What if the reason your health journey feels frustrating… isn’t your discipline—but your direction?

In this powerful Holy Week conversation, I sit down with Christian dietitian and life coach Madison Perron to unpack what it really means to steward your body for the glory of God—not from control, but from surrender.

We’re diving deep into the spiritual root of health struggles, the role of pride vs. humility, and how to actually partner with the Holy Spirit in your wellness journey.

“God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.” — Genesis 1:31 Before moving on, God paused. He looked. He declared it good. So why do we struggle to do the same?

In this episode, we’re talking about negativity bias — our brain’s tendency to fixate on what’s wrong — and how it impacts our relationship with food, our bodies, and our progress.

"Eating clean" may sound healthy and righteous... but is this language leading to more guilt and shame, harming our relationship with food?

In Acts 10, Peter has a vision where God tells him, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” While this passage carries powerful implications about inclusion and the Gospel, it also dismantles something many of us still cling to today: labeling food as morally good or bad.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the subtle danger of “clean eating” language — and how it may be harming your relationship with food more than helping it.

In John 5, Jesus heals a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years — and then tells him to do something shocking: “Pick up your mat and walk.” The problem? It was unlawful to carry your mat on the Sabbath.

Why would Jesus ask him to break a religious rule? Because obedience to Christ will always matter more than man-made regulations.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how following Jesus may challenge your food rules — the ones that once made you feel safe. Whether it’s “no carbs after 7,” tracking everything you eat, or believing you have to earn your food through exercise, the Holy Spirit may gently invite you to do something different.

And that invitation can feel uncomfortable. But freedom often does. If you’ve ever felt tension between your faith and your food rules, this episode will help you discern the difference between Spirit-led conviction and fear-based restriction.

If you’ve ever felt like a “bad Christian” because you can’t stick to a Bible plan… if your morning routine starts strong and fizzles out… if you feel frustrated with your brain and ashamed of your inconsistency — this episode is for you. We cover how to manage ADHD as a Christian, so you can partner with God instead of fighting your brain!

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9

Today I’m joined by Caroline Falwell, who helps Christians navigate ADHD through a faith-based lens. We talk about what it looks like to stop fighting your brain and start partnering with God in it.

ADHD isn’t a spiritual failure. It’s not a lack of discipline. And it’s certainly not proof that you love Jesus less. What if it’s actually an invitation to deeper dependence?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why ADHD can actually increase your dependence on God (and why that’s a gift)
• How to release shame around inconsistent quiet times
• Practical ADHD-friendly morning routine tips
• What to do when you forget to eat (especially on medication)
• Why all-or-nothing thinking is keeping you stuck
• A flexible “component meal prep” idea for ADHD brains
• How to create proximity to your priorities (without perfectionism)
• The difference between consistency and rhythm
• How to invite God into your day beyond a 20-minute devotional
• Why external accountability can be a game-changer

This conversation is full of grace, humility, and practical tools you can start using immediately.

If you’re struggling to nourish your body consistently, manage cravings, or feel stuck in all-or-nothing thinking around food, I would love to support you.

When we call eating certain foods “cheating,” we may think it’s harmless—but Scripture shows us that cheating and unfaithfulness are never neutral. Jesus calls us to faithfulness of heart, not just behavior, and that includes how we relate to our bodies.

In this episode, we explore why “cheat day” language subtly reinforces shame, secrecy, and self-betrayal—and how God invites us into a more integrated, honest, and life-giving way of eating.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

If you’re ready to step out of the restrict–rebel cycle and into a more faithful, freeing approach to eating, I’d love to walk with you.

If you always want a lil sweet treat... this episode is for you! This episode will help you decode your cravings (without shame)!

Jesus reminds us that we do not live on bread alone—but on every word that comes from God (Matthew 4:3-4). That truth matters not only for our spiritual lives, but also for how we understand our bodies. Sometimes, even after a full meal, we still crave something sweet—and that doesn’t mean we’ve failed or lacked self-control. Often, it means something deeper (at a soul-level) is asking for attention.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

If you want help learning how to listen to your body while staying rooted in Scripture, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

YAYYY Season 3 of the podcast is HERE! And we are recording in person!! God is so good! I've missed y'all!

At the start of the year, it’s tempting to rush toward quick fixes—fast results, immediate change, and visible progress. But Scripture shows us that God is far more concerned with how something is built than how quickly it appears. In 2 Kings 12, we see the careful restoration of the temple using skilled workers and sturdy materials—investments meant to last. And Isaiah reminds us that what springs up quickly without deep roots often ends in grief.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

If you’re tired of starting over and want to pursue healing in a way that honors both your body and your faith, I’d love to support you.

What happens when the very rules meant to keep you “safe” are actually keeping you stuck?

In today’s powerful guest episode, Abbie is joined by Madison Cacciola CPT, a former macro tracker, personal trainer, and dear client, who vulnerably shares her journey from binge eating, food rules, and control to true food freedom in Christ.

Madison opens up about why tracking felt necessary—how rules gave her a false sense of safety after struggling with binge eating—and why trusting her hunger and body felt terrifying. She shares what it looked like to walk through the messy middle of intuitive eating, surrender control daily, and confront the fear that letting go would lead to failure.

Together, Abbie and Madison unpack:

Why food rules often feel safer than freedom after binge eating

How macro tracking can become an idol disguised as discipline

The fear of weight gain—and what happened when it actually occurred

Why intuitive eating is not a “free-for-all,” but a Spirit-led practice

How shame entered the moment Madison saw the number on the scale—and the biblical parallel that changed everything

Why obedience sometimes feels uncomfortable—but always leads to freedom

The difference between striving for weight loss and striving for healing

How surrendering food control deepened Madison’s intimacy with God

Why freedom is worth the cost, even when the journey feels hard

This episode is honest, emotional, deeply biblical, and full of hope for anyone who feels trapped by food rules, tracking, binge eating, or fear of losing control.

If you’re in the middle—unsure whether to let go, scared of what might happen, and longing for real peace—this conversation is for you!

As we enter a new year and many churches begin prayer and fasting seasons, it’s important to pause and ask an honest question: Is this fast actually drawing me closer to Jesus—or pulling my focus toward food, weight, and control?

In today’s episode, Abbie unpacks what Scripture really teaches about fasting—especially for those healing their relationship with food. This conversation is not anti-fasting; Jesus clearly says “when you fast.” But it is pro-discernment, pro-healing, and deeply rooted in biblical truth.

If fasting pulls your eyes off of Jesus and onto your body, your weight, or food control, it is no longer biblical fasting—it’s dieting with spiritual language.

Using Matthew 6:16–18 and other key passages, we explore how diet culture can subtly hijack spiritual practices (especially in January), how to examine our motives with compassion rather than condemnation, and how obedience may look different in different seasons.

You’ll learn:

What biblical fasting is for (and what it is not)

Why prayer is essential for any true fast

How diet culture distorts fasting—especially at the start of the year

Why fasting from food may not be what God is inviting you into right now

Alternative fasts that can actually support healing (body checking, the scale, tracking, comparison, distraction)

Discernment questions to pray through before starting a fast

How to fast in a way that produces peace, humility, and intimacy with God—not anxiety and striving

If you’ve ever felt confused, pressured, or spiritually conflicted during fasting seasons, this episode offers biblical clarity, gentle guardrails, and freedom.
