Eat the Pie: A Christian Mom’s Guide to Holiday Eating Without Guilt—S1:Ep57
If Thanksgiving makes you anxious about food, worried about overeating, or convinced you’re going to “mess up” your progress… you are NOT alone.
Every year, Christian moms walk into the holidays stressed, discouraged, and carrying pressure God never asked them to carry.
This episode is your complete reset.
Not a diet plan.
Not holiday hacks.
Not “healthy swaps.”
But biblical clarity that frees your heart from fear and helps you enjoy food the way God actually designed you to.
Because here’s the truth:
Food is a good gift from a good God.
Not a test.
Not a trap.
Not a moral exam.
In this powerful, freedom-filled conversation, Ingrid walks you through:
✨ Why Christians experience so much shame around holiday eating—and how Scripture dismantles that shame
✨ The three biggest holiday lies women believe
(“I’ll blow it,” “I’ll start in January,” and “I can’t trust myself around food”)
✨ How to build a Thanksgiving plate that is nourishing AND enjoyable
without dieting, restricting, skipping meals, or overeating
✨ Simple, grace-filled holiday rhythms
that stabilize your blood sugar, support your energy, and protect your mood
(protein first, hydration, balanced carbs, slow eating, calm pacing, etc.)
✨ Why enjoyment is biblical
and how delight can be an act of worship when it’s rooted in gratitude instead of fear
✨ How to approach dessert without spiraling into shame
so you can eat the pie with joy and walk away in peace
✨ Why self-control is a fruit of the Spirit—not something you earn through willpower
✨ How to break the “all-or-nothing” holiday mindset
so you don’t spend the whole season cycling between guilt, overeating, and starting over
You will walk away from this episode feeling:
✔ anchored
✔ steady
✔ spiritually grounded
✔ physiologically supported
✔ confident
✔ FREE
…ready to enjoy your holiday meal in a way that honors God, nourishes your body, and doesn’t chain you to guilt or restriction.
This isn’t another message telling you to “be good.”
This is a biblically rooted invitation to walk into Thanksgiving with wisdom, freedom, gratitude, and JOY.
Eat the pie.
Give thanks.
And stop letting fear decide how you show up at the table.
