189. Is Overeating a Sin? What the Bible Really Says About Gluttony and Food Freedom


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered if your struggle with food makes you sinful? Or maybe you’ve heard verses about “gluttony” and instantly felt guilt or shame creep in?

So many Christian women are caught in a cycle of confusion — trying to honor God with their bodies, but unsure where the line is between enjoying food and “overeating.” This episode breaks down what the Bible actually says about gluttony, appetite, and freedom in Christ — without twisting Scripture or piling on more shame.

In today’s episode, I’m bringing back our most downloaded conversation ever — one that’s set countless women free from fear-based thinking around food. Together, we’ll unpack biblical truth, dismantle diet-culture lies hiding behind “holiness,” and discover what it means to walk in true food freedom as a believer.

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

🍞 A deeper look at what the Bible really means when it mentions gluttony

💭 How to recognize when guilt (not the Holy Spirit) is guiding your food choices

🙅‍♀️ The difference between conviction and condemnation when it comes to eating

🙏 What honoring God with your body actually looks like in daily life

💖 Encouragement to release the shame and walk in grace-filled freedom around food
