Send us a text What if peace with food doesn’t start with more rules but with a renewed mind and reordered love? In this episode, we sit on the porch and wrestle with a question many of us face: does focusing on mind renewal mean we get a free pass to eat anything, anytime? As we unpack Romans 12:2, Galatians 5:13, and Colossians 2, we talk about how real freedom grows—not from control or indulgence—but from connection. Together, we explore how intimacy with God reshapes our desires, how grat...

Mind Renewal, Not A Free Pass

Is Overeating a Sin?: A Heart-First Guide to Spirit-Led Eating

Send us a text In this episode, we wrestle with the question, “Is overeating a sin?” and talk about how God isn’t counting bites, but instead inviting our hearts to trust Him more. We look at what Scripture actually says about gluttony, condemnation, and freedom in Christ by drawing from Proverbs, Philippians, Romans 14, and Romans 8. Together, we share real-life moments—like enjoying too much food at a party or stress-eating after a hard day—and show how these don’t have to lead to shame. In...

Numbers Don’t Define Your Worth

Send us a text In this episode, we ask an honest question: is the real issue about losing weight, or about why we want to lose it? We share personal stories—from the stage to the infusion center—about how numbers can become idols, how church culture sometimes mirrors the world’s standards, and how our bodies carry layered stories of illness, medication, and seasons of life. Together, we turn to Scripture for clarity: Romans 12:2 calls for renewal, not conformity; 1 Samuel 16:7 points us back ...

Freedom Through Mind Renewal

Send us a text In this episode, we talk about how real change doesn’t begin with food rules or iron willpower, but with what’s happening in our minds before a craving even hits. We open Romans 12:2, Romans 8, and Colossians 2 to show how renewing the mind reshapes our desires at the root, breaking the old cycle of restriction, rebellion, and shame. Together, we share how God does the lasting work as we choose new thought patterns and take a gentler, steadier path toward freedom. We also get v...

From Duty to Delight

Send us a text What drives your everyday choices? For many of us, particularly when it comes to food and our bodies, the answer involves some combination of guilt, shame, comparison, and a desperate desire to measure up. We’ve spent years caught in cycles of dieting, comparison, and feeling like our bodies—and our choices—were never enough. Guilt and shame often drove what we ate or how we cared for ourselves, and deep down, we carried the heavy belief that God was disappointed in us. In this...

Jesus and the Shame Exchange

Send us a text We’ve both known the heavy weight of shame—the kind that tells you not just that you’ve failed, but that you are a failure. In this episode, we open up about how shame has tried to define us and how God’s Word gives us a different story. Hebrews 12:2 shows us how Jesus “scorned” shame as He faced the cross, counting it insignificant compared to the joy before Him. That perspective gives us hope too. We talk about the different places shame comes from—our own mistakes, wounds fr...

The Breakfast on the Beach: Peter’s Repentance Journey

Send us a text As we reflect on Peter’s story, we see ourselves in his struggle. He promised loyalty to Jesus, only to fail when the pressure rose. That moment of brokenness—when the rooster crowed and Jesus looked at him—reminds us of the times we’ve denied or distanced ourselves from God. But what grips us isn’t Peter’s failure; it’s Jesus’s response. After the resurrection, instead of rebuke, Jesus made breakfast on the shore. With each “Do you love me?” came not condemnation, but restorat...

Beyond Shame: David’s Road to Repentance

Send us a text When we hear the word “repentance,” many of us think of shame, guilt, or fear. But as we explored King David’s story in Psalm 51, we discovered something much different—repentance as an invitation into God’s love. David’s raw prayer after his failure with Bathsheba isn’t self-loathing, but a cry for God’s mercy and renewal. When he asks God to “create a clean heart,” he’s asking for something brand new, the same creative power we see in Genesis. That shows us repentance isn’t a...

God’s Kindness Turns Hearts

Send us a text For years, we carried the heavy misunderstanding that repentance meant shame, guilt, and trying to punish ourselves into change. We even believed we could “hate ourselves into holiness,” but that never worked. Over time, God showed us the truth: repentance is not about condemnation—it’s about kindness and freedom. Romans 2:4 reminds us that it’s His kindness that draws us close, not fear or punishment. We’ve seen firsthand that when we turn back to Him, He runs to meet us like ...

The Great Gratitude Reset: Habits of a Grateful Heart

Send us a text As hosts, we often find ourselves struggling to stay grateful in the middle of life’s demands, just like many of our listeners. In this episode, we share how simple practices helped us redirect our focus from stress to thankfulness. Heidi tells of a family trip filled with illness and rainy weather, yet gratitude turned it into a treasured memory. Christina opens up about caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s, discovering that thankfulness could lift her anxious thoughts and a...

The Great Gratitude Reset: Thankful, Not Stressful

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into what we call The Great Gratitude Reset. We talk about how gratitude isn’t just a nice feeling—it’s a daily practice that changes our minds, our health, and our spiritual outlook. Science is finally confirming what the Bible has been saying all along: gratitude reduces anxiety, strengthens our bodies, helps us rest better, and gives us resilience during tough seasons. We’ve both seen this in our own lives. Christina shares how gratitude keeps her gr...

From Shame To Shalom: Pt 4

Send us a text In this final episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we share a freeing truth—you are not a project to fix, but a masterpiece in progress, fully loved right where you are. We talk about the difference between “project thinking” and surrender, and how God isn’t our impatient project manager but a loving Father who completes His work in His timing. Through breath prayers, visualizations, and personal stories, we invite you to replace shame’s critical voice with the joy-filled son...

From Shame To Shalom: Pt 3

Send us a text In this third episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we’re looking at failure through a new lens—what if it’s not the end of your story, but the soil where growth begins? We know how shame loves to twist our stumbles into statements about our worth. But there’s another voice—the voice of grace—that says, “Let’s start again. I still trust you.” We share how our own mess-ups have become moments of mercy, and how Jesus, like He did with Peter, meets us not with rejection, but rest...

From Shame To Shalom: Pt 2

Send us a text In this second episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we’re digging into those nagging whispers—“you’re too much” or “you’re not enough”—that have shaped so much of how we see ourselves. But what if those labels never came from God? Starting with His question in Genesis 3:11, “Who told you that…?” we invite you to reflect with us on the origin of shame and how to gently dismantle it. Through our own stories and Scripture, we discover that we’re not broken projects—we’re God’s p...

From body image struggles to deeply rooted family messages, we share our own stories and trace the roots of shame all the way back to the Garden of Eden. But we don’t stop there—together, we explore the hope that comes when we realize Jesus carried not just our sin, but our shame too. This episode isn’t just about identifying the ...

Beyond Feelings: Finding True Motivation

Send us a text Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I just don’t feel like it,” even when something really matters? We have too. In this episode, Heidi shares a game-changing realization: if we wait for motivation to magically show up, we might stay stuck. But when we make choices based on our values—especially our identity in Christ—something shifts. We explore what it means to stop letting feelings drive the bus and start acting from a place that’s rooted and true. This conversation gets ...

The Real Thing: Pt.3

Send us a text In this final episode of our three-part series The Real Thing, we talk about something we often resist—God’s holy disruptions. Using the story of Zacchaeus, we explore how Jesus didn’t just stop by for a visit, but invited him into something lasting. The word used is meno—to abide—and it changes everything. This wasn’t about tweaking a few behaviors; it was an invitation to step out of hiding and into real relationship. This was a difficult conversation to have. We share honest...

The Real Thing: Pt.2

Send us a text In Part 2 of our three-part series The Real Thing, we talk about the "almosts"—those things we turn to for comfort that feel close to peace but never quite satisfy. Whether it’s late-night snacks, comparison, or performance, we’ve both reached for substitutes that ultimately leave us thirsty. Drawing from Jeremiah 2:13 and Isaiah 44, we unpack the imagery of broken cisterns and burned-out ashes, asking: Why do we keep trying to feed on what no longer gives life? This conversati...

The Real Thing: Pt.1

Send us a text In this first episode of our new series, The Real Thing, we confront a subtle but powerful lie many of us have believed: that following Jesus means managing our lives better. From color-coded binders to constant striving, we’ve both fallen into the trap of believing that more control equals more freedom. But Jesus didn’t come to help us manage our sin—He came to give us life to the full. That doesn’t mean a perfect life, but a deep, soul-satisfying connection with Him that begi...

What Are You Really Thirsting For?

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into the question, “What am I truly thirsting for?” We open a new series focused on caring for our bodies as sacred spaces, not problems to fix. Shifting our mindset in this way reshapes how we respond to emotional eating, self-image, and daily struggles. Drawing from Scripture, we reflect on the Hebrew idea of "thirst"—a deep, soul-level longing—and how only God's presence can satisfy that ache. Like the deer in Psalm 42, our hearts chase after true re...
