Hey Friend, Sometimes we don't know the water we're swimming in. We know something is off, but we can't quite name it.

Hey Friend, I am VERY excited for this episode because in it I interview the author of a book I have been wanting to exist for a long time.

We address some of the issues that exist in the church, in the United States, as well as some new perspective on the gift of food that God has given us. I encourage you to listen the whole way throu...

Hey Friend, When you want to lose weight, is your first inclination to cut out certain foods altogether? To start eating significantly less to the point where you're always hungry?

In any of those cases, I imagine you also want to know WHAT to eat in order to get results. I'm unpacking all of that today along with an example of what I eat in on an average day. Be blessed!

Hey Friend, Believe it or not, research has found that the top predictor of longevity and your propensity to chronic disease is the amount of skeletal muscle you have. I am doing this episode, one because I think the info is SUPER important for creating sustainable life long health, but also because I’m trying to amp myself up to get more consistent with my muscle building workouts.

Hey Friend, This week is an extremely important week as it is Holy Week. Yesterday was Palm Sunday and each day this week leads up to Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and eventually, Resurrection Day - or Easter as many of us know it to be.

Hey Friend, For a few episodes now, I've been referring back to episode 13 where I talk about Leviticus 11 and the old testament food laws. Well, here it is again with a few minor adjustments. There's just something about taking a misunderstood, seemingly boring passage and revealing the insight and wisdom it holds. I think you'll be surprised how much you learn about food labels from Old testament law! Contrary to popular belief, God's law isn't just a bunch of inapplicable rituals from way bac...

Hey Friend, We’ve all been there. You suddenly have an urge to eat a specific food you are specifically trying to avoid because you know once you’ve had one bite, you’ll have 10 more. And despite your efforts to think and talking yourself out of it, before you know it, you’ve already consumed more than you’d want and you feel miserable physically and you’re already beating yourself up. Sometimes it happens even without thinking and it’s not until you’re in the middle of eating it that you realiz...

Hey Friend, I haven't talked about today's topic in a little bit. It's actually a huge drive for why I do this. I believe wholeheartedly that God cares deeply about our health and that it's not a secondary aspect of our walk with the Lord. When we aren't intentionally caring for our physical well being - along with spiritual, emotional, and mental - we are metaphorically cutting off our right leg when it comes to having the full capacity to be and do all that God has called us to do. After liste...
