In this episode, we’ll wrap up our season on Faith-Based Eating with the opportunity for some personal reflection. We’ve worked hard this season to lay the foundation for a new way of thinking, and now it’s your turn to put it into action. As you ask the Lord for specific guidance to know your next step, it may lead you in a totally different direction than it led me. But that’s OK, because He alone knows what you need most and what will bring true and lasting healing.

In this season, we've talked a lot about one key truth: underneath all our disordered eating and our food struggles hides some faulty thinking that needs to be shifted and rewired. As we continue to uncover these deeper layers, we need to explore our view of our body--how we treat it, view it, feed, it, and even listen to it. Only then can we shift our perspective to a higher, more Christ-empowered view.

After diving deep into the spiritual--or heart--side of the food battle, we need to stop and  acknowledge that there IS a physical side to this struggle. For many of us, our wrestle with food may be complicated by the fact that our body is actually addicted to carbs and/or sugar. In other words, it's not just that our mouths enjoy the taste, but our brain also relishes the intense endorphin hit. As we acknowledge these addictive tendencies, it will allow the Lord to help us heal and stabilize all the imbalances in our physical body.

In Philippians 3:19, Paul talks about those who "make their bellies their gods," and that "all they can think of is their appetites" (Message translation). Even though we may think we understand what he's trying to say, the truth is that it can be really hard to see food as an idol in our lives. In this episode, we'll explore this idea in greater depth, and learn more about how to offer the affection of our hearts to God rather than our favorite treats.

Building on our last episode, we'll continue with the theme from 2 Corinthians 10 of fighting with the right weapons, which will include not only rejecting the world's theories on conquering the food fight, but also embracing the Lord's scripturally-based, gospel-centered system. There's only one way we can do this, and it starts with a 180 degree shift from everything our culture has been telling us about how to overcome.

While we're beginning to see that our struggle with food is first and foremost a spiritual battle, we also need to make sure we're choosing the right weapons. In this episode, we'll contrast 2 passages from Paul that show us exactly how to approach such a battle. If we place our trust in God's weapons as Paul encourages us in 2 Corinthians 10, we're promised that we really will (perhaps for the first time in our lives) find lasting success.

We often tackle the food on a physical level, meaning we focus mainly on reigning in our cravings through willpower and behavioral modification. But what we tend to forget is that it really is a spiritual battle as well. In this episode, we'll look at several different scriptural passages that outline this struggle, and how the Lord intends for us to overcome through strength in Him.

In this episode, we're going to do some honest, real, and authentic self-evaluation. In order to break free from the attachment we have to food, we need to know why we're attached in the first place. We need to do a little digging and look at where those strong, influential desires are coming from. Only as we understand what's going on underneath the surface can we allow the Lord to heal and change and transform the "wants" of our heart.
