#173 - Peace Isn't The Result - It's The Way

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of frustration, guilt, and broken promises to yourself, this episode is for you. Today we’re talking about what it looks like to pursue peace in your Christian weight-loss journey — not as something you earn when you “get it right,” but as the very path that leads to lasting change.

You’ll learn why being mad at yourself doesn’t create progress, how peace can actually guide your decisions, and how telling the truth to yourself builds self-trust and spiritual alignment. God invites you to stop punishing yourself and start walking in grace — right where you are.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why self-criticism keeps you stuck in shame (not growth)

  • What the Bible says about pursuing peace, not just waiting for it

  • How peace with yourself reflects peace with God

  • What it means to tell yourself the truth and rebuild self-trust

  • How to take action from a place of peace, not pressure

Faith Anchor:
📖 1 Peter 3:11 – “They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.”

Powerful Quote from Today’s Episode:

“Peace isn’t the reward — it’s the way.”

Reflection Questions:

  • Am I waiting for peace to come after I reach a goal?

  • In what areas of my journey am I avoiding the truth?

  • What would it look like to walk in peace today?

Challenge This Week:
Speak one truth to yourself in love.
Plan your next step in peace.
Remind yourself: You’re not behind — you’re becoming.
