March 31, 2026
One in four of us—perhaps even more—have a messy relationship with our bodies as well as with food. What if a struggle with food and our bodies is not a failure, but a place Jesus longs to meet us with mercy? In this tender conversation, deeper stories beneath diet culture are gently uncovered, inviting compassion, healing, and hope. Nothing in our story is beyond His care. Come and begin to receive a kinder way forward. This is Part 1 of a 2-part conversation. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Isaiah 61:1 (NIV) – The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. Luke 4:18 (NIV) – The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free. Song of Songs 2:14 (NIV) – My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NIV) – I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. …..

It’s incredibly orienting to discover that when we say “yes” to Jesus, we are now part of a great campaign—one that’s already in motion—to help overthrow evil, restore the human heart, and fix God’s universe.
