Descripción

What if the way you think about your body isn’t just “physical,” but deeply spiritual too? In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, KB sits down with author Ashley Nicole Hoover (At Home in Your Body) for a gospel-centered conversation about body image, diet culture, and the constant “noise” women face from marketing and social media. They talk about why Christian women can know the truth yet still feel at war with their bodies, how to tell the difference between stewarding your body and striving to control it, and what biblical self-control looks like without slipping into obsession. You’ll also hear KB’s powerful testimony of how an unexpected health crisis exposed fitness as an idol—and how surrender brought real peace.

She opens up about years of unconscious fault-finding rooted in unworthiness, the surprising clarity that came from taking the "How We Love" quiz, and what a simple Florida getaway revealed about the power of out-serving your spouse. KB also shares exciting updates about being on baby watch as a soon-to-be grandma, her new faith-aligned wellness business Perga, her growing personal training work, and the May memory verse from 2 Corinthians 5:21.

True Repentance: How a Change of Mind Leads to a Change of Action

In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, host KB dives deep into one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Christian faith, repentance. Drawing on biblical truth from the Old and New Testaments, KB unpacks what repentance truly means (hint: it's more than just feeling bad about your sins), exploring how a genuine change of mind leads to a radical change of action. From Peter's sermon at Pentecost to the transformative story of Zacchaeus, KB walks listeners through the four key elements of true biblical repentance and its inseparable connection to salvation, faith, and God's grace which is challenging each of us to examine where unrepentant sin may still have a hold in our own lives.

Do Better: How One Young Widow Is Turning Devastating Loss Into a Legacy of Hope

In this powerful testimony episode, KB sits down with Cassidy Meyers — a young widow, toddler mom, and advocate who lost her husband Jared unexpectedly to an undiagnosed heart condition in March 2024, just ten months after the birth of their son Griffin. Cassidy opens up about navigating sudden loss at 28, rediscovering her identity, and how grief led her back to faith. She shares how she founded the Jared Myers Legacy Foundation — raising over $14,000 in its first year — and the Young Widows Group, a rapidly growing support community for women experiencing the unimaginable. From keeping Jared's memory alive through bedtime songs and meaningful traditions, to finding the courage to embrace a "chapter two," Cassidy's story is a stunning reminder that God's plans are bigger than our pain, rooted in her beloved verse, Jeremiah 29:11. This episode serves as both an informative guide to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, encouraging listeners to embark on their journeys with renewed vigor and compassion.
