Hey y’all, and welcome to Monday Manna!
Join us in celebrating a little milestone and the hope that God is doing something special in the church today…
Saluting the 101
After 7 months of pouring our hearts, souls, prayers, and countless hours into Substack, we have a little milestone we want to celebrate with you all!
101 people have said YES! Praise God!
101 people have made the decision to invest in their lives and become paid subscribers to Bible Health.
And this means more to us than you may realize.
Since 2014, we have shared natural living tips with millions of people, have written three best-selling books in 9 different languages, and sold over 250,000 copies. Hundreds of thousands of people have watched our essential oil masterclass, many of whom have purchased our digital products.
All the while, we’ve prayed, studied, sacrificed, and worked tirelessly to share a message God placed on our hearts outside of ‘natural living’…
Jesus came not only to save our souls, but to bring freedom, healing, and restoration to our minds, bodies, and everyday lives.
The abundant life He promised touches EVERYTHING.
And yet, there isn’t even a category on Amazon for what we do!
Bible Health is hard to explain sometimes because so much of the Church has separated physical health from spiritual health, when Scripture shows us just how intricately connected they really are.
Our relationship with God should transform how we think, how we eat, how we steward our bodies, how we raise our children, how we manage our finances, and how we live every single day.
This is Bible Health. And it’s the message we’ve devoted our lives to sharing.
So when 101 people say, “YES! I get it. I see the value. I believe in this message enough to invest my hard-earned money and walk alongside you,” we don’t take that lightly.
Not for one second.
We’re incredibly grateful for the 4,000+ free subscribers & followers who have joined us here on Substack.
Every one of you is a blessing.
But to the 101 who have chosen to go deeper:
We salute you. We honor you. We thank God for you. ❤️
And we want to celebrate this milestone publicly, not to draw attention to ourselves, but to encourage YOU.
Because God is doing something. He’s moving in the hearts and minds of His people!
If God could deliver Israel through Gideon and 300 men, just imagine what He can do with 101 people who are hungry for His Word and willing to follow His leading!
It’s never been about the numbers. It’s about obedience, faithfulness, and the power of God working through willing hearts.
And we pray, in the mighty name of Jesus, that God continues to bring more people He’s called to walk alongside us. Families hungry for His Word, eager to renew their minds, and ready to experience His abundant life in every area.
We don’t know exactly where God will take this little Bible Health revival.
But we know Who called us to it.
And today, we’re simply overwhelmed with gratitude.
To God be ALL the glory!
YOUR DAILY MANNA
“And the LORD said to Gideon, ‘With the 300 men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand, and let all the others go every man to his home.’” — Judges 7:7
Gideon started with 32,000 men.
The enemy camp was so massive that Scripture says they lay along the valley “like locusts in abundance” (Judges 7:12). Any general would have asked God for more soldiers.
God asked for fewer.
First He sent home everyone who was afraid, and 22,000 walked away. Then He narrowed the rest down at the water’s edge until only 300 remained.
And He told Gideon exactly why:
“The people with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel boast over Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me’.” — Judges 7:2
God wasn’t making the battle harder. He was making sure everyone would know Who won it.
The 300 went into that camp with trumpets and torches in their hands. And remember who was leading them. When God first called Gideon, he was threshing wheat in a winepress, hiding from the very enemy he would defeat (Judges 6:11).
Yet the angel greeted him with, “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor” (Judges 6:12).
God doesn’t wait for big numbers or impressive résumés. He looks for willing hearts, and then He does what only He can do.
That’s true of this community. And it’s true in your home, your health, your marriage and your work.
So here is your one thing this week.
Think of one place where you’ve been waiting for “more” before you obey: more time, more money, more people, more certainty. This week, take one step of obedience with what’s already in your hands, and trust God with the outcome.
May the Lord give you the courage of Gideon’s 300 to step forward with what you have and leave the victory to Him.
God has never needed a bigger army. He’s looking for willing hearts.
