    From Scripture to Soul: Tim King's Path to a Renewed Mind

    From Scripture to Soul: Tim King's Path to a Renewed Mind

    Embarking on a Holy Spirit-led odyssey can be a transformative experience, one that Tim King knows all too well. His story, a fusion of unwavering faith and the pursuit of spiritual rejuvenation, offers an intimate glimpse into a life altered by the power of scripture and self-reflection. As our conversation unfolded, Tim opened up about his background in a deeply religious home, his commitment to Bible study and prayer, and how his leadership within the church has evolved. This episode promises a journey not just of the mind, but of the soul, as Tim's testimony exemplifies the enduring quest for personal and spiritual growth.

    We then navigate the ripples of change as Tim's personal renewal starts to touch those around him. The emotional resonance of his experiences with personalizing scripture and the ensuing transformation of his thoughts and actions is palpable. Reflections on the challenges of letting go of his business, building deeper connections, and his aspirations to guide other men through their own struggles with insecurity and control, cast a wider net of inspiration. By the end, he reveals his plans to launch a men's ministry rooted in the principles of mind renewal through the Revelation Within ministry. Prepare to be inspired by an episode that not only shares the profound personal revolution of our guest but also serves as a beacon for those yearning to navigate their own transformation through faith and fellowship.

    Joy in Overcoming: Finding Value Beyond the Scale

    Joy in Overcoming: Finding Value Beyond the Scale

    Ever found yourself squirming in the doctor's office chair, feeling like every inch of you is under a microscope? That's where Christina found herself recently, and let me tell you, it sparked a cascade of self-reflection and a quest for deeper understanding. Our latest episode is a candid heart-to-heart about the intersection of health, self-worth, and our walk with Christ. We unravel the tangle of emotions that doctor's visits can provoke, confronting the discomfort head-on and embracing the transformative power of mind renewal. 

    Join us as we navigate the choppy waters of body image and self-worth, all stirred up by the seemingly mundane act of stepping onto (sitting in? 😜) a scale. Christina shares her personal story, touching on everything from the emotional fallout of weight gain to the resilience required to realign with God's truth. We delve into the importance of not letting these moments define us and finding our value beyond the physical.

    Wrapping up, we look back with a light-hearted touch at the lessons learned from these poignant experiences. Our tales aim to be a beacon of hope and guidance, affirming your worth and the joy of overcoming life's little trials. So, settle in and join us for a journey that promises laughter, revelation, and a dose of Godly wisdom. And remember, you are far more than a number on a scale.

    Embracing Grace: Heather Creekmore's Healing Journey

    Embracing Grace: Heather Creekmore's Healing Journey

    Have you ever found yourself in the mirror's reflection, wrestling with thoughts about your body that just don't align with your spiritual beliefs? Heather Creekmore, author and host of the "Compared to Who" podcast, joined us on "Revelation Within on the Go" to share her raw and real journey through body image battles, disordered eating, and the quest for cultural beauty standards that often veer away from our true selves and Christian principles.

    Throughout our conversation, Heather peels back the layers of her personal struggles, offering an intimate look at the mental tug-of-war she experienced in her pursuit of being the "best self" for God. As we trace her path from a young girl to a woman of faith, we uncover the transformative power of surrender. Heather's story, rife with the complexities of aligning diet culture with health and self-acceptance, reminds us that renewing our minds and engaging with intuitive eating can lead to a place where fear and control around food finally release their grip.

    In the end, Heather's insights shine a light on the societal pressures of body image and the idols of control and approval that can distort our self-perception. Her experiences form a beacon of hope, guiding us toward finding peace with our bodies and eating habits. As we bid farewell to Heather, we're left with a sense of gratitude for her wisdom and a renewed sense of encouragement to continue on our own paths to a more authentic and grace-filled life. Join us on this episode for a heartfelt exploration of these deep-seated challenges and the healing journey that lies ahead.

Encouraging and uplifting!

Heidi and Christina are such a blessing! The Lord is using them to reach out to those who want a closer relationship with Jesus and to find His peace in all areas of their lives.

Karen Lee Mayes ,

Targeting the source of the problem

We can change so much about ourselves - for awhile. We can tighten our grip, summon boatloads of willpower and force ourselves to “be better”. However, when the willpower fades or when life’s many challenges slap us in the face, we lapse. Then comes the guilt and sense of hopelessness (and often weight gain). It’s a terrible cycle; one I have wrestled with for decades. Thin Within teaches how to break that cycle by targeting the heart of the issue. For the first time in many years I am experiencing true, LASTING change - from the inside-out. I am so very grateful.

Debbie the Brent ,

Feeling hopeful

This podcast is encouraging, genuine and full of wisdom. I love that it is Bible based. Listening to Heidi and Christina’s story of how they have struggled gives me hope. Thank you🥰
