Are Hidden Toxins Stealing Your Family's Health?

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 16:38:00 CDT

What are hormone disruptors? What are the symptoms we may be experiencing as a result of them in our environment (and the good news of how to swap them out easily)?

The products sitting in your shower, under your kitchen sink, and in your laundry room right now — the ones designed to make your home cleaner, fresher, and more comfortable — may actually be working against you.

Through small, repeated daily exposures, hormone-disrupting chemicals (known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or EDCs) quietly interfere with your body's most fundamental systems. And thanks to what scientists call the "cocktail effect," dozens of these ingredients combine inside your body in ways that multiply their impact far beyond what any single chemical would cause on its own.

The symptoms they leave behind are ones too many families have simply learned to live with — fatigue that sleep doesn't fix, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, children developing too early, and even pets with unexplained skin and energy issues.

These chemicals aren't hiding in obscure places. They're in your shampoo, your non-stick cookware, your canned goods, your air freshener — and they're completely legal. Knowing where to look is the first and most powerful step.

The good news? You don't have to overhaul your entire life overnight. This post breaks down exactly where hormone disruptors are hiding, how to spot "greenwashing" on product labels, and how to make simple, manageable swaps that begin reducing your family's toxic load right away — all grounded in the truth that caring for the body and home God gave you is both practical wisdom and stewardship of the body the Lord has given you.

The World Needs Christian Health Coaches Now More Than Ever

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 20:06:00 CDT

In a world increasingly focused on whole-person wellness, the demand for health coaches who blend faith, science, and practical guidance is skyrocketing, offering a unique opportunity to make a profound impact on people's lives.

When we founded the Certified Health Coach Institute, our heart was to train women and men to be CHCs who integrate Biblical principles into whole-person wellness (spirit, soul, and body). Since 2014, we've been doing exactly that (and saving those called to be Health Coaches thousands of dollars with a program easily 1/10th to 1/20th the investment of other programs out there--ones that are sadly New Agey and lack a solid scriptural foundation).

Let's explore the leadership, service, and financial benefits of becoming a Certified Health Coach (CHC)—backed by recent global statistics that highlight the urgent need, proven effectiveness, and profitability of this rewarding path.

With people everywhere seeking faith-centered guidance for better health, there's no better time to become a CHC and share what you have to offer. Keep reading...

Jesus in the Feast of Tabernacles: A Joyful Reminder of the Lord's Presence with Us

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 17:27:00 CDT

The Feast of Tabernacles, also known as Sukkot, is celebrated from October 6 through the 13^th this year. It is the final biblical festival for ancient Israel.

Meaning "booths" or "tents" in Hebrew, Sukkoth commemorates God's provision during the Israelites' wilderness journey (Leviticus 23:42).

Today in Israel, thousands build sukkahs—makeshift tents—for dining and sleeping, symbolizing reliance on God's faithful presence.

For Christians, Sukkot foreshadows God's ultimate dwelling with humanity, as in John 1:14: "The Word (Jesus) became flesh and tabernacled among us."

Jesus Reveals His Messianic Identity as Living Water

Jesus also celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles. The Book of John, in chapter 7, tells us that one year the disciples went up to Jerusalem for Sukkot, but Jesus stayed behind and then came up secretly.

We Shall NOT be Moved

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 20:27:16 CDT

PraiseMoves has been thoroughly researched and endorsed as a clean and authentic Christian ALTERNATIVE to yoga since 2005 by numerous credible apologists, Christian researchers, and investigators. Despite this, some individuals have tried to misrepresent PraiseMoves by manipulating videos and selectively quoting from our materials without giving the whole story.

Critics often omit crucial context, such as the full explanation that while some PraiseMoves postures might visually resemble yoga, they are fundamentally different due to their scriptural foundation and purpose. The body can only move in a finite number of ways, not an infinite number of ways (more examples are given in the blog post - SEE "READ MORE" BELOW).

Endorsements from respected sources like Harvest House Publishers, the Christian Research Institute, and theologians such as Rev. Mike Shreve affirm PraiseMoves' integrity and mission. Despite facing criticism and misrepresentation from some quarters, PraiseMoves continues to grow and receive support, staying true to its directive to "KICK YOGA OUT OF THE CHURCHES." We remain focused on our spiritual objectives, trusting in the Lord and the protection against the enemy's tactics.

EXPECT A Miracle Today!

Wed, 07 May 2025 22:10:00 CDT

I took a walk this evening and had a revelation...

EXPECT a Miracle. RECEIVE that miracle by faith. And take ACTION.

A lot can happen in a day...even in a moment!

Here are some amazing things that happened IN ONE DAY:

Several million Israelites passed over the Red Sea, and the Egyptians who gave chase vanished in the sea--IN ONE DAY.

In 2008, after two summers of wildfires, the citizens of Macedonia planted 6 million trees--IN ONE DAY.

During the Revolutionary War, on March 4, 1776, George Washington's men created an "instant fort."

They wrapped their wagon wheels with straw to deaden the sound as they moved 60 cannons up a hill to protect a town from the British (who, seeing the pluck of the soldiers, decided not to attack).

The men did it IN ONE DAY (actually overnight!).

During World War II, the key to victory was being able to build weapons as fast as humanly possible -- and sometimes faster. Ford factories turned out one complete B-24 bomber per day.

A team of thousands of workers put together a 100,000-part aircraft without the aid of computers, and without the aid of many of the men who had been working in the factory before the war started.

And soon they were turning out ONE B-24 BOMBER PER HOUR!

Guys AND Gals made it happen IN ONE DAY, and then IN ONE HOUR!

Go, Rosie the Riveter!

What could YOU do IN ONE DAY? What could You Do TODAY?

What promise of God are you standing on?

🚀 3 Tips to Get Unstuck FAST

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 16:24:46 CDT

Feeling stuck is a common experience, but there is hope and a plan for moving forward. The Lord has a bigger and brighter future in store for you, and with faith-filled steps, you can start to see progress. Here are three practical tips to help you get unstuck fast and find clarity, peace, and purpose.

First, deepen your connection with God through prayer and Bible study. By prioritizing time with Him, seeking His guidance, and remembering His promises, you can find the encouragement and direction you need. Reflect on a promise from the Bible that speaks to your heart and let it be your anchor as you move forward.

Next, re-evaluate your situation and take action. Identify the root cause of feeling stuck, whether it's fear, past hurts, or a lack of clarity, and be willing to break free from the past with the Lord's help. Focus on one small, positive change you can make today, trusting in God as you step out in faith.

Will You Be My (Martyred Saint) Valentine?

Sun, 09 Feb 2025 17:04:00 CDT

Valentine's Day, traditionally celebrated with hearts, flowers, and romantic gestures, has intriguing historical roots linked to the martyrdom of Saint Valentine in 269 AD. This young believer was executed in Rome for his faith, and over time, his story became intertwined with mid-February celebrations of love, possibly replacing older pagan traditions. Interestingly, multiple legends suggest there could have been more than one martyr named Valentine who contributed to the holiday's origins.

According to ancient Christian writers, Valentine was known for aiding tortured Christians and eventually became a follower of Jesus while imprisoned. Despite facing execution, he reportedly maintained his faith, writing letters to friends with the phrase “Remember your Valentine.” Another account portrays Valentine as a priest who defied Roman orders, performing miracles such as healing a jailer's daughter and leaving her a note signed “Your Valentine” on the day of his death.

Today, while the exchange of romantic gifts continues to dominate the holiday, understanding its deeper historical significance can offer a renewed perspective on themes of love and sacrifice. Rather than diminishing the celebration, this knowledge can enrich it with a reminder that expressing love and faith need not be limited to one calendar day. As you enjoy the holiday's traditional elements, consider sharing the inspiring story of Saint Valentine and reflecting on the depth of commitment and faith it exemplifies.
