The magazines&#8217; focus is to entertain, educate, and engage both the readers and the writers through memoir excerpts, personal essays, reviews, interviews, and craft articles (Hippocampus Magazine). The magazine features content from new and already established authors. Their audience consists of those who enjoy real, heartfelt, and honest experiences. The diversity in their audience includes those wanting to make their writing better and having conversations about creative nonfiction (Hippocampus Magazine). They value those complexities of life stories that help establish empathy and understanding.

This magazine\u2019s content seeks to link faith to a lifestyle of health and fitness. Its writing style consists of personal narratives concerning Christianity, health, and fitness topics written less formally than other Christian magazines like Christianity Today. This magazine uses plain communication which as Dunham mentions \u201cmeans information you can find, understand and use quickly\u201d (33).<\/p>\n<ol style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 25px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/strong><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">The publication\u2019s likelihood to publish articles written from a Christian worldview.

One recently published health article mentions how Chief Ashely Keyes works for C.H.O.I.C.E., an organization that helps reduce obesity levels in children by teaching them to eat and prepare healthy meals. C.H.O.I.C.E. provides an easy meal-prepared model of eating for children (Bloom 2024). All this healthy eating aligns with scripture, \u201cWhat things are good, pure, wholesome- &#8216; God-given,\u2019 we can and should think and focus on these things\u201d (Philippians 4:8; Bloom 2024). Another article by Michael Witting concerns outdoor workouts, especially when the gym is unavailable (2024). Witting shows how to do outdoor workouts with resistance bands that are easy to pack and carry (Wittig 2024). He highlights how you are prone to fewer distractions while doing exercises outdoors and can better connect with God (Wittig 2024). He also mentions how our bodies are a gift given by God and that we should care for them to serve Him better in the areas we are called (Wittig 2024). In Chris Timm\u2019s article titled, \u201cLiving with Perseverance,\u201d he tells how he was a cross-country runner, and his team had been victorious in acquiring the championship (Timm 2024). He describes how running can be challenging when there are alterations in the \u201celevation and terrain\u201d and the weather, which all require perseverance to run with (Timm 2024). He quotes Hebrews 12:11 \u201cAnd let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us\u201d (Timm 2024). He explains that just like running a planned route our lives are planned by God\u2019s purpose and with perseverance we can accomplish that plan (Timm 2024).<\/p>\n<ol style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 25px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/strong><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Your&nbsp;Writing Creative Nonfiction Essay Assignment&#8217;s alignment with those features of the publication.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">I believe my essay aligns well with this essay\u2019s intersections of health and fitness and Christianity topics because I am incorporating a common health issue of obesity.

I am also incorporating God into our health activities: such as taking care of our body, God\u2019s temple, listening to worship music while working out, repeating positive declarations, quoting scriptures of health and wellness, and incorporating faith through the visualization technique pictures of me being fit and healthy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Revisions that may be necessary to your proposal or essay to seek publication in that source.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">The revisions I may need to make to address the Faith &amp; Fitness magazine in my proposal essay is to change my proposal-directed audience from those of the CT magazine. I may need to include more scriptures on health and healing and make it even more God-centered. This magazine likes to include many pictures and videos in their articles, so I will have to add images. Dunham mentions, \u201cPhotos\u2026should illustrate the major elements, particularly those that are hard to visualize from a verbal description alone\u201d (Dunham 24). I may wish to incorporate photos to include more strength training exercise recommendations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\u201cFaith &amp; Fitness Magazine &#8211; Lifestyle Media Group.\u201d&nbsp;<em style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Lifestyle Media Group<\/em>, 11 Nov. 2022, www.lifestylemediagroup.com\/brands\/faith-and-fitness\/.
