The pain and hurt that we hold onto from our past prevents us from moving forward. We can't be inline with Christ as long as we continue to let our past rule our present. God meets us in the present moment and tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
Freedom comes from faith and faith comes from surrendering to God and trusting that we are a new creation in Christ. Today, I share how you can let go of the false lies you have chosen to believe about yourself, to be released from the bondage of your past and how to fight off the enemy who seeks to kill and destroy in order to receive healing from food and body image issues. You can have freedom! You deserve to live the life God has waiting for you!

To struggle with weight and body image does not make you a freak or unsuccessful. It makes you human. On todays podcast I talk bout the natural temptation to be discontent with your body and how to trust that Jesus is the world's ultimate fashion designer. Your beauty exceeds any worldly standard. Stay focused on God and your self worth will be energized to it's full occupation again. You were born for beauty. Do not be afraid to exhibit that truth.

Every day we are bombarded with images and messages that our weight is our worth. The world tells us that how we eat signals whether we are a "good" or "bad" person. Whether we are someone who cares about our "health" or are too "lazy" to give a darn. Though we seek to be free from these lies and images and walk with God on a path towards healing, we struggle. We fail ourselves and in the process we lose our faith, our trust that God will heal our obsession with what we eat and how we look. In today's episode I focus on Romans 12:2, I teach how to not conform to the beauty standards of the world and ways you can go deeper in your trust with God surrounding your struggles so that you may experience more of His "good", "pleasing" and "perfect" will in your life.

Negative patterns and false beliefs about ourselves often have us making choices that tear us down rather then lift us up spiritually. These choices come from our flesh and are not driven from the light of the Spirit. They often are made in order to help us hide or feel accepted by the world. In the realm of God's holiness, they only keep us further from our growth. Romans reminds us that when we look to the Spirit we act in accordance with it. On today's episode, I share how to use a practical approach to staying in touch with the Spirit. I discuss how to recognize natural/human desires vs. spiritual ones surrounding food and weight and how to empower one's self with the ability to avoid sinful pitfalls that blindside.

People often get confused about what it really means to not diet. They think it means giving up on their bodies, not being active, no longer caring about health. They believe that dieting is the only way to stay on top of their eating, be healthier and refrain from bingeing. On today's episode, I set the record straight on what a diet free life-style really looks like. I get clear on how you can give up dieting and still be happy, healthy and free from food obsession. I also share how Jesus gives us the ability to release food's power over us through a non-diet approach to life and ways that you can take back control of positive food habits in a way that serves Christ and not the world.

So often we do the sin we do not want to do even though we know it is not good. Part of this is because the sin has become a negative pattern in our life. From binges every three days to that daily stop at the gas station for a few candy bars, we participate in our patterns like clockwork. In order to break down our negative patterns, we must begin to create healthier ones. Part of that is by focusing on who we are in Christ, owning our worth through him and putting away the self doubt that draws us to poor food choices.

In this episode I talk about how food obsession becomes our "kingdom" that we dwell in and rule over. I share ways to turn it back into God's kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy (Romans 14:17) so that we no longer feel the temptation to hold onto our own obsessive patterns, behaviors and fears but choose the Holy Spirit that lives inside us as our leader and caretaker. By understanding how to let go of the negative behaviors, we can then move forward and experience the peace and joy God has waiting for us.
