On this episode, we take a look at a millennial favorite: mindfulness. We think mindful eating can help us better receive food as a gift and recognize the ways that God is providing us with life and joy.

In this episode, we discuss the complex connection between eating and our emotions, offering both positive and negative descriptions of emotional eating.

On this episode, we talk about the crucial role of imagination in cultivating freedom and joy surrounding food and our bodies.

We make a ton of rules around food: what we eat, when we eat, how we eat, and so on. But these rules tend to leave us feeling ashamed of our bodies and the food that we eat. What if our food rules opened us up to greater gratitude and love for God, our food, and our bodies?

In the finale of our series on the biblical story, we consider eternity, where God will be all in all. Knowing where we are headed, to a place where God's affirmation over food and our bodies is all around, we are empowered to eat presently with great joy and love for our bodies.

In the third episode in our mini-series, we talk about how Jesus ushers in the divine redemption of food and our bodies through entering into embodied life and cherishing these gifts of creation everywhere He goes.

Blake and Megan continue a mini-series on the grand story of Scripture. By examining the Fall, we learn how to embrace our identity as creatures of God and receive the divine blessing over food and our bodies, instead of living in fear and shame.

On this episode, Blake and Megan launch a new series about the story of God's work in the world, beginning with an in-depth look at creation. We think that narrating the world as God's creation helps us view food and our bodies as very good.

Blake and Megan talk about the harsh ways we speak to ourselves, the true meaning of gluttony and self-control, and a better way forward in which our inner voice becomes one of kindness and compassion.

On this episode, Blake and Megan talk about what it looks like to exercise with a genuine love and care for your body rather than solely to pursue thinness.
