19 Fall In Love With Feeling Good: Rethinking Fitness

20 You're Worth It and So is Everyone Else

What do the rich and poor have in common? All of us are asking the question, do I matter? Self care answers this question with a resounding YES! Jaci Anderson dives into this. She shares about how running a half marathon for clean water in Africa connected her to herself and those she ran for. We're left with the invitation to allow self love to move us out of our comfort zone to love others more. 

Jaci Anderson is a bi-racial woman leading in the intersection of faith and justice.  She is a daughter, wife, mother, neighbor and pastor who enjoys seeing people liberated from oppressive patterns of living and thinking and into wholehearted relationships with God, self, others, and creation. She also runs 1/2 marathons with Team World Vision's to raise funds for clean water projects.
