Have we become the walking dead in the Church?
In this eye-opening 30-minute episode, Sersie Blue pulls back the veil on a quiet epidemic. Many Christians are walking in spiritual truth, but physically asleep. The culprit? Toxic food! It’s leaving us with high blood pressure, obesity, mental fog, and chronic fatigue, even as we lift our hands in worship and cry out for revival.
Sersie shares her wake-up call from living with high blood pressure and mental fog to experiencing healing and clarity through the Daniel Fast. She reveals how what’s on our plate may be keeping us from fully stepping into our purpose.
This isn't just about eating better; this is about being set free. Because the Holy Spirit doesn’t just want to renew your spirit, He wants to resurrect your energy, your clarity, and your health. It's time to stop living like zombies and rise into vibrant, obedient, Spirit-led living.
Romans 12:2
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."
How processed food creates a “zombie-like” state, spiritually foggy, physically drained
Why our health struggles are not just physical but deeply spiritual
Sersie’s personal story of breaking free from the food coma through the Daniel Fast
How the Holy Spirit partners with us to break strongholds, even in our eating habits
Why changing what you eat is a radical act of worship and warfare
