In this episode, we expand on our conversation with Jenn Bryant (from episode 89) on how the fruits of the Spirit relate to how we take care of our bodies. From finding joy in eating, making peace with food, being patient in all things, and exhibiting self-control, we discuss how the Holy Spirit works through us as we abide in Christ.

In this episode, we talk about the common practice of turning to food during times of stress. Food is not the solution and can sometimes make the situation even worse. We will never be able to live a stress-free life on this side of heaven, but we can learn how to deal with it on this earth. Finding rest in Jesus and laying our burdens at his feet is a great place to start.

In this episode, we dive into a recent research study that showed that nonnutritive sweeteners may raise blood sugars in some people. Jacque shares her expertise on the research study itself and how we should interpret the results in a practical way. We also discussed the purpose of these sweeteners, and the role they may play in our health. There are a lot of differing opinions on this topic, so we hope to have brought a nuanced, balanced viewpoint on this issue.

In this episode, we talk about the struggle to find contentment on this earth, especially when it comes to our bodies. Dieting is often a symptom of someone who is discontent with their body, but it is not the answer. As Christians, we are called to be content in all things, even when things don't go the way we want them too. We should be focusing on gratitude and acceptance as we seek to honor God with our bodies.

In this episode, we take a little break from food and nutrition and discuss how our careers and passions have changed over the years.

Brooke shares how her career priorities have changed, especially through the pandemic, and Jacque explains how her career has supported her love of food, but not necessarily nutrition.  We discuss seasons, deserts, and how to say "no".

In this episode, we discuss the concept of "Christian" diets. There are many of them out there promoting that they are "biblically-based", but what does that mean? We briefly review the Daniel Plan, the New Life Promise plan, and First Place 4 Health. We discuss the pros and cons of each of them, and how they are (or are not) different from mainstream diets.
