In Part 2 of our Radiant Grace series, we talk about those late-night moments when the house is quiet, the day catches up with us, and the pantry feels like relief. We’ve both been there. Food soothes or distracts for a minute, but shame often follows and labels it failure. Instead of condemning ourselves, we choose to treat the reach for food as information, not indictment, and let grace guide us back to real rest. We unpack why cravings spike when we’re tired, lonely, or overwhelmed, and we name the deeper longings underneath the “food noise”—to be loved, safe, seen, and held. With Scripture anchoring the conversation, we remember that God draws near to the brokenhearted, doesn’t scold the weary, and welcomes us honestly as we are.
From there, we share practical steps that help shift us from numbing to nurturing. We practice the five-word pause—“What do I need now, Lord?”—use a simple breath prayer when shame rises, and gently redirect our hearts toward gratitude and praise. We offer small experiments you can try tonight: check in before you snack, bring the longing to God first, reach for wise support, and then enjoy food as fuel and joy—not as a savior. If last night was hard, mercy meets us this morning and in every moment after. We’re building new, sustainable reflexes rooted in God’s presence—trading judgment for curiosity and learning to respond with radiant grace.
Class starts December 10th
