Episode 1: Stephanie Nickel – Eclectically-Interested, Eclectically-Involved

About the Show

How can busy women find time to tend to their spiritual and physical health? Should Christian women even care about exercise and healthy eating? Does communing with God mean only prayer and Bible study?

Join author and fitness professional Kimberley Payne as she talks to Steph Beth Nickel, freelance writer and editor, labour doula, and former personal trainer, as they discuss the answers to these questions and more.

Steph doesn’t claim to have arrived–whatever that means exactly. She, like all of us, is on a journey.

At the end of their chat, don’t miss Steph’s quick tips regarding prayer, Bible study, exercise, and healthy eating.

Excerpt from our interview – BEEP model

Kimberley
What tip do you have for us for Bible study?

Stephanie
Read familiar passages slowly and carefully; you never know when the Holy Spirit will give you new insight.

Kimberley
Excellent. And eating healthy quick tip?

Stephanie

One of the benefits of healthy eating is the psychological boost that comes from knowing we’re doing something good for ourselves. Even before we see results, eating healthy is good for us.

Kimberley

And exercise?

Stephanie

As women of a certain age, as I mentioned before, we might think that rapid physical decline is part of a given. It doesn’t have to be if we include regular cardio and resistance training to our regular schedules.

Kimberley

And finally, your quick tip for prayer?

Stephanie

I think it’s best to start our day is to commit it to the Lord even before we crawl out of bed in the morning. I think that’s the very best way to start.
