Excerpt from our interview – BEEP model

Kimberley

So now we’re going to move on to the BEEP round. Jennifer will give quick tips on the four disciplines of Bible study, eating healthy, exercise, and prayer or BEEP. So what do you have for us for a quick tip for Bible study?

Jennifer

For Bible study, my quick tip is to find two or three Bible passages that counter whatever issues you’re facing. Such as anger or insecurity or maybe you’re discontent. Find those two or three passages and write them down and keep them with you so you can speak truth over those things that are holding you back from fully living your life for Jesus.

Kimberley

I love that, that’s a fantastic idea. And your quick tip for eating healthy?

Jennifer

For eating healthy, with summer on the way, now is the time to think colourful meals. I’m thinking green and yellow, red and orange. Really fill your plate with colourful foods because this is the perfect time of year to be able to do that and get fresh things. I also suggest serving two or three vegetables at dinner instead of just the one traditional vegetable.

Kimberley

That’s a good idea. Normally we just have one vegetable but to have more than one. And what’s your quick tip for exercise?

Jennifer

You know I don’t love exercise so my tip is that every minute counts. For example, I’ll see how many jumping jacks I can do while my coffee is brewing. Or if something is in the microwave I can do leg bends or arm bends. I can walk up and down the stairs during the commercials when I’m watching TV. I think every minute counts when it comes to exercise.

Kimberley

I love it. I know that Stephanie Nickel—who  is a regular contributor to my blog and she writes on exercise—she wrote a specific post just like that, exercises that you can do around the house, when you’re doing the dishes or brushing your teeth or anything like that. Yeah, every minute counts.

What do you have for a quick tip for prayer?

Jennifer

We pray when we are driving and when we are in the grocery store. We pray all the time, I hope, and that’s wonderful. However, I don’t want us to forget that we need to make time for that deep, quiet prayer without interruption. That’s when we go into our room, we can close the door, we can kneel before the Lord, and we can cry out to Him. We can be so silent before Him. And I want that to be the prayer tip is that we don’t forget to go to that secret, quiet place with Him on a regular basis.
