Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep running back to food when I know it won’t satisfy?” For so many of us, food has quietly become a stronghold—a place we go to for comfort, escape, or relief instead of turning to God. At first, it feels like a refuge. But before long, it becomes a prison, chaining us to patterns of guilt and shame we never wanted.

Today we’re unpacking what the Bible calls strongholds, and how to begin tearing them down with God’s power. You’ll learn to recognize when food (or anything else) is trying to take God’s rightful place in your life, and how to reclaim Him as your true source of comfort and peace.

This isn’t about willpower or restriction. It’s about freedom. Strongholds crumble when we learn to replace lies with truth and choose God as our refuge. You don’t have to stay chained to the same old patterns—you can step into lasting freedom.

Lasting transformation doesn’t happen because we try harder—it happens because our minds are renewed. The thoughts we dwell on shape our beliefs, and our beliefs drive our actions. That means if we want to break free from emotional eating, we can’t just change our food—we have to change our thinking.

Today we’re unpacking what it really looks like to renew your mind with God’s truth so you can stop cycling through shame, diets, and discouragement. This is about more than behavior modification. It’s about letting God do the deep work of transformation from the inside out.

Have you ever caught yourself believing the whisper, “You’ll never change”? Or maybe the quiet lie that says, “Food will always be your comfort”? The truth is, every battle with emotional eating begins in the mind. And the enemy is relentless in feeding us lies that keep us stuck, ashamed, and longing for freedom.

But God’s Word offers a better way. In today’s Bible study, we’re digging into what it looks like to identify the lies we’ve been believing and replace them with His truth. When we learn to renew our minds with Scripture, strongholds are broken, habits begin to shift, and freedom becomes possible—not just in theory, but in our everyday choices.

This isn’t about trying harder or following another diet plan. It’s about letting God reshape the way we think so we can finally walk in the peace and confidence He has for us.

Emotional eating often feels like something we just “slip into”—a way of coping with stress, grief, or even celebration. But the truth is, food was never meant to be our refuge. When it takes God’s place in our hearts, it becomes a stronghold.

In this introduction to the Freedom From Emotional Eating Bible Study series, we’ll unpack why food has such a grip on us, how to recognize it as a stronghold, and what it looks like to set boundaries that protect rather than restrict. Together, we’ll explore how to end our “affair with food” and instead run to God as our true refuge.

This isn’t about dieting or sheer willpower. It’s about renewing your mind, breaking free from lies, and walking in lasting freedom with Christ.

Have you ever found yourself standing in front of the pantry—not because you’re hungry, but because you’re stressed, sad, overwhelmed, or even celebrating? That’s emotional eating, and it has a way of keeping us stuck in guilt, shame, and the weight we don’t want to carry.

I know, because I’ve lived it. After losing my dad, I found myself reaching for food to fill the ache I didn’t want to face. And while food gave me momentary comfort, it left me heavier, emptier, and more frustrated than before. The truth is, emotional eating isn’t just about food—it’s about what we believe and how we cope with life’s hardest moments.

Today I'm uncovering the hidden triggers that drive emotional eating and sharing practical, faith-based steps to help you break free. With God’s truth and renewed thinking, you can overcome the cycle of using food for comfort and finally find lasting peace and freedom.

Do you ever feel like you’ve tried everything—every diet, every workout plan, every “quick fix”—yet nothing seems to stick? You lose weight for a little while, only to find yourself right back where you started, exhausted and discouraged. Friend, I know that cycle all too well.

Here’s what God showed me: the reason diets fail isn’t because you’re not disciplined enough. It’s because you’ve been building on the wrong foundation. For years, I tried to lose weight man’s way—through deprivation, extreme diets, and willpower alone—and it always left me frustrated. But when I finally invited God into my health journey, everything shifted.

In this episode, I share how to rebuild your health on a firm foundation of faith, biblical truth, and identity in Christ. Think of it like “demo day” on Fixer Upper—you’ve got to tear down the old, shaky walls and start fresh with something solid if you want lasting transformation.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things, yet your weight loss journey keeps stalling—or worse, sliding backwards? Maybe the scale won’t budge, or you’ve had one too many “setback” moments that left you feeling defeated and ready to give up. I’ve been there, friend, and I know how heavy it feels.

Today I am sharing my personal story of setbacks and the powerful mindset shift that changed everything. What I discovered is this: weight loss isn’t just about eating less and moving more—it’s about renewing your mind. Romans 12:2 reminds us not to conform to the patterns of the world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. That truth is the foundation of lasting health and freedom.

We’ll talk about how to stop letting failures define you, how to reframe setbacks as stepping stones, and how to lean into biblical principles that bring lasting transformation from the inside out.

Have you ever had a moment when you wondered if God loves someone else more than you? Maybe you’ve looked at a leader, a singer, or even a friend and thought, “Of course God delights in her… but what about me?”

Today I'm sharing a raw story about how the enemy tried to use a worship song to plant a lie in my mind—that God loved Kari Jobe more than He loved me. For a moment, I almost believed it. But God quickly reminded me of the truth: I am His daughter, seen, known, and delighted in—not because of what I do, but because of who I am in Christ.

If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, self-doubt, or believing lies about your worth, this episode will encourage you to root yourself in Scripture, renew your mind, and confidently stand in the truth of God’s love.
