Living On Mission

Ephesians 5:6 says, “Let no one deceive you with empty arguments.” And wow—don't we see that all over the health and fitness world?Messages like:❌ “Perimenopause and menopause have to suck.”❌ “This supplement is the only way you'll survive this season.”❌ “The shot is the only way to finally lose weight.”These are nothing but empty arguments that keep women fearful, frustrated, and chasing quick fixes.But God has a better plan. His Word reminds us that our bodies were created with purpose and that true healing, peace, and strength come when we align with His original design—not the enemy's lies or the world's marketing tactics.In this episode, I'm encouraging you to:✨ Discern truth from deception.✨ Stop believing every health headline or flashy promise.✨ Anchor yourself in God's wisdom for how your body was designed to work.When we stop chasing empty promises and start walking in God's truth, we not only steward our health better—we find peace, freedom, and strength that no “fix” can offer.Let's stop being deceived by the noise of the world and instead tune our hearts to the voice of the One who designed us.I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram: @livingonmissionpodEmail: rachel@racheljmitchell.comJoin my next six week round of coaching!

Ephesians 4:30 reminds us: “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”As followers of Christ, we carry the Holy Spirit with us into every part of life—our work, our relationships, even our health and fitness. That truth is both a comfort and a conviction. If God's Spirit is always with me, am I living in a way that honors Him?In today's episode, I share how this verse challenges me personally to examine my daily habits, choices, and thought patterns. From the way I care for my body to the way I respond under stress, I want to live with a heart that pleases Him—not one that pushes Him aside.When we recognize the Spirit's presence, it changes everything. Conviction leads to freedom, not shame, because God is calling us closer to Himself.What you'll learn today:What it really means to “grieve the Spirit”How the Spirit's presence should shape our everyday decisionsPractical ways to invite the Spirit into your health journeyWhy conviction is a gift, not a burdenLet's learn to honor God in the way we live, move, and steward our bodies—because He is with us in it all.LINKS: The Daily Grace Co Ephesians StudyWordGO Bible Study I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram: @livingonmissionpodEmail: rachel@racheljmitchell.comJoin my next six week round of coaching!

Ephesians 4:24 says, “Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” This isn't a one-time decision—it's a daily act of surrender. Every day, we get to choose whether we live in our old patterns of thinking and behaving, or step into the new identity Christ has given us.In this episode, we'll talk about what it looks like to “take off” the old self in your health journey—whether that's unhealthy habits, negative self-talk, or striving in your own strength—and instead “put on” the new self, rooted in righteousness, grace, and freedom.You'll learn:How to recognize the old patterns of behavior and thought that keep you stuckPractical steps to replace unhealthy habits with life-giving onesWhy health is more about identity in Christ than willpower or quick fixesHow to walk in daily renewal so your body and spirit align with who you truly areThis journey isn't about perfection—it's about daily surrender and transformation. When you choose to put on your new self, your health habits begin to reflect the grace and freedom you already have in Christ.

So much of our health and fitness journey isn't about food or workouts—it's about our mindset. In Ephesians 4:23, Paul reminds us to “be made new in the attitude of your minds.” That means the real transformation begins by aligning our thoughts with who we are in Christ.In this episode, we'll dig into what it looks like to take captive the lies we believe about our bodies, food, and fitness, and replace them with the truth of God's Word. If you've ever thought, “I'll never change,” “I'll always struggle,” or “I'm not enough”—this message is for you.You'll learn:Why mindset matters more than motivation in lasting healthHow to recognize thoughts that don't align with ChristPractical ways to renew your mind daily in your health journeyThe freedom that comes when you stop letting the enemy dictate your thoughtsThis isn't about striving harder—it's about surrendering your thoughts and letting God's truth reshape how you live, eat, move, and care for your body.

Ephesians 4:22 says, “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires.”Sister, today we're digging into what it looks like to take off the old patterns that are keeping you stuck—whether that's shame-driven dieting, emotional eating, comparison, or neglecting the temple of your body.This isn't about willpower or performance—it's about surrender. Just as we take off old clothes that no longer fit, we can choose to take off the lies and behaviors that no longer belong to us as daughters of Christ.

Ephesians 4:20–21 reminds us: “That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in Him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.”Sister, this passage calls us to take a hard look at what doesn't line up with Christ—and name it. Whether it's fear, comparison, overeating, self-hatred, or shame, you have the authority in Jesus to say: “____ is not the way of life I learned in Christ.”In this episode, I'll challenge you to fill in that blank for yourself and surrender it to God. Because your stronghold does not define you—Jesus does. And when we call it out, we step into the freedom He died to give us.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why identifying strongholds is the first step to breaking freeHow Ephesians 4:20–21 reframes your identity in ChristA simple, practical exercise to put your stronghold in the light of God's truthEncouragement to walk in freedom and power todayScripture to Reflect On:Ephesians 4:20–21 – “That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in Him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.”Takeaway Challenge:Fill in the blank: “_______ is not the way of life I learned when I came to Christ.” Say it out loud. Write it down. Pray it over your life.

"You are not random. You are not a mistake. You are God's masterpiece."In this episode, we'll dig into the first part of Ephesians 2:10 and discover what it truly means to be His workmanship. We'll talk about how understanding that you were intentionally designed changes your motivation for health and fitness—and why caring for your body is about so much more than looking good.If you've ever felt frustrated with your body or wondered if it's even worth the effort to take care of it, this truth will change everything.Join the 5 Day Cortisol Reset I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram: @livingonmissionpodEmail: rachel@racheljmitchell.comJoin my next six week round of coaching!

Yesterday we talked about the why behind stewarding our time. Today, we're breaking down the how.

Because wise living doesn't mean doing more, it means living aligned with God's will and being present for the people and purposes He's placed in your path.In this episode, you'll hear:3 simple rhythms for stewarding your timeHow to discern between good and God-purposefulWays to pair your calendar with your callingA prayer for intentionality and marginTruth to Declare:“I will live with purpose and choose rhythms that reflect God's priorities.”I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram: @livingonmissionpodEmail: rachel@racheljmitchell.comJoin my next six week round of coaching!

In today's episode, we dig into Paul's powerful prayer in Ephesians 3:14–21 and remember that the strength we need is not something we muster up—it's something we receive.If you're feeling worn out, unseen, or unsure how to pray in this season, this episode is your invitation to lean into God's strength and pray boldly, using Scripture as your guide.

Your Identity Is Secure in the Holy Spirit

Welcome back to our Rooted in Ephesians series!Today we're resting in the truth of Ephesians 1:11–12:“In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of His glory.”You've been chosen. You've been included. You have an inheritance—a future and a position in the kingdom that you didn't earn, but were freely given in Christ.When you realize you're an heir, not an outsider, it starts to change the way you think.You don't have to live from insecurity, fear, or shame anymore.You don't have to chase value—you already have it.Your spiritual inheritance is a daily invitation to live like a daughter of the King, walking in purpose, identity, and peace—because your story is part of His glory.

Welcome back to our August series, Rooted in Ephesians.Today we're pausing with Ephesians 1:7–10, where Paul writes:“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of His will... to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.”These verses are a stunning reminder that your salvation wasn't cheap. It was bought with the blood of Jesus. He didn't just redeem your soul—He redeemed your story, your struggles, your body, your entire life.And when we truly grasp that—when we understand the weight and wonder of being redeemed—it changes how we live today. We no longer use our bodies out of shame, punishment, or neglect. We use them as a form of worship.We eat, move, rest, and care for ourselves not to earn anything, but in response to everything we've already been given in Christ.

Welcome back to Day 2 of our August podcast series, Rooted in Ephesians.Today we're resting in one powerful truth from Ephesians 1:4:“For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight.”Let that sink in for a minute… God chose you—on purpose, with love, and before the world even began. You were not an afterthought. You're not invisible. You're not trying out for God's approval like you're in some kind of spiritual audition.Before you ever performed, succeeded, failed, or fell apart—He had already said, “She's mine.”Today's episode is a reminder that your value is not in your productivity, your body, or your ability to keep it all together. Your value is in Christ. Full stop.

Welcome to Day 1 of our special August podcast series: "Rooted in Ephesians."Every weekday this month, we're spending just a few minutes together in the Word—anchoring ourselves in truth, speaking life over our days, and remembering who we are in Christ. Whether you're in carpool, at the gym, folding laundry, or sitting quietly with your coffee, this time is for you.Today, we start in Ephesians 1:3:"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ."In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be blessed - from the moment of salvation. God has already given you every spiritual blessing in Christ. That means you don't have to hustle for what you already have in Him: peace, purpose, security, identity, forgiveness, and strength.You're not working for blessing—you're walking from it.

In the final episode of the Strong in Spirit, Lean in Life series, Rachel wraps up with a heart-to-heart about why so many women chase fat loss from a place of guilt—and how to shift toward Spirit-led stewardship instead.This isn't about working harder.

You're eating clean—grilled chicken, salads, skipping desserts—but the scale just won't budge. If you're a midlife mom doing “all the right things” and still feeling stuck, this episode is for you.We're digging into why fat loss in your 40s and 50s requires a different strategy than it did in your 20s.

If your weekends - or week nights -are spent at the ballfield, you know how tempting it is to grab whatever's quick and call it “lunch.” But mama, your body deserves more.

Have you ever whispered to yourself, “I'll always struggle with this…”?In this vulnerable episode of Living on Mission, I'm sharing the moment everything shifted in my journey with food—and what it looked like to finally break free from strongholds that had held me back for years.Not through willpower. Not through another diet.But through surrender, healing, and a faithful God who never gives up on us.This episode is for every woman who feels stuck in shame, exhaustion, or the lie that lasting freedom isn't possible.Friend, Jesus is not done with you. And your breakthrough might be closer than you think.

If you've spent years striving in your own strength—obsessing over diets, falling into guilt cycles, or trying to “get it together” in your health—this episode is for you.In this honest and heartfelt conversation, we're talking about what it really looks like to surrender your health to the Lord. Not just your food choices or workouts, but the deeper places: your strongholds, your sin struggles, and the habits that keep pulling you away from freedom.You'll be reminded that God doesn't want your perfection—He wants your dependence. This isn't about giving up… it's about laying it all down and trusting Him to carry you through.

In today's episode of Living on Mission, we're breaking down the science behind lasting fat loss—and why it should never be rushed. If you've been tempted by quick fixes like Weight Watchers or Ozempic, or feel frustrated that your results aren't coming fast enough, this is your reminder that true transformation takes time, intention, and faith.You'll learn why fat loss is a slow and scientific process, how your body is wired by God to heal and adapt, and what Scripture says about stewarding your health with patience and peace. This episode combines common sense, metabolic truth, and spiritual encouragement to help you stay the course without shame or stress.

In this powerful episode, we dive into Judges 1 and 2—specifically verses 2–3—and explore what it means to fully surrender every area of our lives to the One True God.Too often, we hold onto "Canaanites"—habits, mindsets, strongholds, or stumbling blocks—that keep us from honoring God with our bodies. Whether it's emotional eating, comparison, neglect, or striving in our own strength, God is calling us to clear the land.You'll walk away from this episode feeling convicted, encouraged, and equipped to identify the spiritual clutter that's standing in the way of your physical obedience. Because the way we care for our bodies matters in the Kingdom.

If you workout as a woman, I'm sure you've wondered this exact thing! I get asked on a weekly basis from my clients and followers if we should workout FASTED (without a pre-workout meal) as women.

Prolonged periods of intense workouts without food CAN damage your hormone and your health and lead to fat gain.

You will NEVER regret giving something up to grow closer to God.  Christy's story is a beautiful testimony to God calling us out of a life of complacency and into grace and abundance in Him!  An author, lawyer, and double certified sobriety and life coach, Christy traded in her days and nights drinking alcohol to now become an advocate for living a life of sobriety.  In her own words,"It looked like I had it all.
