About Live Wholehearted
Live Wholehearted is a resource for Christian women seeking encouragement and help in caring for their bodies.
Many Christian women love the Lord and want to honour him with their whole lives, yet their faith and health have been kept separate. They've tried the plans and fresh starts, and feel discouraged and defeated when progress does not last.
Live Wholehearted aims to offer hope and help to women who want a different approach. We believe the gospel provides a new identity and hope for every area of life, including our bodies. We provide resources and coaching that connect gospel truth with the practical aspects of eating, moving, resting, and learning to enjoy the bodies God has given us.
What we believe
Your body matters to God
God made it, Christ redeemed it, and the Holy Spirit lives in it. Caring for it is part of worship (1 Cor 6:19–20).
Slow change is lasting change
Small habits, practised faithfully, lead to lasting results.
There's grace for setbacks
A hard day is information. Christ has wiped the slate clean, and that includes yesterday's mistakes.
About Char
Char Dash is the founder of Live Wholehearted. She lives in downtown Toronto with her husband, Darryl, a pastor. Char and Darryl have two adult children and a grandson.
For years, Char cared for everyone except herself: her family, her church, and her career. Her own health slipped to the bottom of the list.
The turning point came one summer when she tried to get up on a kneeboard and her body could no longer do what once came easily. She started small with simple habits. Over the next 12 years, she lost 75 pounds. She also discovered profound truths about what Scripture says about our bodies.
Char discovered that the grace she had received in Christ applied to her body too. Char admits she is not naturally a creature of habit, which is part of why she writes for women who think they are bad at habits.
Char is certified with Precision Nutrition and Revelation Wellness. She loves honest conversations, listening to other people’s stories, and encouraging others to press on and not give up.
