  • S3. E33. Stop worrying about food & your body (here's how!)

    If you’ve been worrying about food, your body, holiday eating, or whether you’re doing enough for your health, Jesus has an invitation for you: seek Him first. In this episode, we’re diving into Matthew 6:25-34 and the difference between intentional stewardship and frantic self-optimization. You’ll learn why Jesus tells us not to worry—not because our health doesn’t matter, but because our Heavenly Father already knows what we need. Plus, we’ll talk about how seeking God first can completely change the heart posture from which you care for your body.
    What You'll Learn:

    • What Jesus means when He says, “Do not worry” about what you’ll eat, drink, or wear
    • The difference between caring for your health and anxiously trying to control it
    • Why the order matters: being with Jesus before doing for Jesus
    • How seeking God first can move you from frantic self-optimization to peaceful, intentional stewardship
    • Why God cares about the details of how you nourish, move, and care for your body
    • How Matthew 6 can help you navigate food and body-image anxiety heading into the holidays
    • Why seeing yourself through God’s eyes is foundational to healing your relationship with food

  • S3. E31. Jesus ate carbs and so can you!

    Diet culture has taught us to fear bread, but Jesus used bread to point us back to Himself. In this episode, we’re continuing our Matthew series with Matthew 12:1–8 and unpacking what the “bread of the Presence” can teach us about food freedom.

    We’ll talk about why carbohydrates don’t need to be feared, how food rules can keep us in bondage, and why following Jesus matters more than following diet culture. Plus, I’m sharing why this message became the heart behind the title of my new book, Jesus Ate Carbs, available for pre-order now!

    • What Matthew 12:1–8 teaches us about food rules, mercy, and freedom
    • The biblical significance of bread and the “bread of the Presence”
    • Why diet culture’s rules around carbohydrates can create unnecessary fear and bondage
    • How Jesus modeled freedom around food instead of fear, guilt, or restriction
    • How eating bread can become an opportunity to remember Jesus and the gospel

  • S3. E30. If eating feels exhausting, Jesus has another way

    If figuring out what, when, and how much to eat feels exhausting, confusing, or all-consuming, something is off. In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him, take His yoke, and receive rest—and that invitation applies to your relationship with food too.

    In this episode, we're talking about what it looks like to stop carrying your health journey alone, allow Jesus to lead, and experience greater freedom and peace around food. Plus, I’m sharing how Jesus Ate Carbs will help you practically bridge the gap between your faith and your health.
    What you'll learn:

    • What Matthew 11:28–30 can teach us about our relationship with food
    • Why food and body image were never meant to feel constantly burdensome
    • What it actually means to be “yoked” with Jesus in your health journey
    • How to recognize when you're partnering with the world's wisdom instead of allowing Jesus to lead
    • How Jesus Ate Carbs can help you get Jesus at the center of your relationship with food

  • S3. E29. Biblical Intuitive Eating: You were created to trust your body

    What if intuitive eating isn’t something you need to learn—but something God designed your body to do from the beginning? In this episode, we’re kicking off our Matthew series with Matthew 11:25–26 and exploring the childlike trust we were created to have with food.

    We’ll talk about how diet culture disconnects us from our God-given hunger and fullness cues, what it looks like to return to the way God designed us to eat, and how my new book, Jesus Ate Carbs, can help you go deeper in healing your relationship with food through a biblical lens.

    • How diet culture can disconnect you from your God-given hunger and fullness cues

  • S3. E28. Wedding Ready or Marriage Ready? Body Image, Comparison & Preparing for Covenant (feat. Nicole Maxson)

    Wedding culture tells women to get “wedding ready”—lose the weight, tone the arms, fit the dress, plan the perfect day, and somehow make it all look effortless. But what if God is inviting us to prepare for something much deeper than a wedding? In this episode, I’m joined by bride-to-be Nicole Maxson for an honest conversation about preparing for marriage, navigating body image and comparison, and resisting the pressure to “sweat for the wedding.”

    • How social media, Pinterest, and other people’s opinions can fuel comparison during wedding planning
    • How to steward your body for God’s glory without slipping into restriction, obsession, or control
    • Why sustainable habits matter more than changing your body for one highly photographed day
    • How to keep Christ, covenant, and gratitude at the center of the bridal season

  • S3. E25. Oh honey, Jesus wouldn't say that: Renew Your Mind with Christian Therapist Anna Adams, ALC
