This Life We Live in the Body: A Podcast about Gospel Centered Weight Loss

Hi. We know we've been AWOL for a while and you've missed us so much. Do you think eating some cookie dough ice cream might help you feel better? This episode (recorded a long time ago, actually!) is about eating our feelings. 

Daven is our "little" brother who is extremely gifted with many talents and abilities. Recently, though, he faced a scary health issue that gave him a temporary disability. He joins us this week for a mini-episode to talk about how this experience has changed his perspective on this life we live in the body.

It's a party and we will eat if we want to!  And we will do it to the glory of God.  In this episode, we discuss the enjoyment of celebrating wonderful things in life with the food that also fills us--the sins and victories.

The scale provides one indicator of weight loss success, but there are lots of other ways to track progress. Tracking measurements, progress photos, and new clothes sizes can also tell you that your body shape is changing. On this episode, we discuss ways in which these "non-scale victories" can be helpful and encouraging, and ways that they can ultimately trip you up. 

When we are trying to lose weight, what should our goals look like? Can a specific "goal weight" help or hurt our goal to lose weight in a God honoring way?  This episode we explore the idea of having a goal weight.

Want to try Keto?  Paleo?  Whole 30?  But don't know if you can do it in a godly way?  Join our discussion on how the gospel affects our relationship with food and how we should or shouldn't approach diets that restrict what we can and cannot eat.

Can a weight loss tool like cardio exercise have spiritual implications? We think so! Katie, also, provides a unique (and vulnerable) perspective with her experience cardio exercise since her diagnosis with MS. How can we sin or glorify God when it comes to exerting our bodies to the point that we feel weak? Is it good or bad? Join us.

Happy New Year! We're back! Is the fresh start of a new year inspiring you to make some new goals when it comes to your weight? What does the gospel say about that? Join us and learn with us.
