In this Healthy for My Purpose episode, we dive into a transformative and thought-provoking conversation with Reverend Shad and Erinna Groverland, trailblazers leading the charge for plant-based living within the Christian faith. 

Together, we explore the powerful intersections of veganism, scripture, and spirituality, challenging conventional views on food and its role in the modern church. 

Reverend Shad and Erinna share their journeys to embracing a plant-based lifestyle, the spiritual revelations that guided them, and how they’ve built an all-vegan church community focused on health, compassion, and Biblical teachings. 

From reinterpreting scripture to align with the original harmony of Eden to addressing the cognitive dissonance many Christians face regarding food choices, this episode unpacks deep questions about faith, health, and stewardship of God’s creation. 

With insights into how toxic food has become a subtle yet powerful weapon undermining the body of Christ, this conversation invites listeners to reflect on whether their diet aligns with their faith. 

Whether you're a committed Christian, curious about veganism, or seeking a healthier, more compassionate lifestyle, this episode offers inspiration, practical wisdom, and a bold call to action to create a church culture of healing and restoration.

About Rev. Shad and Erinna Groverland:

Rev. Shad and Erinna Groverland are the co-founders of Fillmore Church, a newly-launched church in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, based on the Practical Christian teachings of Myrtle and Charles Fillmore. Just as the Fillmores merged ethical vegetarianism into a new perspective on Christianity over 100 years ago, the Fillmore church continues that legacy today with a plant-forward approach that honors the vegan lifestyle that Rev. Shad and Erinna live. Practical Christianity also emphasizes our God-given power to heal our minds and bodies and our collective responsibility to care for all beings and nature by reducing our consumption and living a low-impact lifestyle.
