BODY Series: Why Should We Care About Our Body?

Body Series: Eating Clean

In this episode, we continue our series on healthy living as I share my perspective on literal clean eating, straight from Scripture. Drawing from my background with a Master’s in Biblical Studies and training in holistic nutrition, we’ll look at what the Bible says about clean and unclean foods, why it still matters today, and how God’s original design is still important!

Body Series: Eat God-Made Foods The Way He Intended

The third Biblical principle for healthy living is to eat clean, God-Made foods the way He intended. In this episode, we’re focusing on the "God-made" part of that principle- what it means to eat the foods God designed for our nourishment and how to begin making that shift in a practical, sustainable way. You’ll learn how to identify these foods, why they matter for your health and faith journey, and how to become a label-reading detective when it comes to ingredients. Next time, we’ll dive into what it really means to eat clean, but first, let’s lay the foundation by getting back to God’s original design for food.

Body Series: Ask God & Mind Control

The foundational steps required for lasting transformation in your health are (1) ASK GOD and (2) MIND CONTROL. (1) Ask God- Maybe it’s time to stop trying to do it all in your own strength and instead ask God for help. (2) Mind Control- Often, the struggle with food has more to do with the mind than the actual food. Learn how to take captive of every thought and make it obedient to the Word of God.

BODY Series: Why Should We Care About Our Body?

Today, I want to go through why we should care about our physical bodies as followers of Christ.  #1 We are fearfully and wonderfully made: God made our bodies, and our bodies reflect His glory (Genesis 1:27, 31; Psalm 139:13–14; Job 10:11). #2 Our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit: God cares about His temple, and we are called to take care of it (1 Corinthians 3:16–17; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20; 2 Corinthians 6:16; Romans 8:11). #3 We are called to present our bodies as a living sacrifice: God calls us to offer our bodies to Him and to resist idleness (Romans 12:1; 1 Corinthians 10:31; Proverbs 21:25; 2 Thessalonians 3:10; Proverbs 15:19; Proverbs 12:11). #4 Do Not Let Sin Reign in Your Body: God calls us to self-control and holiness (Romans 6:12; Proverbs 23:2; 1 Corinthians 9:27; Proverbs 23:20; Proverbs 25:16; Proverbs 25:28; Philippians 3:19).

BODY Series: My Story

Hi! Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be diving into how Scripture can transform our bodies! Today, I’m sharing my own story about how I tried just about every diet out there, only to end up more frustrated and discouraged. But then I discovered that the best “diet” wasn’t hidden in a new trend…it was right in front of me the whole time, in God’s Word.
