Ep 28. Is Overeating a Sin? | A Compassionate, Biblical Look at Food, Fullness & the Heart


Listen Later

Have you ever finished a meal - or a weekend full of food and wine — and found yourself wondering, “Did I just overeat? Was that a sin?” I know I have, and it’s a question that came up for me after a recent weekend away in the Barossa Valley. In this episode, I’m sharing a compassionate, biblical perspective on a topic many of us quietly wrestle with overeating. We’ll explore six key truths that help us understand what overeating really is - and what it isn’t. From the Bible’s portrayal of food as a gift, to the heart posture behind gluttony, to the physiological realities of hunger, exhaustion, and stress, we’ll unpack how God meets us in our humanity with grace, not shame. I also share one of my favourite Scripture stories - Elijah under the broom tree - as a tender reminder of how God cares for our bodies and our hearts before He calls us to action. By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with a clearer, gentler understanding of your hunger, your body, and your heart. You’ll be encouraged to approach food, fullness, and your own needs with curiosity instead of guilt, and you’ll be reminded that God’s goodness and provision are not measured by portion sizes - He simply wants you to taste and see that He is good.
