Have you ever felt the profound peace of being known and loved, imperfections and all? Join us, as we continue into the new year with hearts wide open, embracing the sublime truths nestled within Psalm 139. Our conversation traverses through the valleys and peaks of being fully understood by God, echoed in the children's book called "The Run Away Bunny," and the life-changing realization that our deepest fears of unworthiness are quelled by divine acceptance.

With a fresh start upon us, we gather around the spiritual campfire to share a unique praise fest grounded in Psalm 139's opening verses. This practice guides us towards a more intimate relationship with the Lord, who knows our thoughts before they even take shape. Our personal anecdotes and metaphors serve to illustrate the transformative impact of recognizing God's omnipresence, infusing our everyday walk with a sense of security and purpose.

The episode then leads us down a path of self-discovery and gratitude, even amidst the thorns of suffering. You'll hear about Christina's wrestling match with chronic Lyme disease, a testament to the intricate tapestry of life's pain and beauty. We then venture into the New Testament, seeking solace and strength, and learn how our trials can carve a deeper space for intimacy with the Lord. This heartfelt exchange is an invitation to join us in celebrating our design, confronting our struggles, and pursuing an unobstructed relationship with our ever-present God.

Shed the "weight" of food-related fears as Heidi and Christina share a feast of wisdom on tackling the anxiety of weight gain from a single meal. We peel back the layers of dieting's illusion of control, revealing thinking with the "mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16) can cultivate a serene relationship with food and eating. 

Feeling guilty after an indulgent meal is all too common, but we're here to flip that script. We discuss the transformative 'look and learn' method, a guilt-free way to learn from our lapses in eating discipline. By challenging the stronghold of overeating with a hearty portion of Mind Renewal and God's unwavering truth, we present an alternative narrative where being 'triggered' doesn't mean defeat. Discover the liberating concept of 'Spirit-Led Eating' and how keeping in rhythm with the Spirit of God can lead to a balanced and joyful approach to mealtime.

We invite you to join us in celebrating food freedom, where portion awareness and understanding the deeper motivations behind our choices take precedence over fear. Through our conversation, we hope to inspire you to confidently say "no thank you" to judgment and "yes" to a lifestyle of well-being that honors your body and spirit. So, let's break bread together and feast without fear..

Is your heart, like John Calvin said, an 'idol factory'? This pressing question drives our latest episode, where we cast a revealing light on the modern face of idolatry. As we navigate through our daily lives, we often overlook the subtleties of what we prioritize, dedicating time and thought to things that may not always align with our walk with Jesus. 

Encountering our idols— the intensity of a high-stress career or an obsession with fitness—propels us to seek a balance that honors godly priorities over societal commendation. Let's peel back the layers of fear and admiration that often cloud our true value, unraveling how these can contort into idols that taint our self-perception. There is liberation found in grounding ourselves in faith, a process that fosters peace and self-worth, independent of the world's ever-changing standards.

In a world where overconsumption is often mistaken for fulfillment, we introduce a revolutionary concept: Spirit-led eating. It's here that we find solace, especially amidst Christina's personal struggle with chronic Lyme disease, which reframed her understanding of productivity and worth. We provide you with five guiding intentions to navigate your culinary journey, advocating for a mode of consumption that is as nourishing for the soul as it is for the body. Join us at our table of intention and grace, where each bite is an act of thanksgiving and appreciation for the body's divine design.

Today, we are joined by Sherry from Grace Street Coaching, who helps illuminate the myriad ways trauma manifests in our lives and its impact on our mental health. Together, we share about personal journeys of overcoming betrayal in  marriage, and how to rebuild trust by rooting the path to recovery in God's truth.
