I am Apostle Julie Ward-Weathington, and I am the CEO & Founder of JW Born To Thrive, a transformational wellness and empowerment brand that equips individuals to honor their bodies as the temple of God through disciplined health practices, spiritual alignment, and lifestyle renewal. Inspiring people to move from survival to thriving, I am here to help you navigate your way to wholeness by strengthening the mind, body, and spirit with practical tools, faith-centered teaching, and sustainable habits.

As someone who struggled with being overweight, I understand firsthand what it feels like to know better and still find yourself stuck in cycles that don’t serve your body or your calling. For a long time, I relied on the mercy and grace of God, believing I didn’t have any real problems, even as the Lord gently warned me about the damage I was doing to my temple, and revealed that many of His leaders were bound in the same way, needing freedom. Over time, those gentle nudges became undeniable. Still, I didn’t immediately obey. But through loss, conviction, and a divine wake-up call, I realized that caring for my body was not optional, it was spiritual obedience. Through my own journey, what began as an idea, Taking Care of the Temple, has now become a mission: to help others break free from unhealthy cycles, honor God with their bodies, and walk fully in the wholeness He intended—spirit, mind, and body. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, I invite you to connect with me and take the next step in your transformation.
