"Us southerners love butter beans and purple hull peas. However, I have been told they are not that healthy. What are the best options?" Rebecca Turner tackles this listener's question and shares insight that teaches you to respect starchy vegetables, not remove them!

Everyone needs to eat, including the people of the Bible. Historical societies and religions of all kinds practiced or actively practiced some form of dietary restriction for a vast array of reasons. Biblical law is no different. In this episode, Rebecca Turner reads an excerpt from her latest book, Enjoy Good Health, on food rules in biblical law.

Portion sizes are a tool to help choose an appropriate amount of a certain food. Portion control can help you get the nutrients and enjoyment out of food without overeating. But, portion control can become a prison and feel more like torture than a tool. Listen and learn how to approach portion sizes from a fresh perspective.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States, yet it feels people don't take its diagnosis seriously enough. You may find navigating the path to better heart health overwhelming. My guest, Dr. Josie Bidwell, FNP-C, breaks down the components of cardiovascular disease, and offers heart hope!

And while I hope this process ends in you taking better care of your heart, physically, I am here to urge you to take stock of your spiritual heart health, too. You will be encouraged to turn your Bible to Mark 4: 3-20.

You can connect with Dr. Josie Bidwell online, and tell her I sent you!
