God At the Center of My Eating Habits


Listen Later

Hold our Little Debbie, we're going all in on food. It's no secret that our culture has A LOT to say about how we eat. But it may surprise you that the Bible has a lot to say as well. If you've ever wrestled with the issue of food, if you've felt like you can't get your eating under control, if you wanna know how the Lordship of Jesus fits into this whole thing, today's episode is for you!  


The Short Story: We all have to eat food. It’s literally baked into our everyday lives 😋 Our society is big on eating correctly from a scientific standpoint. But should we be aware of moral standards concerning our eating?


What if God cares about how, when, and what you eat? How do you eat with God at the center?


1 Cor 10:31 "Therefore whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."


Application questions:

  • What is the purpose of food? Is there more than just one purpose?
  • Are you eating food for spiritual hunger or physical hunger? Are you eating for any other reason than hunger?
  • How can you be physically hungry but spiritually satisfied at the same time?
  • How has this conversation pushed you to think outside of your comfort zone?
  • We challenge you to write down one takeaway from this episode on a note card and put it in your pantry. Take a pic and share it on social media. Tag us so we can see it!
  • Choose one of the verses from above and dedicate some time to memorizing it.
