  • Summary

  • Today's episode focuses on self control, gluttony, overindulgence and creating idols out of food and our bodies. It's a topic that not many people care to talk about because it makes us uncomfortable at times. It requires us to dig deep and do some serious soul searching as to how and why we do some of the things we do. 1Timothy4:8 says "For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come." We are going to get a little uncomfortable and try to find our true WHY behind seeking better physical health.

    1Corinthians6:19-20 says, our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit who is in us and to therefore glorify and honor God with our bodies, but on the other hand, we have become so consumed with our bodies as a society, what we put in them, what we don’t, how much we exercise or how much we don’t, what we look like, who we want to look like— that it’s actually doing us more harm than good, both physically and spiritually.
