Send us Fan Mail Fit Sister in Jesus, are you struggling to lose weight, get back in shape, or stay consistent with your health and fitness goals? Maybe you've started over more times than you can count, you're frustrated with stubborn belly fat, or you're dealing with hormonal changes, injuries, or physical limitations that make getting healthy feel harder than ever. I get it! But what if some of the things keeping you stuck are things you don't even realize you're doing? In today's episode of The Warrior Up Podcast, we're getting real about self-sabotage and how our thoughts, habits, excuses, and fears can sometimes work against the very goals we're trying to achieve. We're also talking about something that is so important in our walk with Jesus: being willing to get honest with ourselves and allow God to reveal the areas where we need to grow. I'll share practical encouragement and biblical truths to help you renew your mind, break unhealthy patterns, and take steps toward lasting change. Plus, I'm sharing some of my favorite tips from my book, Get Fit On Purpose, to help you lose weight, address stubborn belly fat, and build healthier habits with God at the center. Remember, you don't have to do everything today, but you CAN do something! It's time to stop allowing what you cannot do to keep you from doing what you CAN do! Let's Warrior Up and get fit on purpose with Jesus!

Send us Fan Mail Fit Sister, have you ever felt like you're doing ALL the right things to get healthier and stronger, but you're just not seeing the results you hoped for? Maybe your body is changing as you get older. Your hormones are shifting, your energy isn't what it used to be, or life keeps throwing challenges your way. And some days, you just want to GIVE UP. Oh, do I understand! After more than 30 years in the fitness industry, and now at 51, I'm learning more than ever that our health and fitness journey requires SO much more than exercise and healthy eating. We need three things: FAITH, PATIENCE, and PERSISTENCE. And as followers of Jesus, these three characteristics are absolutely essential to growing stronger in spirit, mind, and body. In today's episode, we're talking about WHY each one matters, what they look like in our everyday lives, and how we can develop a mindset that helps us keep moving forward, even when life gets HARD. I'll also share some powerful examples of women who have faced tremendous physical challenges, including my own mom, and how their determination reminds us that we can continue living with purpose through every season of life. Because here's what I want you to remember, friend. Taking care of your health is about SO much more than how you look or what you weigh. It's about honoring God with the body He's entrusted to you and being equipped to do what He's called you to do! “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus..." Hebrews 12:1–2 (NIV) So whether you're struggling to get started, frustrated with slow progress, or trying to find your way through a difficult season, this episode is for YOU! Let's keep trusting JESUS, taking those faithful steps forward, and getting STRONGER in spirit, mind, and body. One prayer. One workout. One day at a time. ❤️ ******* For more Christ-centered encouragement, workouts, and resources, visit crosstrain180.com Subscribe to my YouTube channel for Christ-centered workouts & much more: CrossTrain180 with Amy Smith 📕 Want to go deeper?

Send us Fan Mail Fit Sister, if you’re somewhere around 40, 45, 50 or beyond and you’ve found yourself wondering, “What in the WORLD is happening to my body?” this episode is for you. Our bodies DO change as we move through midlife. Hormones shift. Muscle mass can decline. Body composition changes. Sleep can get harder. And sometimes what worked for us at 25 or 35 just doesn’t work the same anymore. But that does NOT mean your best days are behind you. In this episode of The Warrior Up Podcast, we’re talking about what’s actually happening in our bodies as we age and, more importantly, what we can DO about it. I’m breaking it down into three practical areas: BUILD MUSCLE. NOURISH YOUR BODY. RECOVER WELL. We’ll talk about why strength training matters so much after 40, why eating less and exercising more isn’t always the answer, the importance of protein and fiber, sleep and recovery, hormones, and how to stop allowing a changing body to determine what you believe about yourself or your future. And as always, we’re bringing it ALL back to Jesus and the truth of God’s Word. Your body may be changing, but God still has PURPOSE for you in this season. There is still strength to build, growth ahead of you, people to love and serve, and Kingdom work to do. So grab your walking shoes, press play, and let’s talk about how to get healthy and fit as we age, one prayer, one workout, one day at a time. ******* For more Christ-centered encouragement, workouts, and resources, visit crosstrain180.com Subscribe to my YouTube channel for Christ-centered workouts & much more: CrossTrain180 with Amy Smith 📕 Want to go deeper?

Send us Fan Mail What if you already KNOW what you need to do to get healthier and stronger, but you’re still struggling to do it consistently? Sometimes the answer isn’t more information. We need to look at what keeps getting in the way of what we already know. In this episode of The Warrior Up Podcast, we’re digging into 6 things that can quietly keep us STUCK: offense and resentment, comparison, fear and dread, procrastination, exhaustion and unbelief. We’ll look at what Scripture says about each one, how these patterns can affect our health and everyday choices, and practical ways to start moving forward. This isn’t about condemnation or beating yourself up. It’s about asking the Holy Spirit to reveal where you may be giving ground away, renewing your mind with God’s truth and putting that truth into ACTION. You don’t have to fix everything today. Ask God to show you the ONE area that needs your attention, then take the next faithful step with JESUS. Feeling stuck does not mean you have to stay stuck. Let’s WARRIOR UP and start gaining ground, one faithful step at a time. PRAY. PRESS PLAY. TAKE THE NEXT STEP. ******* For more Christ-centered encouragement, workouts, and resources, visit crosstrain180.com Subscribe to my YouTube channel for Christ-centered workouts & much more: CrossTrain180 with Amy Smith 📕 Want to go deeper?

Send us Fan Mail You CAN get healthy and fit as you age, but you don’t have to do it the world’s way. In Episode 170 of The Warrior Up Podcast, we’re getting back to the basics and putting JESUS right where He belongs: at the center of our health and fitness. We’ll talk about 3 simple but powerful foundations: getting wisdom from God, renewing your mind, and actually MOVING your body. We’re also talking about comparison, aging, body image, social media, and why what worked years ago may not be what your body needs today. You don’t need another quick fix or someone else’s transformation plan. You need wisdom, truth, consistent action, and a WHY that goes much deeper than the number on the scale. It’s time to stop compartmentalizing your faith and fitness and learn to steward your whole life — spirit, mind, and body — with Jesus at the center. One prayer. One workout. One day at a time.

Send us Fan Mail Fit Sister, if all of this is TRUE, then my life should look different. For the past eight weeks, we’ve been asking some BIG questions: Who is God, really? Can we trust the Bible? Who is Jesus? Who does God say I am? Why can’t I fix myself? But we weren’t asking these questions just to know more about our faith. Because what we believe will shape how we LIVE. So now we’re bringing it all home. Why am I here? What is my purpose? And what does it actually look like to follow Jesus with my WHOLE life? In this final episode of the WHO TOLD YOU THAT? series, we’re talking about what it means to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, become wholehearted disciples of Jesus, and then GO and live out the mission He’s given us right where our feet are. Your marriage. Your family. Your work. Your health. Your relationships. Your choices. Your ordinary everyday life. Jesus doesn’t just want a little piece of our lives. When we belong to Him, He gets ALL of us. Spirit. Mind. Body. Champion in Christ, it’s time to stop simply knowing the truth and start LIVING IT. ✝️🔥 ******** For more Christ-centered encouragement, workouts, and resources, visit crosstrain180.com Subscribe to my YouTube channel for Christ-centered workouts & much more: CrossTrain180 with Amy Smith 📕 Want to go deeper?

Send us Fan Mail What if the reason you’re exhausted from trying to “fix yourself” is because you were never meant to save or transform yourself in the first place? In Part 7 of our WHO TOLD YOU THAT? series, we’re getting to the heart of the gospel: what happened when sin entered the world, why being a “good person” can’t reconcile us to God, and why every single one of us needs Jesus. But we’re not stopping at salvation. We’re talking about what actually happens when we’re made alive in Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, and what it looks like to LIVE differently as Jesus continues transforming us. I’m also sharing something personal from this past year and what God has been teaching me through a season when I realized, once again, I cannot fix myself. I need Jesus. This isn’t about trying harder to become good enough for God. It’s about understanding what Jesus has already done for us and learning to walk with Him, depend on Him, and become more like Him.

Send us Fan Mail WHO DOES GOD SAY YOU ARE?  The world has plenty to say about your identity, your worth, your body, and who you should become. But as devoted disciples of Jesus, there’s one voice that must have the final word: GOD’S. In Part 6 of our “Who Told You That?” series, we’re going to Scripture to discover who God says we are and why knowing WHO GOD IS must come before truly understanding WHO WE ARE. We’ll also uncover an incredible truth: in Christ, you don’t simply belong to God… the Holy Spirit DWELLS IN YOU. Your body is His temple. (1 Corinthians 6:19–20) And that changes the way we see EVERYTHING. Our identity. Our worth. Our minds. Our bodies. Our purpose. Our obedience. Our entire lives. We were never called to give Jesus just one part of ourselves. SPIRIT. MIND. BODY. ALL FOR JESUS.

Send us Fan Mail Over the last four weeks, we’ve gone DEEP.  We’ve talked about worldview and who’s shaping what we believe, who the God of the Bible REALLY is, whether we can trust the Bible as God’s Word, and who JESUS really is, including the evidence for His bodily resurrection. Today, we’re bringing it ALL together. I’m sharing 10 powerful truths every follower of Jesus needs to know, understand, and LIVE because what you believe shapes how you see EVERYTHING. Your relationships. Your decisions. Your habits. Your fitness. Your nutrition. Your purpose. Your eternity. A biblical worldview isn’t adding a little Jesus to the way the world has taught us to think. We START with GOD and His Word, and then we see everything else through the lens of His TRUTH. We’ll talk about why you need to know what you believe and WHY you believe it, why Christianity invites us to think and examine the evidence, why the bodily resurrection of Jesus is central to our faith, and what all of this looks like in your everyday walk with Jesus. Because if JESUS really is who He says He is... it changes EVERYTHING. Press play, grab your Bible, and let’s WARRIOR UP! I'd love to hear your thoughts after you listen.

Send us Fan Mail Who is Jesus, REALLY? This may be one of the most important questions we will ever answer because what we believe about Jesus affects EVERYTHING. In Part 4 of our “Who Told You That?” series, we’re digging into what Jesus actually said about Himself, what Scripture says about who He is, and why Christians believe that Jesus isn’t simply a good teacher, prophet, or spiritual leader. He is GOD, He is Savior, and He is the ONLY way to the Father. We’ll look at 5 distinct claims Jesus made that explicitly or implicitly reveal His deity and His oneness with the Father. We’ll also dig into the incredible truth of Colossians 1:15–23, parts of Hebrews 1, and other Scriptures that show us exactly who Jesus is. I also briefly compare what several other religions and belief systems teach about Jesus, including Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Hindu traditions, and Buddhism, because they don’t all say the same thing about Him. And what we believe matters. But I want to take this even deeper. If we’re going to become WHOLE and truly FIT in spirit, mind, and body, we have to start with JESUS. We can work on our bodies. We can eat better. We can exercise. We can chase goals and build better habits. But if our spirit is out of alignment, our WHY eventually gets out of alignment too. When JESUS becomes the center, our WHY changes. We don’t just want a stronger body. We want a body that is ready to serve Him. We don’t just want a healthier mind. We want a mind renewed by His truth. We don’t just want to live longer. We want to LIVE the life God has given us wholeheartedly and use it for His glory. That is what being spiritually fit is all about. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 So open your Bible, open your heart, and come dig into this with me. Because if Jesus really IS who He claimed to be, then we can’t just admire Him. We have a decision to make. Who do YOU say Jesus is? And is He truly at the CENTER of your life? I'd love to hear your thoughts after you listen.

Send us Fan Mail Can you really trust the Bible? In a world that says, "Your truth is your truth," how do we know what is actually true? In this episode series of The Warrior Up Podcast, we're taking an honest look at one of the most important questions you can ask: Is the Bible reliable? We'll explore the historical evidence, archaeological discoveries, ancient manuscripts, and fulfilled prophecy that have given millions of believers confidence that God's Word is trustworthy. My prayer is that this conversation will strengthen your faith, equip you to confidently share the hope you have in Jesus, and encourage you to know God more deeply through His Word.

Send us Fan Mail Last week we asked, "Who told you that?" This week we're asking an even bigger question: Who is God... really? The way you see God shapes the way you see everything else. If your view of Him has been formed by culture, painful experiences, or even what someone else has told you instead of Scripture, it changes the way you trust Him, follow Him, and even see yourself. In this episode, we'll discover how God has revealed Himself through creation, through His Word, and ultimately through Jesus Christ. We'll explore why knowing God changes everything, replacing false pictures of Him with the truth revealed in His Son. Because when we know God as He has revealed Himself, we begin to understand His Word, our identity, our purpose, and even why caring for our spirit, mind, and body matters. Key Scriptures: John 14:9 Hebrews 1:3 Colossians 1:15 Jeremiah 9:23-24 John 17:3 Romans 1:20 Psalm 19:1 I'd love to hear from you. What has helped you know God more deeply?

Send us Fan Mail Hey Fit Sister, Have you ever stopped and asked yourself, Who told me that? Every day, we're surrounded by voices telling us who we are, what matters most, and how we should live. But what if some of those voices aren't leading us toward Jesus at all? In this first episode of a brand-new series, we'll open God's Word together and discover why what we believe shapes every part of our lives. We'll go back to the Garden of Eden, talk about one of the most important lessons God taught me as a young woman, and learn how to train our hearts and minds to follow Jesus instead of the world. My prayer is that this episode helps you recognize the Shepherd's voice more clearly, stand firmly on the truth of Scripture, and joyfully surrender every part of your life to Him. Scriptures: Genesis 3, Romans 12:1-2, Proverbs 4:23, Luke 6:45, John 10:27, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and more.

Send us Fan Mail Let’s talk, Fit Sister… What does the Bible really say about your body? We live in a culture filled with conflicting messages. Body positivity tells us one thing. Fitness culture tells us another. Social media, influencers, and the world all have opinions about how we should look, feel, and think about our bodies. But as Christian women, there’s a much more important question we need to ask: What does God say? In Episode 161 of the Warrior Up Podcast, we’re opening God’s Word and having an honest conversation about body image, body positivity, self-love, health, fitness, aging, and what it really means to honor God with the bodies He has given us. After more than 30 years in the fitness industry, I’ve watched women obsess over their bodies, hate their bodies, neglect their bodies, and make their bodies their identity. I’ve had to let God change some of my own thinking through the years too. The Bible gives us a better way. Aren’t you so thankful? In this episode, we’ll talk about: 💜 Why your body matters to God without becoming your identity 💜 What creation, the Fall, redemption, and resurrection teach us about our bodies 💜 The difference between body obsession, body hatred, and biblical stewardship 💜 Why caring for your health can become an act of worship 💜 How to think about weight, fitness, aging, hormones, pain, and physical limitations through a biblical worldview 💜 The question that can change the way you care for your body: “Lord, how can I honor You with the body You’ve entrusted to me today?” Your body is not your identity. Jesus is. (Can I get an Amen?) But your body does matter to God. He created it, Christ redeemed you, the Holy Spirit dwells within believers, and one day God will raise His people in glory. So instead of allowing culture to tell us how to think about our bodies, let’s go back to the truth of God’s Word and learn what it means to faithfully care for the bodies He has entrusted to us.
