In this gentle Scripture meditation, Alisa Keeton invites you to intentionally pause and place yourself in a posture of receiving. As you settle into stillness, you'll be encouraged to notice where you're carrying weight, stress, or concern and welcome God into those places. This is a sacred invitation to say, "God, I need You.

As He finds you, He brings peace, lightness, and the reassurance that you do not have to carry life's burdens alone. Come as you are. Bring what hurts. Bring what feels heavy. God's presence is already near. Anchor Scripture "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?" — Psalm 139:7–12 How to Use Be Still and Be Loved Find a comfortable, quiet place and press play on this gentle biblical meditation.

2w ago00:37:49Tap to summarizeWhy are bodies getting smaller while the pressure on women keeps getting bigger? In this honest conversation, Alisa explores the cultural history behind "skinny" and how thinness became more than a body type—it became a value system. From social media and celebrity culture to the rise of GLP-1 medications, she unpacks the modern obsession with shrinking ourselves and asks: how did we get here? For most of human history, thinness was not the ideal. Curvier bodies once represented wealth, health, abundance, and freedom from hard labor. So what changed? Alisa traces the major cultural shifts beginning in the 1700s, when thinness became tied to morality, status, control, and virtue through the influences of classicism, racism, and religious legalism. She also discusses how Enlightenment thinking separated people from their bodies—teaching us to live "from the head up" while distrusting the body God created. This episode isn't about health. It's about the spiritual and emotional roots beneath the desire to be smaller. Along the way, she explores why God delights in diversity. Creation itself reveals a Creator who loves variety—not uniformity. From ecosystems and landscapes to personalities, gifts, and bodies, God's design reflects abundance rather than sameness. What if body diversity wasn't a problem to solve, but part of God's good and intentional design? We also talk about: The intense pressure women face to stay thin The influence of social media and celebrity culture The growing normalization of GLP-1 medications How body ideals have changed throughout history Why God values diversity in His creation, including our bodies What the Bible actually says about gluttony Why behavior change without heart healing never lasts The spiritual chains hidden beneath body obsession Most importantly, she asks the question that culture rarely asks: Who are you becoming? The gospel does not call us to become thinner versions of ourselves. It calls us to become more like Christ. While the world focuses on shrinking bodies, God is concerned with transforming hearts. Freedom begins when we stop measuring our worth by our appearance and start allowing Christ to form His character within us. At the root of every body struggle is a deeper question: What's happening in the heart that's driving the behavior? This episode is a call to a Body Reformation—a reformation of value and worth. The goal is not a smaller body, but a freer heart. Not conformity to culture, but transformation in Christ. Because the question that matters most isn't How do I look? But who am I becoming?

2w ago00:39:29Tap to summarizeIn this Walk + Talk episode, Aaron Brewer invites you to move your body while engaging with the Word of God and reflecting on what it truly means to love others well. Lace up your shoes and bring your whole self—body, mind, and spirit—as Aaron keeps you company on your walk, run, or workout. This is more than a podcast to listen to. It's one to experience. A Question to Reflect On As you move today, consider this: Can someone belong with you before they believe like you? How welcome would an unbeliever feel around you? Would they sense openness? Curiosity? Compassion? Or would they feel pressure to perform, prove, or pretend? Belonging Before Belief Jesus consistently created space for people before they fully understood who He was. He saw people. He walked with people. He welcomed people. Today's conversation invites us to examine how we carry ourselves as followers of Christ—and whether our lives reflect the kind of welcome Jesus offered. As You Move Stay open. Stay honest. Notice what rises up in you as you reflect. Where might God be expanding your compassion? Where is He inviting you to love more like Him? Keep moving. Keep listening. And remember: sometimes belonging is the very thing that opens the door to belief. New to REVING the Word? Press play and take this episode on a walk, run, hike, or to the gym.

3w ago00:37:51Tap to summarizeWhat if today's workout helped you see yourself the way God does? In this movement episode, Alisa Keeton reminds you that this workout is a gift—not an obligation. You don't have to do this. Don't let your flesh bully you around. So begin with grace. Move with openness. And invite God to meet you here. Today's Scripture 📖 1 Samuel 16:7 "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." Where our eyes naturally go, God often is not looking. We tend to focus on appearance, performance, and externals. But God sees deeper. And if we want to live fully alive, we need Him to help us see what He sees. The Heart of the Matter Your heart is what makes you, you. Scripture describes the heart as the center of everything: your thoughts your emotions your desires your understanding your will your soul The inner man. The inner woman. Today is an invitation to let God do an MRI of the heart—not with shame or fear, but with love and truth. Move and Notice As you move today, pay attention: What's happening beneath the surface? What thoughts keep rising up? What emotions are asking to be acknowledged? Look around. Slow down enough to see differently. Ask God to help you see yourself—and others—the way He does. Keep moving. Stay curious. And let Him meet you at the heart.

If your mind feels full or your body is carrying the weight of hurry and pressure, this time is for you.

Apr 2700:41:59Tap to summarizeWhat if today's workout didn't start with effort—but with rest? In this episode, Alisa Keeton invites you to begin by receiving. Take a breath. Turn your palms up. This isn't a "have to." It's an invitation. Let this message move from your head into your bones. Start from Rest So much of our frustration—our lack of joy and abundance—comes from forgetting how to live from rest. We treat the body like a problem to fix. But your body is part of how you connect with God. It matters to the Kingdom. Move with Ease As you move, carry an ease in your body. There is a rhythm of the Spirit many of us haven't yet experienced—so today, we step into it. Not forcing. Just flowing. Body + Nervous System Movement engages your nervous system—your gas pedal and your brake. Which one are you pressing most? Where might God be inviting you to slow down? Today's Scripture 📖 Matthew 11:28–30 "Come to me… and I will give you rest." Rest isn't something you earn. It's something you receive. Practice Stay soft. Stay aware. Let your body experience the ease of God. New to REVING the Word? Press play and take this episode on a walk, run, hike, or to the gym.

Apr 900:39:09Tap to summarizeIn this timely and honest conversation, Alisa Keeton explores the rise of GLP-1 medications and the deeper story beneath the headlines. While these drugs are being celebrated—even evolving into new versions that promise muscle gain—Alisa invites us to pause and ask a better question: What is our body actually trying to tell us? This episode goes beyond weight loss trends and into the heart of human longing, safety, and connection. Because often, the issue isn't just food noise—it's the pain that came first. When we don't feel safe, seen, or loved, our bodies respond. And sometimes, that response looks like reaching for food. But what if healing isn't found in silencing the signal… but in listening to it? In This Episode, You'll Learn: What GLP-1 medications actually do in the body Why the cultural push toward "skinny" is resurfacing The connection between emotional safety and eating patterns How "food noise" is often rooted in unmet needs The role of the vagus nerve in hunger, fullness, and nervous system regulation Why low vagal tone can disrupt your body's ability to feel satisfied How Scripture reframes rest, repentance, and true salvation A Deeper Reflection: "Where there is no love, there is noise." Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13, Alisa connects the dots between love, safety, and the internal signals we often try to override. When love feels absent, the body gets louder. Science + Faith Connection: This episode references research highlighted in Scientific American (June 2024) exploring how GLP-1 medications interact with the brain—and how the vagus nerve plays a key role in signaling satiety. So What Can You Do? If your body feels dysregulated or disconnected, there is hope. Here are simple, natural ways to support your body's GLP-1 response and restore nervous system balance: 1. Activate the Vagus Nerve (your "rest and restore" pathway): Breathwork (the most effective place to start) Gentle, rhythmic movement (walking, swaying, bouncing) 2. Use Your Voice: Humming Singing 3. Support Your Body Physically: Cold exposure (cold showers, plunges) Heat (sauna) 4. Nourish Your Gut + Hormones: Fiber (25–30g daily) Adequate protein Fermented foods for microbiome health 5. Restore Rhythms: Prioritize quality sleep Practice slow, mindful eating Featured Resource: 👉 Be Still and Be Loved: Body Scan (A gentle way to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with your body) 👉 Get connected: revelationwellness.org | Instagram | YouTube 👉 Join RW+ for community, faith-fueled workouts, and real freedom (including our Food & Body Freedom Group): [link] 👉 Train with us — become a Revelation Wellness Instructor or LiveWell Coach: [link] Loved this episode?

Apr 600:38:39Tap to summarizeLace up your shoes and head out for a walk, run, or workout as Aaron keeps you company. This isn't just a podcast you listen to—it's one you do. This is your invitation to bring your whole self—body, mind, and soul—into today's movement. Before you begin, take a moment to check in: How does your body feel? Is there tension? Ease? What about your emotions—are you feeling steady, excited, heavy? A Conversation on Leadership and Focus In today's episode, Aaron unpacks the tension between celebrity Christianity and true, faithful leadership. Somewhere along the way, leadership can shift from shepherding people to managing systems—focused on processes, scalability, and efficiency. But when care for people is replaced with performance, we miss the heart of what leadership is meant to be. In Exodus 18, Aaron shares one of the clearest models of leadership structure in the Old Testament. Moses receives wise counsel built on instruction from God. Leadership is never meant to replace dependence on God. Fix Your Eyes Sometimes, we miss out on Someone because we're too focused on something else. We don't come to the Bible just for answers or outcomes. We come to encounter God. 📖 Matthew 6:33 reminds us: "Seek first the kingdom of God…" Not results. Not recognition. Not influence. He is the prize. What Moses Teaches Us It's easy to chase leadership as a skillset—but without God's instruction, we end up leading in our own strength. Don't leave Him out of your plans. Keep Him in your purpose, your principles, your ministry, your leadership. Questions to Carry As you move today, consider: What is God instructing you to do right now? What small step can you take today? You don't need the full roadmap. Trust that as you walk with Him, He will illuminate the next step. Keep moving. Stay present. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Because in the end— He is the prize. 🎧 Playlist for This Workout I Met God on the Dance Floor (Rave Jesus) Hey DJ (Forrest Frank) Espresso - Instrumental (Sabrina Carpenter) Just Believe (Brandon Lake & Bailey Zimmerman) Blinding Lights - Instrumental (The Weeknd) HolyGhost (Sons of Sunday) I Know a Name (Brandon Lake & CeCe Winans) Get Connected: 👉 Join RW+ for community, faith-fueled workouts, and real freedom (including our Food & Body Freedom Group): [link] 👉 Train with us — become a Revelation Wellness Instructor or LiveWell Coach: [link] 👉 Follow Us: revelationwellness.org | Instagram | YouTube Loved this episode?
