Jesus or the Enemy | Who's Driving Your Health?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394029/fan_mail/new] What is really driving your choices right now. Fear or love? In this episode, I break down the two operating systems so many of us are living from. Fear or love. We talk about how fear distorts food, movement, rest, control, comfort, and even the way we try to steward our health. We also walk through why counterfeit comfort never satisfies, how fear can hide underneath seemingly “good” behaviors, and what it looks like to actually move from love instead. If you have felt stuck in overeating, under-moving, fear of failure, fear of rejection, control, burnout, or the constant pressure to hold everything together, this episode will help you get underneath the behavior and ask what root it is really coming from.

Do You Really Believe Jesus Can Heal YOU?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394029/fan_mail/new] In this episode, I go into the deeper issue behind healing, belief, and the agreements we make with hopelessness without even realizing it. We talk about how self-identity, surrender, stewardship, and biblical belief all shape the way we live, pray, and respond when we are hurting. We also walk through why belief is more than mental agreement, how faith and healing work together, and why aligning your actions with what you say you believe matters so much.  If you have felt stuck in fear, chronic struggle, self-defeating language, or hopelessness, this episode will challenge you to stop agreeing with lies and start living in agreement with God’s truth.  Connect With Us Free Temple Keeper Guide: https://thetemplekeepers.com/guide [https://thetemplekeepers.com/guide] Temple Keeper Academy: https://thetemplekeepers.com/online-academy [https://thetemplekeepers.com/online-academy] Apply for 1-on-1 Coaching: https://thetemplekeepers.com/one-on-one-coaching [https://thetemplekeepers.com/one-on-one-coaching] Instagram (Matthew): https://www.instagram.com/godfoodguy/ [https://www.instagram.com/godfoodguy/] Instagram (Leah): https://www.instagram.com/leah.headden/ [https://www.instagram.com/leah.headden/] Website: https://thetemplekeepers.com/ [https://thetemplekeepers.com/] Chapters 00:00 Understanding Healing and Belief 05:46 The Power of Agreements and Self-Identity 06:14 Understanding Biblical Belief 08:51 Faith and Healing: A Deeper Look 13:03 The Role of Faith in Healing 17:04 Surrender and Stewardship in Healing 21:30 Aligning Actions with Belief 25:41 Confronting Hopelessness and Embracing Healing 28:41 The Power of Prayer and Affirmation  #healing  #faith  #christianliving Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394029/support]

In this episode, I unpacks the biblical warning of surfeiting and how overeating, overconsumption, cravings, stress, and self-focus can weigh down both the body and the spirit. I walks through the physiological side of overeating, the emotional and spiritual roots behind cravings, and the practical path back to God’s design through nourishment, movement, fasting, and surrender. If you have felt stuck in cycles of overeating, brain fog, stress eating, insulin resistance, or spiritual heaviness, this message will help you see the root more clearly.

Retraining Your Reactions God’s Way | Feelings Are Real. But They Are Not Instructions

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394029/fan_mail/new] What if the reason you keep going back to the same habits is not weakness, but training? In this episode, I unpack the connection between behavioral psychology, neuroplasticity, spiritual warfare, and everyday obedience. I explains why stress eating, scrolling, avoidance, and other automatic reactions often feel so natural, how those patterns get trained into the brain, and why real freedom requires retraining your reactions instead of just trying harder. This is a powerful conversation on feelings, obedience, extinction bursts, perseverance, naming emotions, and surrendering to God for true transformation.  Connect With Us Free Temple Keeper Guide: https://thetemplekeepers.com/guide [https://thetemplekeepers.com/guide] Temple Keeper Academy: https://thetemplekeepers.com/online-academy [https://thetemplekeepers.com/online-academy] Apply for 1-on-1 Coaching: https://thetemplekeepers.com/one-on-one-coaching [https://thetemplekeepers.com/one-on-one-coaching] Instagram (Matthew): https://www.instagram.com/godfoodguy/ [https://www.instagram.com/godfoodguy/] Instagram (Leah): https://www.instagram.com/leah.headden/ [https://www.instagram.com/leah.headden/] Website: https://thetemplekeepers.com/ [https://thetemplekeepers.com/] Chapters 00:00 Understanding Behavioral Psychology and Spirituality 05:10 The Science of Habits and Neuroplasticity 09:05 Training for Godliness: A Deeper Dive 14:03 The Struggle of Change and the Extinction Burst 18:11 The Power of Perseverance 19:42 Recognizing and Naming Emotions 21:27 Creating New Pathways for Change 27:04 The Journey of Transformation 29:23 Surrendering to God for True Freedom Tags behavioral psychology, Christian habits, neuroplasticity, retraining your brain, feelings are real but not instructions, emotional eating, stress eating, Christian mindset, spiritual warfare, training for godliness, extinction burst, take every thought captive, renewing your mind, obedience to God, Christian self control, Temple Keepers Podcast, Matthew Headden, identity in Christ, breaking bad habits, Christian growth, perseverance, freedom in Christ Hashtags #ChristianMindset #BehavioralPsychology #FreedomInChrist Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394029/support]

Overcoming the All or Nothing Mindset | The Floor and the Full

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394029/fan_mail/new] If you struggle with the All or Nothing mindset, this episode will change your life. In this episode, I break down why one slip can turn into a full spiral, why perfectionism is arrogant and unbiblical, and why God never asked you to be perfect. He asked you to be faithful. I talk about the shame cycle behind all-or-nothing thinking, the psychological trap that keeps people stuck, and the simple framework of the floor and the full that helps you build consistency without living in guilt, pressure, or self-condemnation. If you are tired of starting over, blowing it after one cookie, and swinging back and forth between extremes, this episode will help you choose faithfulness over flawlessness and finally build momentum that lasts.  Connect With Us Understanding your Cravings and Overcoming them: https://thetemplekeepers.com/s [https://thetemplekeepers.com/online-academy]ugar Temple Keeper Academy: https://thetemplekeepers.com/online-academy [https://thetemplekeepers.com/online-academy] Apply for 1-on-1 Coaching: https://thetemplekeepers.com/one-on-one-coaching [https://thetemplekeepers.com/one-on-one-coaching] Instagram (Matthew): https://www.instagram.com/godfoodguy/ [https://www.instagram.com/godfoodguy/] Instagram (Leah): https://www.instagram.com/leah.headden/ [https://www.instagram.com/leah.headden/] Website: https://thetemplekeepers.com/ [https://thetemplekeepers.com/] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394029/support]
