Over the past 2 episodes, I have emphasized how faith and love are essential in your journey toward food and body image freedom in Christ, so what’s left? Hope…of course! Hope is another critical ingredient for your walk to true freedom in Christ.
What is it like to live with an unhealthy or disordered mindset regarding food, eating, weight, and one’s own body? It is distressing! Worse yet, and more importantly, it becomes enslaving. The thoughts and emotions that drive you in these areas can imprison you over time. The emphasis on what, how, why, & when to eat as well as despair over your shape or size cause your eating, dieting, and exercise decisions, but they also leave you with negative emotions. Then these negative emotions drive further decisions, and on and on it goes.
You can see that something that should be as natural as eating and enjoying God’s gift of food becomes distorted and becomes quite a tyrant in your life. This can feel hopeless because we feel helpless.
So today we are talking all about the HOPE you need and that is available for you!
We looked at these Scriptures:
What Builds Hope: 1 Peter 1:3; Romans 15:4, 13; Romans 5:3-4; Psalm 119:114; Psalm 71:5; Psalm 33:18; Romans 8:23-25 (also mentioned: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; Titus 3:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:8; Ephesians 1:18).
What Hope Does: Romans 5:5; 1 John 3:3; Psalm 42:11; 1 Peter 1:13; Psalm 62:5; Proverbs 10:28; Psalm 10:28; Psalm 146:5.
Do Your Own Study on the Hope of the Gospel: Romans 4:23-5:21

There are many worldly tools available for those who find themselves struggling -perhaps even obsessed- with their eating, dieting, weight, and body image. However, these tools can only go so far as a remedy because if you are a Christian, you must look at the issues biblically and these worldly tools do not do that.
One of the most foundational issues we must look at right from the beginning of your journey to food and body image freedom in Christ is the issue of love. That might sound a bit odd, but listen to today’s podcast to find out why LOVE is the essential first step to breaking free from this bondage you’ve been living under.
Today we look at 4 areas regarding love that need to be addressed, even corrected, for your journey to food and body image freedom in Christ to be thorough and complete. You might be surprised by some of them!

Unless you are very familiar with biblical counseling, you might wonder why I have “brought” the issues of food freedom, body shame, and dieting into the Christian space. Legit question!
And if I wasn’t coming from the place and the background I have, I’d probably be wondering that right along with you!
So today I would like to show you – hopefully prove to you – that the realm of faith is EXACTLY where this discussion belongs.
Intrigued? I hope so! Tune in to hear today's message!

Of all the principles discussed so far, this is the one that makes the most difference! I will share it, give many practical tips to help you get the most out of your food budget, and then walk you through an example of what this looks like in practice. This is the last in a 4-part series on affordable nutritious eating and busting the myth that says to eat healthfully you must break the bank.
You will notice the episodes are shorter than normal, and I would love to know if you like this format. Do you prefer one longer episode that covers it all or do you like having shorter sections to listen to one at a time?

If you want to talk about eating both economically and healthfully, you MUST start with a discussion on eating plants. Plants are chock full of nutrients that we need. Often when people say they cannot afford to “eat healthy” they are overlooking these colorful, economical gems. Today I continue to debunk the myth of healthy eating being far more expensive.
This is the second in a 4-part series that shows you how affordable and nutritious eating is likely not out of reach for you, unlike what you may have thought.

One of the many nutrition trends that has had quite an impact is the gluten-free craze. And I know it has had quite an impact because over the past years, the gluten-free options at the grocery store have exploded in number. In fact, most grocery stores now have an entire section designated for gluten-free options.
This is quite a phenomenal development for those who have to eat a gluten-free diet...what a blessing!
But the question we are here to answer today is…do YOU need to eat a gluten-free diet to be healthier? Join me today as I discuss the facts about eating a gluten-free diet!

Our bodies need many different vitamins and minerals in order to function. There are certainly times when we don’t get enough and that causes #health and functional problems in our bodies.
It's common to be concerned about giving our bodies ultimate #nutrition, so does that mean we need to buy and use over-the-counter #supplements? If so, what do we need?
Today we are going to discuss the good, the bad, and even the dangers of using supplements.
