Jessica Momose! I couldn’t wait to share with you part 2, so I aired it a little sooner than my every other week schedule! I didn’t want to keep you waiting any longer! Keeping all the encouragement and practical advice, fresh in your mind! In the last episode, Jess unpacked what functional medicine and faith-based functional medicine are and why it’s so important to build your healthy living off of a strong foundation in Christ. Some topics mentioned were prayer, planning (goals), and finding a community to help you onward in your health journey. Now, in today's episode, Jess leads us to consider the importance of having a community, nutrition, hydration, relieving stress, sleep, detoxing, and trusting God with the rest! As well as unpacking the rest of the foundational stones mentioned in her e-book called, “Foundational Stones: A Faith-Based Guide to Healthy Living”. This episode is needed in the world today! Jess says, “We do the best we can with the resources we have and we trust God for the rest”. I am so grateful that if nothing feels like it’s working, we can still pray and take a deep breath to walk in JOY that our God has a greater plan and will pursue us to complete it! Remember, it’s a journey — a marathon, not a sprint! That’s why I am so thankful for Jess’s work around this topic to help us all fill in the gaps and speak to perhaps some things we may already know (changing nutrition, balancing stress levels, etc.) but it compels us to move forward with the end in mind. That the no now means a greater yes!! Thank you, JESS for speaking hope, wisdom, and grace! I can’t wait for you all to eat this up! So grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run, and wherever you are — be encouraged!
