Episode 157 - Carol Ann – Chiseled Faith Director of Education: Chiseled Faith Author: Chiseled Faith Fitness Expert, Author, Educator, Health & Fitness Entrepreneur “I always felt that something was missing from the faith-based community.” “Live a life of abundance...not be a slave to your body.” - Carol Ann In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies are joined by the amazingly uplifting, beautiful, and intelligent woman by the name of Carol Ann, the mastermind behind Chiseled Faith. Carol Ann felt something was missing from the faith-based community with regards to exercise and caring for the body. As a result, she wrote, Chiseled Faith, a manuscript that lays the groundwork for educating religious communities to improve nutrition and exercise routines through teachings of the Bible. While the fitness industry talks about the idea of exercising the mind and body, Carol Ann is a pioneer in finding a way to “tap into spirituality” through Chiseled Faith. With staggering numbers of obese and unhealthy clergy and religious officials on the rise, Carol Ann knew it was time to find a way to “work in” fitness and nutrition into the religious community. Carol Ann also discusses how growing up as a Fundamental Baptist in the south provided her with the inspiration to create a faith-based health and wellness program that perfectly juxtaposes the principles of exercise science with faith. Her dedication to provide community motivation and inspiration through the words of the Bible are unparalleled as seen through her devotion to Chiseled Faith. This episode will surely inspire you! -The Two Fit Crazies www.twofitcrazies.com Chiseled Faith: www.ChiseledFaith.com Social Media Handles: @ChiseledFaith
