EPISODE 13: What I Did to Reach 92 on the Mission Field

Jeannie Marie gets personal about her physical health journey — what woke her up, why it matters specifically for global goers, and the practical changes she's making now. From walking and strength training to learning to see food as medicine, this is a candid, encouraging conversation about taking care of the body God gave you for the long haul.

Resources Mentioned:

• Book: Across the Street and Around the World 
• Free Video Training : 3 Secrets to Share Jesus naturally with your Neighbors and Nations

Key Takeaways:

• Physical health is a spiritual discipline — our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit
• Global goers push their bodies in unique ways; physical reserves matter for the mission
• 30-40 minutes of daily movement transforms mood, clarity, and energy
• Strength training matters — especially post-50, muscle loss is real and preventable
• Learn what foods fuel YOUR body — food journal, Whole30, or work with a nutritionist
• Aim for: 30 min movement daily, 9 servings of fruit/veg, 100g protein, 90 oz water
• Living overseas can make you healthier — cooking from scratch beats processed food
• No shame, no guilt — just honest conversations with God and yourself

This Week's Challenge: Keep a food and exercise diary for 7 days.
