You feel it. The stress, overwhelm, anxiety. Your soul is burdened. It needs more. But we live in a world gone mad. How do you maintain your sanity and have an impact in the middle of the mess? Today I want to prepare you for battle. To expose you to areas of captivity so you don’t become a prisoner. I want to give you the keys to nourish your soul and live in freedom.
I have something different for you today on the Healthy Harmony podcast. I was asked to do a closing keynote address for the Early Childhood Christian Network. The room was filled with over 500 preschool teachers and directors. Many of them told me through their tears that this talk resonated with them. So, I've repurposed it here for you. My prayer is that it encourages you just like it encouraged them last week.
Here's the reality...you can do all the right things. Prepare clean, organic, healthy meals that are Pinterest and Insta worthy, have a solid workout routine, drink your water, read motivational books…but if your soul is not nourished you will never be fulfilled. You will never be truly healthy and live in freedom. Ever.
So, what is holding you back? Have you considered what might be keeping you captive?
In this talk, I outline the four areas of captivity. These areas of captivity are demonstrated with baggage, headphones, ball and chain and a mask. These areas include your past mistakes, guilt, shame, physical health, mental/emotional health, spiritual health, toxic thoughts, lies from the enemy and how we hide all of our struggles. And then I outline the 5 "R" action plan to walk in freedom. Be empowered as you learn about the vital importance of Reflect, Reject, Rally, Realign and Restore. It's time to look at what is most important in self-care and that is soul-care my friend!
