A Little Bit Of Me | Lifestyle Blog by Charnita Fance

If you love God but feel like your body, mind, and spirit aren't exactly working as a team, you're not alone. That gap between faith and real-life wellness is something a lot of Christians deal with quietly, and it's rarely talked about in an honest, practical way. I've felt it myself, especially while managing several health conditions and trying to understand how caring for my physical body actually fits into my walk with God. So when I had the chance to read the Rebuild Your Temple, God's Way® Signature Faith and Health Collection , I genuinely wanted to see what it had to offer. Full disclosure: I received both the Faith and Health Devotional and the Faith and Health Devotional Bible Study Workbook for free to share with my audience. That doesn't change my honest opinion one bit. These two books are part of a five-book faith-based wellness collection created by Certified Christian Health Coach Stephanie L. Franklin-Suber, and they're a lot more substa...

I recently received a copy of Faith Through the Storm: Nothing Can Stop What's Coming by Eli Shepherd for free in exchange for an honest review.  Now, I want to be upfront with you right from the start: before I even finished going through it, the company I worked with on this reached out to give me a heads up that there's some language in this book that they weren't previously aware of. They apologized, left it totally up to me whether I wanted to continue or share it, and honestly, I appreciated the transparency. That's not something every company does, and it went a long way with me. So where do I land on it? I don't personally mind a little rough language in a book, and I'm still sharing my review because I think a lot of you can benefit from knowing what's inside. But I also think it's fair to mention it upfront so you can make your own call, especially if you're particularly careful about what you read. With that out of the way, let me tell ...

Taking communion at home isn't something most Christians think about until they find themselves going weeks or even months without doing it at church. Some churches offer it every Sunday. Some do it once a month. Others rarely do it at all. The Bible doesn't say communion has to happen in a building. In 1 Corinthians 11:26, Paul says we should take it " as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup ," which leaves the timing completely open. That means you don't have to wait for a church service to observe this important part of your faith. I received these WCC Products communion cups for free to showcase and review, and I wasn't expecting to love them as much as I did. My husband and I had occasionally done communion at home before, but it always felt a little thrown together. Using cups that were specifically designed for this, with everything already inside and sealed, made it feel more intentional and sacred. If you've been curious about taking ...

It's officially that time of year where the aisles are flooded with neon plastic eggs and more chocolate bunnies than anyone actually knows what to do with. I'm all for a good candy hunt, don't get me wrong. But it's so easy to lose the actual story in the middle of all that sugar. When I'm looking for gifts for the little ones in my life, I want something that sticks. Something that lasts longer than a Peep's shelf life. I recently got my hands on a few titles from The Beginner’s Bible brand . They sent these over for me to check out, and honestly, they're just as bright and cheerful as I remember from years ago. Even though I don't have kids of my own, my house is usually a revolving door of family and friends with little ones. Plus, having a house full of pets (including two very opinionated rabbits, Lucy and Ricky) means I'm used to a bit of chaos. These books are built to survive that chaos. Disclosure: I received these items free in exchange ...
