Hailey shall not perish but have eternal life.
00:23:58.309 --> 00:23:58.676
Have eternal life. >> hailey accepted christ into
00:23:58.809 --> 00:24:01.946
>> hailey accepted christ into her life that day and began to
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:02.713
Her life that day and began to grow in her faith.
00:24:02.847 --> 00:24:03.247
Grow in her faith. however, she would continue to
00:24:05.616 --> 00:24:06.317
However, she would continue to obsess over her body image for
00:24:06.450 --> 00:24:07.151
Obsess over her body image for another years.
00:24:07.284 --> 00:24:09.787
Another years. then at 24 years old she
00:24:09.954 --> 00:24:20.698
Then at 24 years old she completely surrendered it to
00:24:20.831 --> 00:24:21.398
Completely surrendered it to jesus lord like i don't want
00:24:21.532 --> 00:24:22.133
Jesus lord like i don't want anything to do with this
00:24:22.266 --> 00:24:22.800
Anything to do with this anymore.
00:24:22.933 --> 00:24:23.134

Me what it looks like to eat in a that is glorifying to you
00:24:25.503 --> 00:24:26.737
A that is glorifying to you finally surrendering the food
00:24:26.871 --> 00:24:27.471
Finally surrendering the food controlling food and exercise
00:24:27.605 --> 00:24:32.042
Controlling food and exercise and really just letting god
00:24:32.176 --> 00:24:32.743
And really just letting god walk me through this healing
00:24:32.877 --> 00:24:33.444
Walk me through this healing journey.
00:24:33.577 --> 00:24:33.778
Journey. the lord led me to really cling
00:24:34.678 --> 00:24:35.613
The lord led me to really cling to truth instead of what i
00:24:35.746 --> 00:24:39.083
To truth instead of what i thought was my identity and
00:24:39.216 --> 00:24:39.784
Thought was my identity and what made me worthy.
00:24:39.917 --> 00:24:40.351
What made me worthy. >> now a nutrition coach,
00:24:40.484 --> 00:24:43.254
>> now a nutrition coach, personal trainer and public
00:24:43.387 --> 00:24:43.921
Personal trainer and public speaker hailey's still likes to
00:24:44.054 --> 00:24:47.124
Speaker hailey's still likes to stay fit but she says she now
00:24:47.258 --> 00:24:47.992
Stay fit but she says she now sees herself through god's
00:24:48.125 --> 00:24:52.062
Sees herself through god's eyes.
00:24:52.196 --> 00:24:52.363
Eyes. >> the lord really helped me
00:24:52.496 --> 00:24:53.097
>> the lord really helped me renew my mind with seeing who
00:24:53.230 --> 00:24:55.399
Renew my mind with seeing who he says i am instead of what
00:24:55.533 --> 00:24:56.233
He says i am instead of what this world or what i thought
00:24:56.367 --> 00:24:59.436
This world or what i thought made me worthy and just seeing
00:24:59.570 --> 00:25:00.204
Made me worthy and just seeing the truth of my identity.
00:25:00.337 --> 00:25:00.905
The truth of my identity. >> christ.
00:25:01.038 --> 00:25:04.975
>> christ. >> what an honest and
00:25:05.109 --> 00:25:05.709
>> what an honest and vulnerable story isn't it.
00:25:05.843 --> 00:25:09.180
Vulnerable story isn't it. you know, two things just
00:25:09.313 --> 00:25:09.847
You know, two things just struck me immediately after
00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:12.883
Struck me immediately after seeing and hearing what hailey
00:25:13.017 --> 00:25:13.617
Seeing and hearing what hailey had to say and one was how easy
00:25:13.751 --> 00:25:17.188
Had to say and one was how easy it is for us to say we're
00:25:17.321 --> 00:25:18.155
It is for us to say we're christian without living the
00:25:18.289 --> 00:25:21.192
Christian without living the life that god intended us to
00:25:21.325 --> 00:25:24.061
Life that god intended us to live to have to be.
00:25:24.195 --> 00:25:24.628
Live to have to be. >> you know, it's not doing
00:25:24.762 --> 00:25:28.098
>> you know, it's not doing things it's not even about
00:25:28.232 --> 00:25:28.766
Things it's not even about going to church.
00:25:28.899 --> 00:25:32.102
Going to church. you know, it's really it's
00:25:32.236 --> 00:25:32.803
You know, it's really it's about relationship.
00:25:32.937 --> 00:25:33.337
About relationship. and if you don't know jesus
00:25:33.470 --> 00:25:36.540
And if you don't know jesus what does she mean when she
00:25:36.674 --> 00:25:37.241
What does she mean when she says that she means you know
00:25:37.374 --> 00:25:39.343
Says that she means you know the word christian has the name
00:25:39.476 --> 00:25:40.110
The word christian has the name christ in it but if you're not
00:25:40.244 --> 00:25:42.880
Christ in it but if you're not relationship with him, if
00:25:43.013 --> 00:25:43.547
Relationship with him, if you're not talking with him,
00:25:43.681 --> 00:25:44.248
You're not talking with him, aware of his presence every
00:25:44.381 --> 00:25:48.118
Aware of his presence every day, if you're not
00:25:48.252 --> 00:25:48.652
Day, if you're not understanding the price he paid
00:25:48.786 --> 00:25:49.420
Understanding the price he paid for you because of his great
00:25:49.553 --> 00:25:51.455
For you because of his great love for you, you're not a
00:25:51.589 --> 00:25:52.289
Love for you, you're not a christian.
00:25:52.423 --> 00:25:55.059
Christian. you know we need to understand
00:25:55.192 --> 00:25:55.893
You know we need to understand that a christian, a disciple, a
00:25:56.026 --> 00:25:58.562
That a christian, a disciple, a follower of jesus we're
00:25:58.696 --> 00:25:59.163
Follower of jesus we're following after to receive the
00:25:59.296 --> 00:26:02.566
Following after to receive the forgiveness he's offered us and
00:26:02.700 --> 00:26:03.334
Forgiveness he's offered us and to let him change lives and to
00:26:03.467 --> 00:26:06.303
To let him change lives and to let him give us exactly what
00:26:06.437 --> 00:26:07.037
Let him give us exactly what she was for.
00:26:07.171 --> 00:26:10.307
She was for. >> so my purpose why am i here?
00:26:10.441 --> 00:26:11.275
>> so my purpose why am i here? you know we all have that
00:26:11.408 --> 00:26:14.445
You know we all have that question at some point in our
00:26:14.578 --> 00:26:15.212
Question at some point in our lives i the other thing i see
00:26:15.346 --> 00:26:17.681
Lives i the other thing i see in hailey's life how easy it is
00:26:17.815 --> 00:26:21.452
In hailey's life how easy it is for us even when we are after
00:26:21.585 --> 00:26:25.256
For us even when we are after jesus to get caught up in
00:26:25.389 --> 00:26:25.956
Jesus to get caught up in something that can become an
00:26:26.090 --> 00:26:29.260
Something that can become an idol in our lives.
00:26:29.393 --> 00:26:29.793
Idol in our lives. you know that's what happened
00:26:29.927 --> 00:26:32.062
You know that's what happened to her with food, with
00:26:32.196 --> 00:26:32.696
To her with food, with calories, with her working out
00:26:32.830 --> 00:26:35.966
Calories, with her working out the idol became perfection.
00:26:36.100 --> 00:26:36.667
The idol became perfection. the idol became having a body
00:26:36.800 --> 00:26:40.371
The idol became having a body that was admired by others so
00:26:40.504 --> 00:26:41.105
That was admired by others so she would be acceptable.
00:26:41.238 --> 00:26:43.374
She would be acceptable. >> you know we don't have to do
00:26:43.507 --> 00:26:47.077
>> you know we don't have to do things or approve things to
00:26:47.211 --> 00:26:47.778
Things or approve things to acquire friendship or
00:26:47.912 --> 00:26:50.948
Acquire friendship or relationship with other people
00:26:51.081 --> 00:26:51.682
Relationship with other people either.
00:26:51.815 --> 00:26:52.016
Either. you know that because we care
00:26:52.149 --> 00:26:55.386
You know that because we care because we open our hearts
00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:56.120
Because we open our hearts because we share just the same
00:26:56.253 --> 00:26:58.789
Because we share just the same way that we have a relationship
00:26:58.923 --> 00:26:59.657
Way that we have a relationship with christ.
00:26:59.790 --> 00:27:02.459
With christ. i don't know whether there's an
00:27:02.593 --> 00:27:03.227
I don't know whether there's an idol in your life or not.
00:27:03.360 --> 00:27:06.497
Idol in your life or not. you know it can be many things.
00:27:06.630 --> 00:27:07.364
You know it can be many things. i have a friend who is young
00:27:07.498 --> 00:27:10.200
I have a friend who is young person who has an idol with
00:27:10.334 --> 00:27:10.968
Person who has an idol with being successful with how much
00:27:11.101 --> 00:27:14.505
Being successful with how much money he makes a year with, how
00:27:14.638 --> 00:27:18.309
Money he makes a year with, how many jobs he has, how people
00:27:18.442 --> 00:27:19.043
Many jobs he has, how people perceive him.
00:27:19.176 --> 00:27:21.679
Perceive him. you know you're kept bound up
00:27:21.812 --> 00:27:22.446
You know you're kept bound up in that and pretty soon it
00:27:22.579 --> 00:27:23.280
In that and pretty soon it defines who you are and you're
00:27:23.414 --> 00:27:27.017
Defines who you are and you're not who god created you to be
00:27:27.151 --> 00:27:27.952
Not who god created you to be anymore.
00:27:28.085 --> 00:27:30.587
Anymore. there's no freedom in it.
00:27:30.721 --> 00:27:31.255
There's no freedom in it. you're actually stuck in it.
00:27:31.388 --> 00:27:31.956
You're actually stuck in it. that's what happened to,
00:27:32.089 --> 00:27:33.424
That's what happened to, hailey.
00:27:33.557 --> 00:27:33.757
Hailey. she got stuck on the definition
00:27:33.891 --> 00:27:34.525
She got stuck on the definition of her own success idols can be
00:27:34.658 --> 00:27:37.695
Of her own success idols can be many, many things but the bible
00:27:37.828 --> 00:27:41.665
Many, many things but the bible says that god will not have an
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:42.433
Says that god will not have an idol in place of him.
00:27:42.566 --> 00:27:45.602
Idol in place of him. he's jealous for your love in a
00:27:45.736 --> 00:27:46.670
He's jealous for your love in a good.
00:27:46.804 --> 00:27:49.306
Good. he wants all of you.
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:50.040
He wants all of you. all of me because he wants to
00:27:50.174 --> 00:27:52.710
All of me because he wants to be all to us.
00:27:52.843 --> 00:27:53.243
Be all to us. if you've never invited jesus
00:27:56.046 --> 00:27:56.847
If you've never invited jesus christ into the core of your
00:27:56.981 --> 00:27:59.383
Christ into the core of your the core of your life saying
00:27:59.516 --> 00:28:00.150
The core of your life saying what it took it took her three
00:28:00.284 --> 00:28:03.821
What it took it took her three years to really get to the
00:28:03.954 --> 00:28:04.521
Years to really get to the place even after truth of
00:28:04.655 --> 00:28:07.624
Place even after truth of saying okay, god, i'm waving
00:28:07.758 --> 00:28:08.325
Saying okay, god, i'm waving the white flag i surrender.
00:28:08.459 --> 00:28:11.628
The white flag i surrender. i'm giving it all to you.
00:28:11.762 --> 00:28:12.329
I'm giving it all to you. that's not an easy thing to do
00:28:12.463 --> 00:28:14.999
That's not an easy thing to do because you can't see the
00:28:15.132 --> 00:28:15.733
Because you can't see the future.
00:28:15.866 --> 00:28:18.369
Future. god reveals his plans one day
00:28:18.502 --> 00:28:21.505
God reveals his plans one day at a time, one purpose at a
00:28:21.638 --> 00:28:22.172
At a time, one purpose at a time.
00:28:22.306 --> 00:28:22.473
Time. but when you walk with him it's

Peace that passes all under standing.
00:28:33.317 --> 00:28:33.584
Standing. if you've never experienced

The captives free some time as lord we are captive to things
00:29:00.844 --> 00:29:01.445

Of our own making our own doing, our own determination.
