A LIVE 7-Week Online Course with Etta Hornsteiner, founder of LiveLiving International Foundation, educator, coach and author
I know you want to feel vibrant, healthy, alive! You want to feel God’s abundant life pulsing through you, energizing your body, as you become all He has created you to be.
Now imagine you have all the time in the world to experience that— Never feeling overwhelmed, only full, satisfied, knowing that life is not perfect but you are on cue; the rhythm of life is flowing in and through you. The world may be offbeat, but you…you are in a state of harmony because you are rooted in and upheld by the powerful presence of God’s love
But the reality is you’re overwhelmed. You’re always playing catch up but never catching up. Your plate clears only to be filled up and overflowing again.
And it’s happened so many times, now you’re approaching burnout. You know this because your health is calling you to pay attention to your body and life in a new way.
And here’s why that’s happening. Our world makes us feel that we never have enough time to live. We only have enough time to work. And work makes us feel we never have enough time to complete the important tasks only the urgent. So, we finance the demands of life with our time. Before we know it, we have buried our true self under the stress and pressures of life, resulting in soulessness.
Our body speaks to us, begging for a new way, but we just don’t have the time, we say, to listen: we’re too busy, too exhausted. We become disconnected, disjointed. We’re moving but never arriving at that place where we feel satisfied. Eventually, sickness—obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, depression, or anxiety—set in. Now you must find a new way to live.
And it begins with time.
You see, you actually do have enough time to have the life you imagine, if you live in life-giving time!
Life begets life.
How do you access this life-giving time, you ask?
By paying attention to the voice of God’s love deep within your inner being. That is where the wellspring of life is. It is where your transformation begins, and where you regain your full autonomy.
Now is the time to regain your power.
Time is your gift from your Creator. Time is not your master.
Take back your power and redesign your time to give you life, the life you want and deserve.
That is why I have created a new online course called The Time Redesign: Redefining Your Relationship with Time to Transform Your Health and Wellbeing
My promise to you is that you will develop powerful spiritual practices to cultivate life-giving time that brings you vitality, joy and freedom. These spiritual practices will transform how you see your body, how you use food and sleep, and how you approach exercise and relationships.
By the end of this course, you will have more vigor in your body. You will experience wholeness, no longer a separation between your faith and health. You will have confidence knowing that life is not driving you; God’s life-giving love is wooing you. Each day you will enjoy living fully as a human being physically, mentally and spiritually well.
I wish someone had walked alongside me 20 years ago as an accountability partner, a guide and coach to show me a healthier way to live out my career and vocation. Instead, I threw myself completely into my work, chained myself to my desk, and became a workaholic.
I was a high school teacher at the time, and each year I used up all my sick leave, not because I was physically ill but because I was emotionally depleted. I used holidays to catch up on my grading. I turned down weekend get-togethers with friends because I had to stay on top of my work. And church participation, or any activity outside of work, was out of the question. I had no time or space to give myself to anything else. Teaching was my service to God…but it felt more like a life-sentence. Something was amiss. My time was not my own. My life was not my own, until I was introduced to the sport of bodybuilding.
That’s when I broke up with my desk and began a relationship with my body. Yes, in bodybuilding I was training my muscles, but I was also acutely aware of the aliveness I began to feel in every other part of my physical being. I attributed this “aliveness” to God. It was as if the God in me was on steroids. An amazing spring of life flowed within me as I prepared for competitions—an hour in the gym training, then at least 45 minutes posing in front of the mirror at home while reciting Psalm 139:13-14. Posing—contracting my muscles—was not exactly exciting, so I infused the practice with scripture meditations and recitations. I had no idea that not only my body but also my mind was being transformed. My life was changed forever.
Ultimately, I changed my profession, but in retrospect, I didn’t need to. I needed to change my approach to living and my attitude toward my body. Once I started this journey of restoring wholeness to my life and began to experience the results, I wanted to help others find the same.

About Working With Etta
The Kingdom of God is within us and it consists of goodness, joy, and peace. These attributes are essential to our health and wellbeing.

We will also reflect on our relationship with time through the lens of seven archetypes. In this module, you will discover: –

This digital book collection of short essays is written by Etta Hornsteiner during her thirteen years as Editor-in-Chief of LiveLiving magazine.
For 21 years, Etta has been in the health and wellness field. Etta’s passion for health and wellness started when she began competing as a bodybuilder in 2001. Eventually that passion for competing morphed into living a healthy lifestyle, all while being a high school teacher, which she did for 13 years. Etta later became a personal trainer, training and teaching her clients about health and fitness. But the deep desire of Etta’s heart was to see members of the body of Christ enjoy healthy lives not just spiritually but also physically and mentally.
In response to this need, she began one of the first faith-based Christian digital magazines called LiveLiving. Etta published the magazine for 7 years before returning to school to pursue a master’s degree in integrative health and wellness coaching.
Today, Etta has a private coaching practice and a nonprofit organization called LiveLiving International Foundation, with the vision to help Christians experience kingdom-based healthy living by bridging spirituality and behavioral health through knowledge.
Etta is trained at the Maryland University of Integrative Health and Duke Integrative Medicine. She holds a master’s degree in education with emphasis in theater and a master’s degree in Health and Wellness Coaching. She is certified by the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching in the United States and is a member of the International Coaching Federation.
