We're touching on two different traits today in our top ten list for Christ-centered health. They are FEARLESSNESS & HUMILITY. (For more on fear, see Season 2, Episodes 4-6 for my three…
I'm pretty sure Trait #5 isn't going to be anyone's favorite. It's PATIENCE. Just the thought of all the long-suffering patience requires is enough to drive any of us crazy. We want a q…
I know we've talked a LOT in this podcast about Trait #4: being SPIRIT-LED. But in this episode, I'm going to get really specific and include several examples of what that can look like…
We've come to Trait #3 on our top ten list: GRACE. You may wonder what grace has to do with dieting or food or body image or health. But once we open our scriptures and begin to chat a…

In this season, we've talked a lot about one key truth: underneath all our disordered eating and our food struggles hides some faulty thinking that needs to be shifted and rewired. As w…
After diving deep into the spiritual--or heart--side of the food battle, we need to stop and acknowledge that there IS a physical side to this struggle. For many of us, our wrestle wit…
In Philippians 3:19, Paul talks about those who "make their bellies their gods," and that "all they can think of is their appetites" (Message translation). Even though we may think we u…
Building on our last episode, we'll continue with the theme from 2 Corinthians 10 of fighting with the right weapons, which will include not only rejecting the world's theories on conqu…
