When God opens a door… are you brave enough to walk through it?
In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant sits down with Frannie Foltz to talk about faith, health, and the courage it takes to pivot when life shifts. Frannie shares her powerful story of transformation, including the moment a trainer asked one question that changed her trajectory—and how that wake-up call became the start of a lifelong health journey.
You’ll also hear how her teaching gift has shown up in different seasons: from the classroom, to coaching health and fitness, to helping entrepreneurs build online businesses—especially during the massive shifts of 2020. Plus, she shares what she looks for in new clients (and why serving matters more than money), and what she’s creating next, including devotionals and a children’s book series coming in 2026.
If you’re in a transition, rebuilding after a setback, or sensing God calling you into something new, this conversation will encourage you to take the next brave step.
