#1042 Riding the Craving Wave: Practical & Spiritual Tools with Alisa Keeton Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

When Kerry received a diabetes diagnosis and was offered a shot, she felt a quiet check in her spirit—convicted there was another way. She chose whole foods, consistent movement, and faith in God's possibility. Result: 31 pounds lost and A1C lowered naturally—no meds needed.

But like so many of us, Kerry still struggled with evenings—that tired pull toward a "reward" snack when the day finally winds down.

In this episode, Alisa coaches Kerry (and us) on why evening cravings hit hard, what's happening biologically after dinner, and how to meet those moments with kindness, wisdom, and Spirit-led alternatives.

Key Insights

Cravings are, at their root, a search for relief
How hormones can sometimes make the journey feel harder
The reliable path forward: whole foods in healthy portions, consistent movement, and giving the body time to heal and settle at its natural set point

Why Evenings Feel So Tough

Decision fatigue + shifting circadian rhythms reduce impulse control
Dopamine is actively seeking reward while rising melatonin naturally lowers restraint

Step One Awareness: simply noticing patterns and getting curious in the moment

Scripture Anchors

Hebrews 8: Set your mind on things above
Galatians 5: The flesh opposes the Spirit
Philippians 1:6: He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion

#1041 "Weight Gain = Safety Lost" A REVING the Word Endurance Workout Jan 05, 2026

Show notes

Kick off the year strong—train with Alisa! She's training you to love God and your body. So get moving: take a simple walk, ride your bike, or go for a run. This workout is where biology meets theology! Biologically change your markers of good health while drawing closer to God.

Key Scripture: Jeremiah 17:7 (NIV) "But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him."

Alisa presses into one powerful truth: We're all affected by the desire to change our bodies—especially as New Year's goals focus on weight loss.

Key Message: "Weight gain is about safety lost."

Quoteworthy: "How many of us are trying to get our bodies to look like something for the world to applaud?"

You were wired to know God. Will you turn to Him? Be reconciled to Him. Every step you take today, make it one that draws you closer to Him.

Alisa also teaches the difference between good stress (eustress) and anxiety, helping you understand how trusting God brings true safety and peace.

#1037 How The Biggest Loser Shaped a Generation's View of Transformation Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

In this honest and reflective episode, Alisa sits down with fan-favorite Ashlee Stohler to unpack the complicated legacy of The Biggest Loser – the reality TV phenomenon that dominated the 2000s and promised life-changing transformations through extreme weight loss.

Once celebrated as an inspiration, the show is now widely criticized for its harmful methods and long-term consequences. Alisa and Ashlee dive deep into how it amplified the toxic diet culture of the era, and why its messages still linger today.

Key Topics Discussed:

The dark reality behind the dramatic transformations: extreme calorie restriction, grueling workouts, and public weigh-ins that often led to metabolic damage, slowed metabolisms, and near-inevitable weight regain.
The underlying message that bodies are a problem to be "fixed" – and how that fueled shame, punishment mentality, and the idea that thinness equals worth.
How the show reinforced the illusion of quick, permanent change – and why sustainable health looks nothing like a marathon of deprivation.
Reflections on healing: Moving beyond the "biggest loser" era.

This conversation is equal parts nostalgia, critique, and hope – a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt the weight of diet culture or chased an unrealistic transformation.

#1036 "A Better Body" A REVING the Word Workout Dec 15, 2025

Show notes

Get ready to move your body and hear the Word of God! This REVING the Word endurance training session blends movement with biblical teaching on whole brain, whole body theology. Discover how physical activity activates more of your emotional brain (limbic system), allowing God's truth to sink deeper than just reasoning or information alone. Exercise isn't just good for your body—it's good stress (eustress) that builds resilience and opens your heart to receive from the Lord.

Key Scripture: Haggai 2:7-9 (NIV)

What to Expect in this Episode:

Move to Engage the Whole Brain: Science shows that movement lights up the emotional centers of the brain, helping us process God's Word not just intellectually, but experientially—heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Exercise as Good Stress: Physical activity is the healthy kind of stress your body needs, countering the bad stress of life and preparing you to receive God's peace.
The Reminder of Rebellion: When we resist God's call (like ignoring our bodies as His temple), He may "give us over" to the consequences—not to punish, but to lovingly win us back and draw us into freedom.
God's Promise in Haggai: He shakes things up to bring greater glory and ultimate peace. The "latter house" (our bodies, the Church, the new covenant) surpasses the former in splendor because Jesus, the Desire of All Nations, fills it.
This Year's Call: Step into a better body—not defined by size or performance, but marked by God's peace. Let Him shake off what's weighing you down and fill you with His glory.

#1035 "All Means All" A REVING the Word Walking Workout Dec 08, 2025

Show notes

Grab your shoes and let's hit the road (or trail, or treadmill)—today is an endurance workout! We're keeping a steady, strong pace while letting God's Word settle deep into our hearts, bodies, and bones.

Aaron's coming to you live from the deserts of Arizona, reminding us that if you're moving, you're doing it right. This isn't about another rigid routine—it's about finding a rhythm that serves YOU so you can serve what God has put in front of you today.

We're diving into the truth that God has already given you EVERYTHING you need for what He's called you to TODAY. If discontent is loud, it's pointing straight to the places we're trusting Him the least. Time to move, breathe, surrender, and play again.

Key Scripture: Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV) "…I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances… I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

What to Expect in This Episode:

A soul-stirring endurance pace that keeps you moving without burning you out
Raw, honest teaching on contentment, aging well, and why we stop playing
Powerful reminders: "All means ALL," "Show me your discontent and I'll show you where you trust God the least."
Fresh fire from Paul Scanlon's teaching on play and aging gracefully
Space to rate your contentment, surrender the gaps, and trust that Only He can fill them
A workout that leaves your body stronger and your heart lighter—ready to live fully alive TODAY

#1034 "Faith: Not the Size But the Kind" A REVING the Word INTERVAL Workout Dec 01, 2025

Show notes

Lace up your shoes, grab your mat, or hit the pavement—today is an interval workout! We're moving our bodies with purpose while training our hearts and souls in the truth of God's Word.

God's Word isn't just a band-aid, it's a healing salve that goes deep. Even when life feels hard, we are reminded that we have good bodies, bodies filled with Your life and breath. Every inhale is an invitation to surrender, every exhale a chance to release.

In this workout Alisa brings a fresh take on a familiar passage. This isn't about the size of your faith—it's about the kind of faith that moves mountains because it's rooted in the One who speaks and creation obeys.

Key Scripture: Matthew 17:14-20 (NIV) "…He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'"

What to Expect in This Episode:

High-energy intervals paired with truth-filled coaching to keep you moving
Powerful reminders that your body is good, alive, and designed for surrender and release
A fresh, life-giving perspective on the mustard-seed faith passage (it's not about how much you have, but Who you have)
Space to breathe, pray, and let God's Word work deeper than muscle
A workout that leaves you stronger in body and soul, carrying freedom and faith into the rest of your day

Best enjoyed with:

Headphones
Your favorite workout gear

#1033 "Enduring Joy" Be Still and Be Loved Biblical Meditation Nov 24, 2025

Show notes

In the rush of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in the pace and the demands—so much so that we forget the nearness and presence of God.

This guided Scripture meditation invites you to do something radical: slow down, breathe, and enter a tangible time of rest.

Through gentle reflection on Hebrews 12:2, you'll have space to become aware of what's weighing on your heart, release the things that bind you or hold you back, and hand them over to Jesus—the author and perfecter of our faith.

Leave this time strengthened, carrying renewed peace, love, and joy deep in your soul and even in your body.

Perfect for bedtime, a quiet afternoon, or any moment you need to recenter in God's presence. Come as you are. Leave lighter.

Key Scripture:

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." — Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)

What to Expect in This Episode:

A slow, soothing introduction to rest in God's presence
Extended moments of silence for deep breathing and awareness
Gentle prompts to notice tension (mental, emotional, physical) and release it
Reflective reading and meditation on Hebrews 12:2
Prayerful invitation to give God everything that binds or holds you back
Closing blessing of peace, love, and joy over your soul and body
