Gluttony in the church does not always look like excess food. Sometimes it looks like a life ruled by comfort, cravings, and constant consumption while calling it freedom.

In this episode, we are joined by Allyssa's husband, Nick, and we tackle how unchecked appetite can quietly become an idol, dulling our spiritual hunger for God. We unpack why fasting is one of Scripture’s greatest antidotes, training the flesh to submit, sharpening spiritual discernment, and reminding us that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from God.
