Today, author and Christian body image coach, Heather Creekmore, will encourage you with 4 strategies to age well that have a much greater impact on your health and on the way you feel about aging than any kale salad or cycling class. She'll look at how the science shows that gratitude can extend your life and improve your health. Similarly, she'll look at how finding community and activities you have fun doing can do the same. Heather talks about why it's not helpful to follow a restrictive diet and be rigid with exercise if you want to age well, because there's more to aging than just the way we eat and move.

In this episode, we're taking a look at a portion of Luke chapter 8. This passage challenges us, but it also encourages us to go all-in with Jesus, trusting Him utterly & completely, believing that He is who He says He is and that He does exactly what He has promised to do. This episode sponsored by Heather Creekmore's book Aging Gratefully, available on Amazon. Jesus Calms the Storm 22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out. 23 As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger. 24 The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we're going to drown!” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. 25 Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?” The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!” Thanks for listening to the podcast & I hope it has been encouraging for you!

Do you feel like you're losing the battle against aging? Do you feel discouraged with how you look and feel? This episode will bring life to your soul. Heather's new book, Aging Gratefully, is not a quick fix or how-to guide but rather a loving message of truth and grace. You will find freedom inside the pages of her book and this interview with the author.

Aging. Grateful. Those are two words you don't usually see in a sentence together. Culture tells us that aging involves wrinkles, extra pounds, arthritis, and graying hair. And its answer to aging's many problems? Fight back! And we do, wearing ourselves out physically, emotionally, and spiritually in the process. But the Bible speaks about aging differently—that each year is a gift from God. Join us as Heather Creekmore talks about Aging Gratefully. She is offering us humorous encouragement and sincere hope for this stage of life by pointing us each day to something we have to be thankful for in our current seasons. She guides you in prayer, giving words to your practice of gratitude, and then gets you moving to put your thanksgiving into action. Tune in to find reasons to laugh out loud, reminders to live abundantly, and a solid rationale for why aging and grateful really do belong together. Connect with Heather: @compared to who

I hope you are ready for some candid conversations about aging today. I had so much fun with Heather Creekmore bemoaning some of the aspects of aging, and then pivoting that around and talking about how we can be grateful at the same time. Heather and I are just a few months apart and we talk about some of the surprising effects of aging, choosing praise rather than despair about our aging bodies, and how we have both been humbled as we have gotten older.We discuss:Her biggest surprise of agingHow choosing praise with frustrations of aging can help our heart and mindThings we forget to be grateful for as we ageGet your copy of Aging Gratefully here.Connect with Heather:Compared to Who PodcastImproveBodyImage.comInstagram: @comparedtowhoSupport the Show.Receive my free monthly journal full of food, fitness, faith, fun & moreConnect with Amy: GracedHealth.comJoin the Graced Health community on Facebook!

Find the show notes here: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/304 Is it too late for me and my dream?  If you had asked college-aged-me if my parents were old, I'm sure I would've said yes. And I wouldn't have meant it as a compliment But what about wisdom? What about the value of life experience? What does the Bible have to say about our value in the midst of inevitable aging? When former podcast guest Heather Creekmore reached out to share her new book Aging Gratefully with me, I was convinced this was a topic we all need to consider. (Also, go listen to her previous episode, #231, on How to Trust God's Calling on Your Life Even When You Feel Unqualified—it is among the top three downloaded Devoted Dreamers episodes of all time!) If you've felt the pressure to be perfect or feared having missed your chance to pursue a dream, this conversation offers hope, truth, and a much-needed perspective shift that God's calling transcends age because wisdom and experience are assets, not hindrances. As you listen, pay close attention to what Heather's story reveals about: 

Today we continue our mini-series on aging and explore the tricky topic of what to do when your clothes no longer fit. Heather talks about the reality that women's bodies do change and that over the years we will wear different sizes because our bodies will respond to aging, stress, pregnancies, and other changes in our lives in physical ways. So, what do you do when you have a closet full of clothing and nothing to wear? Heather offers encouragement over how to not feel shame about getting rid of clothes that aren't the right size, what to do when you're stressing out about having to go up or change sizes, and how you can turn the narrative of shame around getting rid of clothes into a beautiful way to bless others. If you've got a closet full of clothes from decades past, this episode is for you.

What would Jesus say about your efforts to get healthy? When you wake up in the morning, is your first thought about what you ate the night before? Has your lifelong obsession been to finally like what you see in the mirror?With the launch of Comparison Girl for Teens, I've invited a number of guests to join me on the Live Like It's True podcast, to talk through various ways we tend to compare ourselves and what Jesus has to say about it. In this episode, we are comparing our skin-deep packaging. Often we're not only comparing our appearances with others; we're comparing ourselves against what we're "supposed" to look like. Guest: Heather CreekmoreBible Passage: Whitewashed Tombs - Matthew 23:27-28Teen Comparison Quizzes: ComparisonGirl.comMentioned Resources40 Day Body Image Workbook by Heather CreekmoreAging Gratefully by Heather Creekmore Comparison Girl for Teens: Thriving Beyond Measure in a World That Compares by Lee Nienhuis and Shannon PopkinCompared to Who?

Today host Heather Creekmore delves into the topic of aging and the fear that often accompanies it. She talks about the cultural pressure to stay young, the struggle with body image, and the desire to remain relevant in a society that values youth. Heather shares insights from her new book, "Aging Gratefully," a 30-day devotional for women that covers various aspects of aging, from bodily changes to finding purpose in midlife and beyond. Throughout the discussion, she encourages listeners to consider the biblical perspective on aging and to embrace the reality of getting older with gratitude and trust in God's plan. Heather's discussion spans a range of topics surrounding aging, including the cultural pressures and myths associated with aging, the changing seasons of life, and the fear of becoming irrelevant. She also highlights the biblical perspective on aging, offering a refreshingly positive viewpoint on something our culture points to as negative. One significant topic Heather focused on was the symbolism of graying hair and how it has been distorted by cultural messages. Drawing from Proverbs 16:31, Heather shares how marketers convinced us that gray hair would ruin our lives, but how the Bible tells us that gray hair is a crown of glory, representing wisdom and victory. As we dive into the concept of aging gratefully, Heather challenges us to shift our mindset away from cultural norms and expectations and embrace the unique beauty that comes with every season of life.
