Are you tired of using food rules, restriction, or perfectionism as a “quick fix” for a deeper need?

So many Christian women get stuck in the loop of trying another diet, stricter rule, or harder workout to feel better—only to end up empty, exhausted, and frustrated. This episode helps untangle why those quick fixes never truly satisfy and points listeners to a better, lasting source of nourishment—both physically and spiritually. 

Brittany unpacks how God’s provision in Exodus (manna and water from the rock) speaks directly into the habits, fears, and control patterns that keep women stuck in disordered eating and poor body image.

In today’s episode, we’re finishing a two-part mini-series inspired by Pastor Adam Robinson’s sermon series on Exodus. Brittany explains the Manna Principle (why God gives just what we need each day) and the water from a rock story, and she gets real about how inconsistent Bible reading has impacted her own trust and spiritual nourishment. 

Expect practical, Christ-centered encouragement for replacing quick-fix behaviors with daily spiritual habits and a simple action plan to start meeting the real needs hiding behind your behaviors.

A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…

🍞 What “manna every day” really taught the Israelites—and what it can teach us about daily spiritual nourishment

💧 A surprising truth about where people look for comfort when they’re thirsty (and why it fails)

🍩 A light but real story about eating a half dozen donuts

🛠️ An incredible tool that can help you actually replace unhelpful food/body control habits (and it’s FREE!)

📝 Where to start figuring out the real needs behind your behaviors (no shame—just clarity)
