Have you ever thought, “Why can’t I just get over this food thing already?” You’re not alone—I’ve been there too. In this honest conversation, we unpack why making peace with food and your body can feel so frustratingly out of reach. Christina and I share our personal journeys, from restrictive diets in our teens to obsessing over “good” and “bad” foods, and how early experiences shaped the way we view food and ourselves. It’s a layered struggle that many people face, and there’s so much more behind it than just willpower.

We dig into how the brain forms patterns around control and comfort, and how real change starts by addressing our thoughts, not just our behaviors. With insights from both neuroscience and Scripture—like Jesus’ reminder to “clean the inside of the cup first”—we explore what healing can truly look like. You’re not broken or weak; there’s a path forward grounded in gratitude, truth, and community. No matter how long you’ve wrestled with this, there is real hope for freedom and peace—with food, with your body, and with yourself.

Can we truly make peace with food and our bodies? After years of diet culture, food rules, and body shame, the question feels almost too hopeful to ask. But the answer is a resounding yes—and it's what God wants for us.

In this final episode of our three-part series "The Truth About Peaceful Eating: What No One Told Us," we unpack a revolutionary truth: peace doesn't wait for you at the end of a perfect journey; peace meets you on the way. While the world tells us to try harder and fix ourselves, the gospel offers something radically different—you're already loved, already enough, already free.

Ready to experience this freedom? Join our new class "Transforming Grace: Discovering Peaceful Eating" starting this June, where we'll walk this journey together with practical tools, teaching, and community support.

In part two of our special series "The Truth About Peaceful Eating: What No One Told Us," we dive deep into how our thoughts shape our relationship with food more profoundly than any diet plan ever could.

For years, many of us have exhausted ourselves trying to change our behavior around food through increasingly complex rules and restrictions. We've blamed ourselves for lacking willpower when these approaches inevitably fail. But what if the problem was never our discipline or determination? What if we've been believing the wrong story all along?

Be sure to join us for this important conversation and discover why mind renewal might be the missing piece you've been searching for all along.

Mind renewal was never meant to be complicated, exhausting, or just another spiritual checklist. Yet many believers have turned this life-giving practice into legalism, self-help, or an overwhelming to-do list, missing its true power. Instead of striving to earn God's favor through mental exercises, we are invited into something far greater—alignment with God's perspective, bringing peace rather than pressure.

True mind renewal refreshes the soul rather than depleting it. It’s about thinking God’s thoughts after Him, allowing His Word and Spirit to transform us. When we stop striving and simply receive the mind of Christ, we experience a gift, not a burden—a daily invitation into God’s presence that brings joy, contentment, and lasting change. Join us for this wonderfully freeing episode!

Have you ever beaten yourself up after failing, believing harsh self-criticism would lead to positive change? The "Look and Learn" tool is meant for mind renewal, yet many have turned it into another form of self-punishment. Instead of viewing failure through a lens of shame, Scripture invites us to embrace God's grace. Romans 8:1 reminds us there is no condemnation for those in Christ, and Psalm 103:12 assures us that our transgressions are removed as far as the east is from the west. God isn't standing at a distance in disappointment—He draws near with compassion and restoration.

When practiced as intended, Look and Learn becomes grace in motion, strengthening intimacy with God rather than pushing Him away. It shifts our perspective from self-rejection to redemption, helping us replace lies with life-giving truth. Every failure becomes a seed for growth, ensuring nothing is wasted in God's economy. Instead of running to condemnation, run to grace. Ask what God wants to reveal, and let this powerful tool guide you into freedom, intimacy, and transformation. Ready to change how you handle failure? Listen now and discover the true meaning of Look and Learn.

When life feels anything but good, can we truly trust God's faithfulness? In this episode, we explore that question with honesty, acknowledging the real tension between intellectually knowing God is faithful and emotionally struggling to feel it. Drawing from Psalm 88, we find comfort in knowing that even biblical writers wrestled with doubt. We also share personalized Scripture prayers that affirm God's unchanging character and introduce the powerful "You Were Faithful When" mind renewal tool. This simple practice helps us recall specific moments of God's faithfulness, declaring: "You were faithful then, and You will be faithful now."
