Podcasts about midweek motivation

Relentless Forward Progress isn't just an ultrarunning principle — it's a blueprint for the Christian life. In this Midweek Motivation episode of the Run the Riot Podcast, David shares how the mindset that carries you through mile 80 of a 100-miler is the same mindset that builds spiritual endurance. When the body is tired and doubt creeps in, runners keep moving forward. When faith feels dry and life feels heavy, believers do the same. This episode explores: Ultramarathon mindset and mental toughness Endurance training and spiritual growth Staying consistent in your walk with Christ Overcoming doubt, drift, and discouragement Faithfulness over feelings Whether you're training for your first ultra, chasing a 100-mile finish, or learning how to stay steady in your faith, this message will challenge and encourage you to keep stepping — even when it's not pretty. The original song “Relentless” plays after the episode. #ultrarunning #christianmotivation #midweekmotivation #mentalstrength #endurance #faithandfitness

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!In this episode, Gina and Odette shift the focus to what it really means to optimize and feed the metabolism, especially for those in maintenance. They break down why weight loss has never been about eating less and punishing your body, but about consistently giving it what it needs so it feels safe enough to let go of fat. From splitting up meals and snacks to eating to satisfaction and staying hydrated, the conversation reinforces that we feel our best when the body is supported, not stressed. Along the way, Gina challenges old diet culture narratives and reminds members that this process is about rebuilding trust with your body, strengthening your mindset, and creating the kind of metabolic momentum that makes maintaining your weight feel not just possible, but natural.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit livymethod.com.

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!This week, Gina is joined by the manager of the Weight Loss Program, Kim. Together, they remind listeners that maintaining is about more than just following a food plan. It's about checking in with yourself, doing a daily “vibe check,” and recognizing the habits and beliefs that have shaped your relationship with food. From reflecting on bites that may or may not have been worth it, to calling out the lasting impact of diet culture, they keep it real about why consistency matters and why self-compassion is non-negotiable. They reinforce that the process is as much about rewiring your mindset as it is about what's on your plate, encouraging listeners to trust the process, stay present, and remember that sustainable change comes from working with your body, not against it.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit livymethod.com.

Welcome to your Midweek Motivation!This week, Gina is joined by the manager of the Weight Loss Program, Kim. Together, they remind listeners to start with a simple vibe check and get honest about how they're really doing, especially in the middle of a 91-day commitment to themselves. They unpack the difference between choices that truly bring joy and the habits or triggers that keep people reaching for “bites of bits,” encouraging self-awareness instead of guilt. With real talk about the damage diet culture has done and why sustainable change requires more than just following a food plan, they reinforce that weight loss is as much mental as it is physical.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit livymethod.com.

David, known as a man after God's own heart, shows us what it looks like to quiet the noise of anxiety, comparison, and distraction by trusting God's sovereignty, resting in His presence, and running to Him daily.If you've been feeling overwhelmed or pulled in too many directions, this episode will help you slow down, refocus, and realign your heart with Jesus.In this episode, you'll discover:Why distraction and anxiety often grow when we stop trusting God's sovereigntyWhat David did differently than Saul when pressure and fear set inHow worship helps quiet the noise and re-center your heartWhat it really means to rest in your identity in ChristWhy running to God instead of solving everything yourself changes everythingHow resolve and obedience lead to lasting peaceNo matter what season you're in, God is inviting you to turn down the noise and refocus on Him.About Westside Community ChurchWestside is a place made up of real people from all walks of life.

If you've been telling yourself you've “fallen off track” this year, this episode is for you.In this raw, honest conversation, I open up about my own struggle to find my groove again in the new year and the uncomfortable truth I had to face along the way.Most women don't derail their progress with one big mistake.They quietly loosen their standards.A skipped habit here.A little negotiation there.A plan that slowly becomes optional.By the end of the week, they feel flat, frustrated, and disappointed, but can't pinpoint what went wrong.In this episode, I break down: • Why “falling off the wagon” is usually a myth • How lowered standards quietly sabotage weight loss and self-trust • The difference between motivation problems and containment problems • Why midweek is where identity either holds or leaks • How emotional eating sneaks back in through micro permissions • What to do when you feel off track without doing anything extreme • How to raise your standards again without punishment, restriction, or a full resetThis isn't about being harder on yourself.It's about being more honest with yourself.If you've been blaming motivation, hormones, or willpower, this episode will help you see the real issue and fix it before another week slips away.Get Kylie's exact weight loss BlueprintGet Kylie's Free Weight Loss CourseFollow Kylie on InstagramBOMBSHELL BLUEPRINT WEIGHT LOSS FOR EMOTIONAL EATERS

Send us a textIn this week's Midweek Motivation, Jess sits down with Bart Hafeman, Weekend Experience Director and worship leader at Westside Community Church, for an honest conversation about surrender, identity, and what happens when we loosen our grip on control.Bart shares his journey from becoming a Christian at 16, to decades of success leading the band Hit Machine, through a long spiritual “dry spell,” and into a season where everything came crashing down during COVID. Through loss, uncertainty, and deep wrestling, Bart learned what it truly means to seek first the Kingdom of God—and to allow faith and calling to come back together as one integrated life.This conversation explores fear, obedience, dual identity, and the courage it takes to trust God with outcomes we can't control.Discover:Bart's early faith story and how music played a role from the beginningThe tension between public success and private surrenderHow COVID became a turning point that redirected his callingWhat it looks like to integrate faith and vocation without fearWhy “less of me, more of Him” is more than just a phraseAs we continue the King of Hearts series, this episode challenges us to examine where control, fear, or divided identity may be keeping God from being at the center—and invites us to trust Him with what's next.Key Takeaways:God often uses loss to realign our prioritiesFear doesn't disappear before obedience—it follows itLiving integrated faith brings freedom, not restrictionLetting go of control creates space for God to moveQuestion for You to Think About:Where might God be inviting you to loosen your grip and trust Him with the outcome?If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope this week, and consider joining us in person or online at Westside.

Ever feel stuck? Like you've drifted too far off course and don't know how to get back? In this Midweek Motivation, we talk about the power of one sentence — and how it can be the spark that changes everything. Inspired by Run the Riot athlete Phil Klinkner, this short episode unpacks the moment he stood still in the woods, took a deep breath, and said out loud:“Something has to change.” Whether you're battling self-doubt, stuck in a rut, or just coasting through your week, this episode reminds you that you don't need the full plan — you just need a starting point. That starting point might be a sentence. Listen to Phil's full story here: www.theriot.run/philk Ready to make your own shift? Learn more about coaching: www.theriot.run/coaching
