If you've been gaining belly fat, battling cravings, feeling exhausted, or noticing your energy drop no matter what you try, your body is communicating something important.

And it's not what the diet world tells you.

In this episode, we uncover the real message behind stubborn belly fat in women in ministry.

You'll learn:

- why belly fat often appears during spiritual or emotional burnout

- the metabolic + hormonal shift that happens when you pour out more than you refill

- how stress, leadership, and spiritual warfare impact your waistline

- three ministry-specific patterns that lead to weight retention

- simple steps to begin reversing this cycle (starting today)

Your belly is not betraying you.

Your body is not failing.

It's responding... and it's asking you for restoration.

This episode will bring clarity, relief, and hope as you navigate the intersection of faith, calling, and physical stewardship.

And over the next several episodes, we'll be building toward something powerful to support you even more deeply. Stay tuned.
