Many religions have standards about what can and can't be consumed. Collectively, the world knows that there something important about what eat. In this episode, we're going to explore that. Read more »

This #TestimonyTuesday I wanted to share an experience I had as a child that has deeply shaped my views as a teenager and an adult. Sometimes God swoops in Himself to make a miracle happen, but sometimes, He calls on us to do the foot work. We go through experiences help us learn and to become better people, so we be ready when He calls. This testimony may not have ended with a tidy fix for the issue as a whole, but it did lead me to join the fi… Read more »

Eating Herbs/Vegetables vs. Eating 'All Things' 2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. Romans 14:2-3 KJV Introduction I started the You Are What You Eat Series a long time ago and for some reason, I never finished it. I believe I became tied up with life, probab… Read more »

Would you rather is a fun game to play, particularly when getting to know someone. A person is asked to choose between two things of equal desiring (or not desiring)—making it hard to decide and opening dialogue as to why the person chooses the option they choose. Recently I stumbled across several versions of "Would You Rather?: Bible Edition" and found the questions quite intriguing. I've decided to answer … Read more »

Last week I had this crazy idea and was planning to take matters into my own hands. God showed Himself without me even asking and brought me my heart's desire: a mango so I could plant a mango tree. 😂 It was a beautiful reminder that He hears everything and cares about the littlest things. What has He done for you lately? Read more »

Is it odd that the only thing in life we can control is our self, but that's one of the toughest things to do? The final Fruit of the Spirit is Self Control (or Temperance). I called up published author and finance blogger GirlTalkWithFo to talk about this fruit. About Fo: Fo has written two books ("They That Wait" and "Dump Debt & Build Bank: The Everyday Chick’s Guide to Money") and has her own podcast, GirlTalkW… Read more »

If you can't control yourself with food, how can you control anything else in life? Fasting is an integral part of our walk with Christ, and an opportunity to grow. People don't usually associate fasting with Christianity, but Jesus expects us to fast! I tried out the Daniel Fast, so I wanted to share with you my experience with this fast. Read more »

Can I just be the first to say that cacao and cocoa have too many of the same letters in almost the same place to be different words. When you add in the fact that they're almost the same thing, it's like having identical twins named Alex and Alix—no one can figure out the difference! Supposedly one is good for you, and the other may or may not be good for you (this is what I hear most often)? They both have something to do with chocolat… Read more »

God calls us to be generous and not be greedy. We are not to take everything for ourselves, but meant to give freely to those in need. #LoveYourNeighbor 19 “When you reap the harvest in your field, and you forget a sheaf in the field, do not go back to get it. It is to be left for the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you knock down the fruit f… Read more »

Isaiah 66 is pretty simple to understand. Once you accept it, you realize unclean meats will be unclean at the end of the world, so they must be unclean now too. Isaiah 66:3, 17 3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and thei… Read more »

I'm excited to announce, the PSALMS to God podcast is finally here. Find out why I chose a bread metaphor, how that relates to my obsession with food, and what that's got to do with...well, anything. 1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, c… Read more »

Another famous passage people use to justify eating clean meats is 1 Timothy 4:1-7. At first glance it seems to do just that, but once you add context to is that interpretation falls apart. So, let's add some context. Abstaining from Meats is False Doctrine? 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having… Read more »

In Acts 10, Peter has a dream about eating unclean food. Some people use this to justify eating unclean meat, but in the Bible a dream is rarely what it seems. In every case where God gives people a vision, the vision is interpreted elsewhere in the text. Similarly, Peter's vision is explained later in the chapter. As it turns out, Peter was actually being told to accept Gentiles, not to consume unclean meats. Kill and Eat? 12 Wherein were all … Read more »
