Reflections on food, faith, and freedom — grace instead of guilt, adding instead of subtracting. The same teaching I send to my inbox, gathered here to read any time.
A full, grace-first talk on food, body and health for Christian women. Identity in Christ, breaking the diet cycle, Add, Don't Subtract, the HALT check, Christ-sourced forgiveness — and the invitation to receive, then live it. Watch the whole thing, with chapters.
Watch the talk →Something feels off — the energy, the fit of things, the biscuit-tin evenings. And right on cue comes the pull: maybe I just need a new plan. Why the answer is almost never a diet, and where to take the "off" instead.
Read →You stand in front of the mirror and in three seconds the verdict is in. But what if how do I look? is the wrong question? An ornament exists to be looked at; an instrument exists to be used — and Scripture never once treats your body as an ornament.
Read →The first two days were beautiful — and then Wednesday happened. Why the slip was never the failure, how the verdict afterward turns one bad day into the same old cycle, and what grace actually does with a slip. Excellence can have a bad Wednesday. Perfection can't.
Read →The 4 p.m. fridge. The 9 p.m. raid. A thirty-second practice for the moment your hand reaches before your mind has caught up with why — and why the small gap between feeling and reach is sacred ground.
Read →The question is never what should I take off the table? God's economy has always been addition — He adds grace, love, forgiveness. The framework behind almost everything I teach, and why your body settles when it's fed instead of policed.
Read →How you eat shapes your body almost as powerfully as what you eat. Almost every meal in the Bible is a table meal — and a small weekly practice for tasting, slowing, and letting the stop arrive.
Read →Emotional eating was never a character flaw or a discipline problem. It's the visible tip of an iceberg. Why willpower keeps failing you — and the passive verb in Romans 12 that changes the whole assignment.
Read →Food makes a wonderful guest at the table, but a terrible doctor for the soul. The thirty-second Pause & Pray (HALT) check for the moment you reach for the fridge — and how to build a non-food toolbox for your heart.
Read →After thirteen years as a dietitian, the hard truth: most women don't fail for lack of willpower. They fail because no one tended the wound underneath — the one diet culture keeps mistaking for a weight problem.
