Register for our Fitness by Faith Study!

A good friend of mine recently told me how freeing and life-altering it had been to remove the full-length mirrors that lined her bathroom. She loved not having to see every inch of herself stepping out of the shower every day. It made so much sense to me, but at the same time I thought, "She is so beautiful. Why is it that we live in a world where we are burdened by unrealistic expectations and discontentment with our bodies? I wish I was free enough from the expectations of this world that it didn't matter what I saw in the mirror."

That is one reason I am so excited about the six-week book study we are starting this March in addition to our free fitness classes! Liveoak Ladies invite all women (ages 14 and up) to participate in our study on Fitness by Faith by Justeina Brownlee! Through this study we will get to know ourselves and each other as we search the motives behind why we exercise, renew our minds about our bodies and the way we look, and much more. I'm excited about comparing the perspective I've gained about fitness from the movies and magazines with God's perspective.

The study will take place on Saturday mornings at 10 a.m., after the free exercise classes. During our hour together, we will listen to Justeina Brownlee's blog-cast as well as discuss the assigned reading from her book, Fitness by Faith. You can get your copy of Fitness by Faith by Justeina Brownlee on Amazon or at trueidentityministries.com. As with the fitness classes, there will be child-care, and donations are greatly appreciated for our child care workers.

Please, come and invite your friends! Think of who you've been wanting to hang out with, and invite them!

Our first meeting will be Saturday, March 5. You don't need to read anything beforehand; the first blog-cast will give us a good introduction to the book. Can't wait to see you there!
