Today is all about imagining yourself at the dinner table with Jesus. What is being served?

The body of Jesus and your body. Really - that is what we will concentrate on in today’s episode and Chapter 6 of my book, Delay and Pray®.

I am inviting you to dinner - but not in the way you might expect. We’re talking about what I call “Dining In with Jesus.”

This is a powerful mindset and practice that will transform not only your body as you dine in on your fat stores but your soul, too, as you crave the Word of God and the Body of Christ in the Eucharist over eating anything else.

If you’ve ever struggled with intermittent fasting or felt like food had too much control in your life, this episode is for you.
