Now More Than Ever: The Sacred Calling of Motherhood

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

As I reflect on Mother’s Day this year, my thoughts are filled with gratitude for the incredible woman who has shaped so much of who I am—my mother. Though I’m not a mother myself yet, I see so much beauty and purpose in the role of motherhood, not just through the lens of what I’ve experienced as her daughter, but also through the understanding that it’s a sacred, soul-shaping calling designed by God. In my own life, I’ve seen firsthand how motherhood, with all of its challenges, joys, sacrifices, and blessings, is far more than “just” a job—it is part of God’s redemptive plan.

Genesis 3:16 tells us that, as a result of the fall, women would bear children “in pain and sorrow.” While this verse speaks of the reality of the struggles that come with motherhood, it also hints at the profound purpose within that pain. It is easy to view motherhood as a series of struggles, from the physical demands of pregnancy to the exhaustion of sleepless nights and the weight of trying to raise a child who walks in God’s ways. But I’ve come to understand that, as difficult as it can be, it is a pain with purpose. This purpose goes far beyond the momentary struggles—it’s the eternal impact motherhood has on shaping future generations for God’s Kingdom.

When I think of my own mother, I see how much sacrifice and love she poured into raising me and my siblings. I know that every day, she made choices that were not just for the moment, but for eternity. Proverbs 31:28 says, “Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” And I’ve done just that. I’ve risen up to praise my mom because of the sacrifices she made in raising me, even when it wasn’t easy, even when the days felt long and the challenges felt never-ending.

Motherhood is far more than just physical labor—it’s spiritual, emotional, and relational labor. It’s a divine calling that echoes God’s redemptive plan for humanity. The Bible tells us that children are a blessing from the Lord. Psalm 127:3 declares, “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.” There is no greater privilege than the role of a mother, and my mom has shown me the depth of that calling.

I’ve seen how my mother, though not perfect, has poured out her heart, her prayers, and her love into shaping me. She’s been a living testament to the idea that motherhood is not a task of “just” raising children, but of shaping future generations—future world-changers who will carry on God’s love and truth. Every sacrifice she made, every sleepless night, every tear shed in prayer for her children—it all matters.

I am reminded of 1 Timothy 2:15, where Paul says, “But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.” This verse isn’t about earning salvation through childbirth, but rather, it speaks to the sanctifying process of motherhood. It refines women, molding them into more patient, selfless, and faithful beings. My mom’s love for God and us has shaped who I am today, and I know that her journey of motherhood has been one of growth, faith, and reliance on God.

There’s a deep joy in motherhood, even amid the chaos. As a daughter, I see the joy my mother finds in us—even when life is messy. Nehemiah 8:10 says, “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” And I see my mom finding joy in the Lord, even in the mundane moments of motherhood. Yes, there are piles of laundry, long nights, and tough seasons, but there are also moments of pure joy—the sound of a child’s first words, the simple joy of watching them grow and learn, and the fulfillment that comes from guiding them through life’s challenges. I know my mother found joy not just in my successes, but in the very act of raising me.

I’ve also realized that while motherhood can be painful and sacrificial, it is never without purpose. God designed motherhood as a partnership with Him in bringing life into the world. As I look to the future, I believe that even when the challenges of raising children seem daunting, God has a bigger picture in mind. Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” As mothers, we may not always see the fruit of our labor immediately, but we can trust that God is at work in the lives of our children, even when we can’t see it.

It’s clear to me now that motherhood is a calling that goes beyond a simple role—it is a sacred vocation that shapes the future. I may not yet be a mother, but I can see that the role is one of immense responsibility and profound purpose. Motherhood is a partnership with God to shape the next generation. Each mother is raising not just children, but image-bearers of God, future leaders, and world-changers.

As I reflect on my mom and all the ways she’s shaped my life, I’m reminded of Proverbs 22:6, which says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” This verse isn’t just for mothers, but for all who have influence over the next generation. The way my mom has modeled love, faith, and strength in Christ will have a ripple effect for generations to come.

So, to my beautiful mom, and to all mothers out there, I want to say thank you. Thank you for your sacrifices, your love, your patience, and for answering God’s call to raise His children. Your work matters. It’s not “just” raising children—it’s shaping the future for God’s glory.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of motherhood and for the example of love and strength that my mother has shown me. I pray that You continue to bless all mothers, giving them the wisdom, strength, and grace they need to raise their children in Your ways. Help me to honor them and to remember the profound impact they have on shaping the future. May we all recognize the sacred calling of motherhood and trust in Your plan for our lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Why Marriage and Motherhood Should Come First

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Maybe I’m not married yet. Maybe I’m not even sure what my future holds. But I know one thing: the desire to build a family and raise children in the love of Christ is something that won’t fade. I believe it’s a calling that will be worth the wait.

Let me start from the beginning……

Today has been one of those reflective days where I can’t seem to stop thinking about everything that lies ahead. I’ve just recently graduated from college, and after years of working toward this moment, I’m left with a strange mix of excitement and uncertainty. My friends and I are all stepping into different paths, some going into careers they’ve been dreaming about for years, others planning further studies, and some, like me, still figuring it out.

But here’s the thing I can’t shake: what if the life I’m supposed to build isn’t what the world says it should be?

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been told that success equals a career. I’ve been told that if I’m not climbing the ladder of success, then I’m missing out. The college professors, the guest speakers, even some of my friends — they all spoke of ambition, of dreams, of doing what we’re “meant to do” in the workplace. It was all about chasing those promotions, earning those accolades, and proving our worth through titles.

But deep down, I’ve always felt something different stirring inside me. I’ve often wondered, Isn’t there more to life than this?

I want to be clear here: I’m not opposed to women working, having careers, or pursuing their passions. I think that’s beautiful. But I also wonder — and maybe it’s a bit of a radical thought in today’s world — what if the most important, fulfilling, and impactful choice I could make as a woman is choosing marriage and children over a career?

I’m not married yet. I’m not even dating anyone seriously. But I think about marriage often. I think about what kind of wife I would be, and what kind of mother I might become. I see the way my friends’ parents’ marriages reflect Christ’s love for the church, and I can’t help but wonder: Wouldn’t I want that too? To build a family that honors God, to raise children who know His love and His Word — isn’t that the highest calling for a woman? More than climbing the corporate ladder or seeking fame?

I think of Proverbs 31, which my mom would always read to me as a child. That woman, she’s not only skilled in business but is also a mother and a wife who creates a home that is a sanctuary of love and wisdom. I always thought that was the ideal — a woman who embraces her role in the family with grace and strength, finding fulfillment not in worldly success but in the legacy she leaves behind.

Proverbs 31:27-28 says:

“She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”

I read those verses and wonder, Is this what I want my life to look like? To be honored not because I became a CEO, but because I became a mother who poured into the hearts and souls of my children?

I can’t help but think about my own childhood. My mom stayed at home with us. She made our house a haven of peace, where faith was not just taught but lived out every day. She wasn’t perfect, but her dedication to our family left a mark on me that no career could ever compare to. Her job was hard — raising children is hard — but I saw her joy, her purpose. And I remember how safe I felt with her. Her presence was a gift that I can’t quite put into words.

I want that too. To be present. To be the one who is there for every scraped knee, every meltdown, every joy, and every tear. I want to be the one to mold my children’s hearts, to shape them into the kind of people who will love Jesus with all their hearts. I want to be the one to teach them how to pray, how to love others, how to serve the world with grace.

It’s not that I’m against having a career. I’ve worked hard, and I do have dreams and ambitions. But something has been stirring in my heart: What if my most important contribution to the world isn’t in a boardroom but in the walls of my own home? What if the highest calling for me as a woman is to raise children who will change the world for Christ?

Titus 2:4-5 says:

“Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”

I think of this scripture, and I feel a deep conviction. There’s a kind of beauty in the quiet work of home-making and motherhood — in creating a space where your children can thrive, learn, and grow. The world may not see it, but God does. And isn’t that what matters most?

I don’t have all the answers, but I do know this: Raising children is a holy calling. And as much as the world tells me I need to chase after my career, I can’t help but feel that perhaps the greatest contribution I can make is choosing to build a family — to invest in the next generation of believers who will carry the torch of the faith long after I’m gone.

So tonight, as I close this blog post, I pray:


“Lord, thank You for the gifts You’ve given me — my health, my education, my opportunities. Help me to hear Your calling, even if it’s different from what the world expects. Give me wisdom in the decisions I make. If it’s Your will, guide me to a husband who will walk beside me in faith. And when the time comes, give me the grace to be the kind of mother You have called me to be. Amen.”

Sorry feminism, I DESIRE a TRAD WIFE LIFE

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Today, I felt the longing more than ever….

It hit me again while folding laundry — that quiet ache in my chest, that soft whisper in my soul: I want to be a TRAD wife. I want to pour my heart into my home, serve my family, and build something holy within these walls. I know the term raises eyebrows these days — “trad wife,” short for “traditional wife.” People think it means submitting blindly or surrendering autonomy. But to me, it’s not about chains. It’s about freedom — the freedom to choose a life of devotion, love, and service.

I want to be a woman who honors God by honoring her home. A wife who supports her husband with gentleness and strength. A mother who nurtures her children with tenderness and discipline. A homemaker who sees the daily, ordinary things — like baking bread or wiping down counters — as sacred work.

There’s something holy about order and peace. And even though the world screams for independence, ambition, and hustle, I keep feeling pulled toward stillness, toward simplicity, toward the quiet beauty of a well-tended life.

I think of Proverbs 31 — the woman who “looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” (Proverbs 31:27). She is not weak. She is wise and industrious, rising early, managing her home, providing for her family. She is trusted by her husband, honored by her children, and praised at the gates. She is clothed in strength and dignity.

That’s the kind of wife I want to be.

I know it’s not fashionable to say this out loud. Feminism taught us to seek power and prestige in the workplace, and I’m not knocking that. Some women are called to that space — and I believe God works there too. But for me, I feel this strong, aching call to come home. To build a life centered around family, not career. To serve rather than compete. To cherish rather than conquer.

And no, I don’t want to lose my voice or identity. I want to offer them, freely, to the people I love most.

Sometimes I question myself. I worry I’m being naive. That I’ll regret not climbing ladders or chasing titles. But then I remember: titles don’t tuck you in at night. Promotions don’t hold your hand when you’re sick. Prestige won’t pray over your children. Love does that.

I think about Sarah in Genesis — how she called Abraham “lord,” not because she saw herself as less than him, but because she respected and honored the role he played. 1 Peter 3:5-6 says, “For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands… and you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.”

That part — do not fear anything that is frightening — really speaks to me. Because this path I’m choosing? It’s scary. It’s countercultural. And sometimes it feels lonely.

But God keeps reminding me: I see you. I designed this desire. It is not foolish. It is faithful.

My heart burns for a quiet, holy home — filled with laughter, prayer, warm meals, and peaceful routines. I want my life to be an offering. I want my marriage to be a testimony. I want to model for my children what love looks like in action, not just in words.

And so, I surrender this dream to the Lord again tonight — not in weakness, but in faith.

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the stirrings of my heart, for the dreams You’ve planted deep within me. I trust that You’ve made me this way for a reason — with a longing to serve, to build, to nurture, to love.

Lord, the world says I need to be powerful, loud, and self-sufficient. But You say I am already precious in Your sight. You say that humility is strength, that service is greatness, that love never fails.

Help me not to fear the judgment of others or the rejection of culture. Help me to walk boldly in the calling You’ve placed on my life — to be a wife who honors her husband, a mother who shepherds her children, and a woman who builds her home with wisdom and grace.

Let my hands do the work of peace. Let my words be soft and strong. Let my heart be anchored in You, so that I am not swayed by the world’s noise.

Teach me, Lord, to be like the Proverbs 31 woman — diligent, kind, joyful, and brave.

Make my home a sanctuary. Make my marriage a reflection of Your love. Make me a TRAD-wife not in name only, but in spirit, in truth, and in love.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Sometimes I think being a traditional wife is…

Sometimes I think being a traditional wife is less about roles and more about rhythm. It’s about dancing to the quiet beat of God’s design, even when the world plays a different tune. It’s not passive — it’s active surrender. It’s not blind — it’s deeply intentional. It’s not about being behind a man — it’s about walking with him, rooted in the roles God gave us both.

And I know I’m not alone. More and more, I see women waking up to the beauty of tradition — not out of obligation, but out of desire. We want to reclaim the value of the home. We want to raise children in truth. We want to support our husbands with love, not competition. And we want to be women who radiate peace in a world that is burning with restlessness.

That’s who I want to be.

A TRAD wife. A woman after God’s heart. A keeper of the home. A bringer of peace. A builder of legacy.

So I’ll keep praying, keep preparing, and keep walking toward the life God is shaping for me. Step by step. Day by day.

And if I ever forget who I am or why I’m choosing this path, I’ll return to His Word — my compass, my comfort, my clarity.

“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” (Proverbs 31:26)

Let it be true of me, Lord.

Blessed Beyond Measure: A Christian Tribute and 20 Prayers for Mothers on Mother’s Day

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

I know that Mother’s Day is still a few weeks away, but I didn’t want to wait to express my gratitude for my mother, and all mothers that love their children!

Motherhood is one of the most beautiful and sacred callings God has ever designed. From the beginning of creation, mothers have held a unique and powerful role in shaping lives, nurturing spirits, and building families. The Bible is full of examples that highlight the influence and strength of godly mothers—Hannah, Mary, Lois, and countless others who raised children in the fear and wisdom of the Lord.

A Christian mother’s love reflects the love of Christ—sacrificial, unconditional, and ever faithful. Whether it’s the sleepless nights, whispered prayers, comforting hugs, or quiet moments of intercession—mothers are often the unseen warriors behind their families’ faith.

A Final Word: The Heart of a Godly Mother

A godly mother is not defined by perfection, but by pursuit. She chases after God, even when she’s tired. She fights battles in prayer that no one sees. She lays down her life daily—for her family, for her children, and for the calling You’ve placed on her heart.

Mothers: You are seen. You are valued. You are loved. You are walking in a sacred calling. You may not always get thanked the way you deserve, but Heaven sees every sacrifice. And your reward is eternal.

This Mother’s Day, let us not just give flowers or cards. Let us lift up the mothers in our lives in prayer, cover them in encouragement, and remind them that their role is one of divine purpose.

Because behind every strong believer, every kind heart, every story of faith—there is often a mother who prayed them there.

Happy Mother’s Day.

A Heartfelt Mother’s Day Prayer to Bless Your Mom with God’s Love on Sunday May 11, 2025!

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Mother’s Day is still a couple weeks away, but I love my mom so much, and felt inspired to write something so to my mom, and every other mom out there, Happy Mother’s Day, and may God bless every woman who has ever loved, led, or lifted another in the spirit of a mother’s heart.

Mother’s Day is more than just a time for flowers, cards, and family brunch. For Christians, it’s a sacred moment—a divine opportunity to honor the woman who first taught us about love, sacrifice, and often, God Himself. A mother is not only the nurturer of our physical lives but often the first spiritual guide we know. She is the hands and feet of Jesus in our homes, wiping tears, praying through nights, and believing for her children even when they can’t believe for themselves.

This Mother’s Day, let us do more than celebrate with gifts—let us offer what may be the most precious gift of all: a heartfelt prayer. A prayer that blesses, honors, strengthens, and uplifts the incredible women God placed in our lives. Whether your mom is with you in person, far away, or already with the Lord, this prayer can be your offering of gratitude and praise to God for her life and legacy.

But before we share that prayer, let’s reflect deeply on why prayer is such a beautiful and necessary way to honor our mothers.

1. Honoring Mothers the Way God Intended

God’s Word is filled with commands to honor our parents. It’s one of the Ten Commandments:
“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” —Exodus 20:12

Honoring your mother is not just about physical gestures—it’s about spiritual recognition. It’s about seeing the anointing God has placed on her life and acknowledging the divine role she plays. By lifting her up in prayer, you’re stepping into your role as a spiritual son or daughter. You’re covering her in love and inviting the presence of God into her journey.

Whether your mom is a woman of great faith or still discovering what faith means, your prayer can speak life over her soul.

2. A Mother’s Love Reflects the Heart of God

So many of the traits we associate with motherhood—patience, protection, nurturing, sacrificial love—are reflections of God’s own character. Isaiah 66:13 says,
“As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you…”

Isn’t that powerful? God likens His own comfort to that of a mother. When we pray for our mothers, we are celebrating that godly love that shaped us in our most vulnerable years. And when we share that prayer with her, it reaffirms what God has been doing through her life all along.

3. Prayer Speaks What Words Cannot

Sometimes, saying “Thank you” or “I love you” doesn’t feel like enough. Especially when you think about everything your mother has done—her long nights, silent tears, whispered prayers, unspoken sacrifices. A heartfelt prayer has the power to say what our words often can’t. It lifts up her soul to the Father and asks Him to pour back into her all the strength, peace, and joy she has so freely given.

4. A Spiritual Blessing for the Generations

One of the most beautiful things about praying over your mother is that it doesn’t stop with her—it flows through her and blesses generations to come. In the Bible, blessings spoken aloud were powerful spiritual inheritances. Isaac blessed Jacob. Jesus blessed children. The early apostles blessed the churches. When you speak a prayer of blessing over your mom, you are stepping into that same powerful tradition.

You’re saying: “Lord, bless this woman who blessed me. Let the legacy of her faith continue through me and beyond.”

5. A Heartfelt Mother’s Day Prayer

Whether you’re speaking it aloud, writing it in a card, or sharing it during Sunday brunch, here’s a prayer you can personalize and share with your mom this Mother’s Day:

💐 A Mother’s Day Prayer to Share with Mom

Heavenly Father,

Today, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You for the precious gift of my mother—Your servant, Your daughter, Your vessel of love in my life. She has shown me glimpses of Your grace, carried me through valleys, and lifted me up in ways that only a mother could.

Lord, I ask that You pour out Your richest blessings upon her today. Renew her strength like the eagle’s. Refresh her spirit like living water. Surround her with peace that passes all understanding, joy that is unshakable, and love that is everlasting.

Thank You for every sacrifice she made in silence, every prayer she whispered in faith, every tear she shed on my behalf. May those tears be counted as seeds—seeds of blessing, joy, and harvest in her life.

Heal any wounds that remain—physical, emotional, or spiritual. Lift every burden she carries. Let her know, deeply and undeniably, how loved she is—not just by her family, but by You, her Creator and Redeemer.

Father, if she ever wonders if she’s done enough, remind her that she is more than enough in Your eyes. Remind her that her value is not in her to-do list, but in her identity as Your beloved daughter.

Give her rest where she’s tired, hope where she’s uncertain, and vision for the seasons still ahead. Let her legacy be one of faith, joy, and deep wisdom. May her children and grandchildren rise up and call her blessed.

Lord, for the mother who is grieving, comfort her. For the mother who feels forgotten, remind her she is seen. For the mother battling illness, bring healing and peace. For the mother waiting on a prodigal, strengthen her hope.

And Father, if my mother is no longer here with me, I thank You for the years we had, and I entrust her memory to Your eternal care. Comfort my heart and help me live in a way that honors her legacy.

This Mother’s Day, I lift her up to You. Wrap her in Your arms. Whisper to her heart. And remind her that she is deeply loved—by me, and infinitely more by You.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

6. Sharing the Prayer: Ideas for a Meaningful Sunday

Looking for heartfelt ways to share this prayer? Here are a few:

  • Read it aloud at a family meal before eating.
  • Write it in a Mother’s Day card—handwritten prayers are treasures.
  • Record a voice message or video of you praying it out loud and send it to her.
  • Share it during your church’s Mother’s Day tribute.
  • Include it in a social media post as a public honor to your mom.

These little moments often become lifelong memories.

7. What If My Relationship with My Mom Is Complicated?

Mother’s Day can stir up pain for many people—especially if the relationship with your mother has been distant, strained, or even toxic. If that’s your story, know this: your prayer doesn’t have to deny the truth. You can pray for healing, reconciliation, or simply release. You can ask God to bless her and, at the same time, ask Him to heal the places where she may have failed you.

Romans 12:18 encourages us, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Prayer is a powerful step toward peace, even when the past is hard to navigate.

8. When Mom Is No Longer With Us

If your mom has passed away, Mother’s Day can feel like a day of quiet ache. But your prayer can still be powerful. You can pray in thanksgiving for her life, ask God for continued healing, and reflect on the spiritual legacy she left behind.

Light a candle. Look through old photos. Say a prayer of remembrance. God is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and your love for your mom still matters deeply to Him.

9. A Reminder for Moms Reading This

If you’re a mom yourself reading this post, let these words speak over you. You are seen. You are appreciated. You are not alone. Every diaper changed, every prayer whispered, every exhausted night—it all matters. It is eternally significant.

Galatians 6:9 reminds us,
“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

God sees you. Your children may not always understand now, but one day, they’ll look back and thank you. And God will reward every hidden act of love.

10. Closing Thoughts: More Than a Holiday

Mother’s Day is more than a date on the calendar—it’s an invitation. An invitation to reflect on God’s faithfulness through the mothers He gave us, and an opportunity to return that love through prayer.

So whether your mom is in your life, watching from heaven, or someone you’re still learning to love again, may your words this Sunday be full of grace, healing, and spiritual blessing.

Because no matter how old we are, we never outgrow our need for a mother’s love—and our mothers never outgrow their need for prayer.

What The Last Supper Teaches Us About Eating Right

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

When you hear the words “The Last Supper,” what comes to mind?

A gathering of Jesus and His disciples, sharing a meal and fellowship.

A somber, poignant moment filled with love, lessons, and impending sacrifice.

Yet, amidst these deeply spiritual insights, there is a lesson that often goes unnoticed.

The Last Supper, that legendary event captured in scriptures and countless works of art, has something to teach us about eating right.

Let us remember it again.

Jesus and his disciples gathered around a table, eating a meal together.

They ate bread and drank wine, taking the time to enjoy their food and their fellowship.

This alone carries within it a blueprint for healthy eating that many of us overlook in our overly convenient food culture.

First, gathering and eating as a community.

Communal eating can improve our relationship with food and encourage healthier eating habits.

And yet, less than half of Americans eat with their families on the regular.

We should remember Jesus and His students, and eat with our loved ones as often as we can.

Next, we have to consider the concept of mindful eating.

At the Last Supper, Jesus gave thanks for the bread and wine before passing it to His disciples.

This display of gratitude and reflection can teach us to appreciate our food, be mindful of what we are consuming, and eat more slowly.

Lastly, the simplicity of the meal itself.

The Last Supper was not a feast of overly processed, unhealthy foods.

It was simple, wholesome, and nourishing. Qualities we should strive for in our meals.

The more we talk about the Last Supper, the more we find out about how we should eat.

As we navigate through our journeys, let us remember and apply its lessons to our daily experiences. Let’s strive to eat together, mindfully, and healthily.

And let’s always remember to appreciate God for the food He provides and for the sacrifice that Jesus made for us.

This Will Change Everything You Know About Fat Loss

If you’ve ever attempted to drop some bodyfat…

Then you might have tried what every “expert” out there recommends.

You know, the intense workouts and diets that you can’t possibly stick to for too long, and you end up gaining instead of losing weight.

Losing weight like this is almost impossible if you haven’t done it before.

That’s why most people who are overweight stay overweight.

However, what if I told you that the key to losing fat is not exercising yourself to death – or following extreme diets.

But breathing more.

That’s right, my friends.

A professor of Kinesiology at California State University in Fullerton just revealed that breathing is essential for fat loss.

And yet, you will not hear about this from anyone who is trying to sell you a fat loss or an exercise program.

If more people knew how simple losing fat actually is, then obesity would not be a concern in the US anymore.

You see, fat is made out of long carbon chains.

When we inhale, oxygen enters our system and becomes attached to some of that carbon.

And when we exhale, we breathe out carbon dioxide (CO2).

That’s how fat leaves our system.

This means that anything that makes you breathe harder makes you slim down.

Isn’t that incredibly simple?

And the most effective way to do that constantly over the years, no matter how you feel or how much time you have is by taking regular walks.

Walking doesn’t put any stress on your system.

You don’t experience a drop in energy afterwards, like you do with intense workouts.

(If anything, it makes you feel more energized).

And the most important thing, you are able to stick with it in the long run.

Our Lord has given everyone the ability to remain healthy and take care of their physical vessels.

And simply by taking brisk walks, we can chip away bodyfat without even realizing it.

If you prefer running, that’s fine too.

As long as you are able to keep at it for a long period of time.

So don’t listen to people who say you need to do any intense workouts or starve yourself to death.

Just eat in moderation and do something that makes you breathe slightly harder.

Why Simply Going To Church Is Usually Not Enough

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

We live in a world that often encourages compartmentalization. We set different times for each purpose.

Work time,

Family time,

Leisure time,

And yes, God time.

But our relationship with God wasn’t ever meant to be relegated to a small box, taken out on Sunday mornings or during Scripture study sessions.

God is yearning for an ongoing conversation with us, a relationship that flourishes not just in dedicated moments, but in the everyday nooks and crannies of our experiences.

This ongoing connection is your secret key to keeping your faith vibrant, even in a constantly busy world.

But how do you do that? This is a concern that a lot of good people have nowadays.


When everything requires your attention, how do you keep reminding yourself to talk to God?

Well, this is why I recommend people take “prayer pauses” throughout their day.

These are short moments where you pause, draw your awareness to God, and invite Him into your current activity.

A prayer pause can be as simple as expressing gratitude for your meal, asking for guidance before an important meeting, or sending up a prayer for a buddy during your commute.

These tiny moments of connection can have a profound impact on your relationship with God.

Similarly, make a habit of meditating on small snippets of scripture throughout the day. 

You could write a verse on a post-it and stick it to your computer.

Or set a daily verse as your smartphone wallpaper. 

Whenever you see it, take a moment to ponder its meaning and apply it to your current circumstances.

Dear friends, fostering a daily connection with God is like nurturing a garden.

It’s not the occasional downpours. But the steady, daily watering that brings vitality and growth.

And just as a garden blossoms with consistent care, so too will your faith bloom with daily connection.

Why don’t you try a prayer pause?

“Christians Are Against Science”

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

I’ve heard a lot of people say that Christians are against science.

And that we can’t believe in science if we also believe in God.

However, this is nothing but a misunderstanding.

Science is also one of God’s creations.

It is the study of the natural world and the laws that govern it. 

And it is simply a tool that helps us understand how the world works. 

Faith, on the other hand, is the belief in God and His plan for our lives.

And what most people don’t realize is that faith and science can coexist.

The Bible tells us that “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1) and science helps us understand how and when that happened. 

For example, the evolution theory helps us understand species’ development on earth.

While the Bible tells us that God is the creator of everything.

Both faith and science can be used to understand the beauty and complexity of God’s creations.

Another critical aspect of the relationship between faith and science is in the area of ethics.

Science helps us understand the natural world and the consequences of our actions.

But it is our faith that guides us in making moral decisions based on the teachings of God. 

The Bible tells us “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:40).

People should continue to evolve according to God’s Will and help one another.

Science is simply a tool for that.

And we are not against it like most atheists think.

To make a long story short, science helps us understand how things work.

While faith helps us understand why they exist in the first place.

Together, they can give us a deeper understanding of the world and our place in it.

So let us continue to explore the world around us, with the guidance of our faith and the understanding provided by science.

Together, we can work to fulfill the purpose that God has for our lives and make a positive impact on the world.
