Biblical Truths for a Healthy Relationship with Food and Body: 4 Things Every Christian Should Hear


Listen Later

What does the Bible really say about health, food, and body image? 

You asked, I'm delivering! Due to popular demand, here's another episode on the topic of faith & food freedom or being a Christian woman while navigating a healthy relationship with food.

I've boiled my thoughts down to 4 biblical truths I think every Christian woman (or man, really) needs to hear about honoring God with her body.... without making health an idol. Learn how faith and science work together, why “your body is a temple” is often misunderstood, and how to find peace in biblical stewardship, not obsession.
