Macro Myths Series: Part 2

Are carbs the enemy… or just misunderstood?

In this episode, we’re busting one of the biggest myths in modern nutrition: that carbohydrates are bad for your health. From keto trends to carb-cutting culture, it’s no wonder so many women feel confused, restricted, and frustrated.

But here’s the truth: not all carbs are created equal—and your body, especially as a woman, was never designed to fear food that came from the earth.

We’re talking about:

• Why low-carb diets work until they don’t.
• What carbs actually do in your body (hello, hormones, thyroid, and brain!).
• The difference between processed carbs and God-made carbs.
• Why timing, type, and season of life matter when it comes to carb intake.
• And yes—we’re talking about biblical bread vs. modern space-bread.

If you’ve ever felt afraid to eat a sweet potato or guilty for craving fruit before your period, this episode will bring clarity, freedom, and practical wisdom to your plate.

This is your permission slip to stop fearing carbs and start understanding them. God made your body to be nourished, not punished. Let’s untangle the myths—together.

Macro Myths Series: Part 1

Is counting calories really the best way to measure health? Or are we clinging to an outdated system that oversimplifies how our bodies actually work?

In this first episode of the Macro Myths series, we’re busting the calorie-counting mentality and exploring a smarter, science-backed approach to nourishing your body—macros.

You’ll learn where the calorie concept came from (spoiler: it involves burning food in a metal box), why it doesn’t reflect real digestion or hormone response, and how macronutrients—protein, fat, and carbs—actually fuel your body on a biological level.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in food math, confused by conflicting health advice, or just ready for a more aligned and freeing way to approach your plate, this episode is for you.

💥 Say goodbye to outdated diet rules and hello to real, functional nutrition.

Key Topics:

• The flawed science behind calorie-counting.
• What macros are (and how they work).
• Why your body needs more than just “energy in, energy out”.
• How to build a smarter, more satisfying plate.
• A sneak peek at the full Macro Myths series.

Ready to ditch diet math and feel better in your body? Let’s do it—together.

But we’re not stopping there. You’ll also discover how God designed your table—yes, even the one covered in crumbs and toddler chaos—to be a place of sacred joy and Kingdom legacy. We’ll explore the unique way food draws our kids to us, just as hunger draws us to God, and how moms can begin modeling heaven’s food culture in simple, beautiful ways.

The Promise of Abundance — Food, Celebration & God’s Goodness

✨ Part 4 of the Biblical Food Series

What if God’s plan for food wasn’t just about fuel… but about feasting? About joy, rest, and remembering how good He’s been?

In this episode, we follow the Israelites into the Promised Land and uncover a truth that often gets lost in today’s health culture: God designed food to be enjoyed.

Yes, He cares about your nourishment—but He also cares about your joy, your rhythms of rest, and your relationships around the table.

We’re talking:

• Milk, honey, figs, pomegranates, and wheat—what these foods reveal about God's heart.

• How God used feasts to embed gratitude, community, and worship into everyday life.

• Why biblical celebration isn’t about stuffing ourselves with stress-food… but honoring God with joy.

• What the biblical feasts tell us about sacred rhythms—and how we can reclaim them today.

• How even things like bitter herbs and barley were part of God’s healing design (physically and spiritually!).

Spoiler alert: God’s not asking you to live on dry chicken and shame salads. He’s inviting you to something so much better—a way of eating that’s full of life, joy, gratitude, and community.

Let this episode remind you that abundance isn’t the problem. Forgetting who it’s from—and why it matters—is.

Cravings and Consequences — When Food Becomes an Idol

✨ Part 2 of the Biblical Food Series

Ever found yourself standing in the kitchen, reaching for something sweet—not because you’re hungry, but because you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or just desperate for comfort? You’re not alone.

In this raw and relatable episode of the God’s Design for Food series, we dive into the powerful (and cautionary) story of the Israelites in the wilderness—how their unmet emotional needs and fear of the unknown led them to crave meat, reject God’s provision, and ultimately suffer the consequences. But this isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a wake-up call for our modern food culture too.

We’ll explore:

• What cravings reveal about our spiritual, emotional, and physical needs.

• How imbalances in your body (like insulin crashes or gut dysfunction) actually drive cravings.

• The difference between God’s sweet provision and our soul-hungry indulgence.

• Why self-control is a fruit of the Spirit—not a punishment or diet plan.

• How to stop turning to food as a replacement for trust, comfort, or peace.

Mama, your cravings don’t define you—but they do invite you to dig deeper. This episode will equip you to tune into what your body is asking for, what your spirit is missing, and how to come back to the Source who truly satisfies.
