Women of Substance with Dr. Scarlett Horton⁣ Episode 36 - Dr. Scarlett Horton interviews Melissa Hafliger __________⁣ Melissa's walk with God started when her children were born and she was overwhelmed with the desire to raise them in a Christian household. She and her husband wanted their growing family to be grounded in their Christian beliefs and knew we needed more. They joined a local church and began growing in their faith. Melissa worked as a teacher for 22 years. As a teacher, she was asked to sponsor the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at her school. The FCA began meeting in her classroom, and she felt the closeness of God more everyday. She began a Morning Prayer for teachers, and offered her classroom to teachers every morning for prayer. Melissa's hunger for the Word and presence of God led her to Revelation Wellness, a ministry dedicated to educating and inspiring people to live healthy and whole lives in Christ. Melissa fell in love with their ministry. Melissa had personally lost over 70 lbs in 1998 and have kept it off ever since, so living healthy has been a priority in her heart. Melissa has been in the weight loss industry for over 20 years, and has coached many people to success. In October of 2017, she became an Independent Optavia Health Coach, and in November of 2020, she became a Certified Revelation Wellness Instructor. Melissa works one-on-one with clients, cheering them on and keeping them on track toward their goals. “A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body...” (Proverbs 14:30a). Melissa also hosts her own podcast entitled, “My Faith Fitness with Melissa,” and is launching a new faith-based exercise program. Her passion is to cheer others on to find freedom in a healthy body and a healthy mind. In this episode, Scarlett and Melissa talk about the importance healing the roots of fear and shame, and the empowerment that comes from making positive, health choices. Your faith will be encouraged as you watch. __________ https://MelissaHafliger.com https://ScarlettHorton.com __________
