Growing up we were always encouraged to have a balanced diet, to eat healthy foods, and particularly our vegetables. So that we could grow big and strong.

Remember the television commercials to eat "Wonder Bread", which helped to build strong bodies in 12 different ways?

We were also told to eat three meals a day, Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, with Breakfast being the most important meal of the day. We were advised to stay away from junk food, for it wasn’t healthy.

Some would eat too much, some would eat too little. Some would eat foods not good for the body. Some would feast on junk food.

It was important how we related to food, so we wouldn’t develop an eating disorder, which is an imbalance in one’s intake of food.

Anorexia and Bulimia are very serious eating disorders that occur when one does not properly relate to food. Eating disorders are serious. They can and do result in physical and emotional turmoil.

In this episode, we address “Spiritual Eating Disorders”. An unbalanced spiritual diet will result in a spiritual eating disorder.

A spiritual eating disorder arises when one doesn't properly relate to God's word. Just as our physical bodies need nutritious food, our spirits require the nourishment of scripture. Failing to engage with the Bible can be compared to physical starvation and leads to spiritual weakness and stunted growth.

Neglecting spiritual nourishment hinders your relationship with God and prevents spiritual growth. Without a consistent diet of God's word, you limit your understanding of His will and miss out on the guidance and strength He provides.

Just as our physical bodies require food for energy and growth, our souls thrive on the "Bread of Heaven".

To God Be The Glory!

In this episode, we encourage you to surrender your problems to God, acknowledging that God’s will is always for your benefit. We highlight the importance of focusing on God’s love and trusting in His plan.

We want to offer guidance and comfort to those facing challenges in their
lives, emphasizing the importance of placing faith in God, asserting that God
is aware of and in control of everything.

God is always aware of our struggles and wants us to turn to Him for guidance
and support. No matter how big or small, nothing happens in our lives that He doesn't see. He has a plan for us, even when times are tough, and by trusting
in Him, we can find peace and freedom from our worries.

Have you ever had a situation when you didn't know what to do?

Have you ever had a problem that you thought was so big you did not
know howit could ever be solved?

Have you ever felt that no matter how hard you tried to explain something,
no one would understand?

Have you ever felt so discouraged that you felt as though the weights of the
world were upon your shoulders?

Have you been physically ill or near death ,and felt that you were at the point of
no return?

Has death knocked on the door of a friend or loved one unexpectedly?

Have you ever been persecuted, forsaken, maligned, misunderstood or
unappreciated?

If you have ever experienced one or more of these things, we have some great news for you! Nothing happens in your life that God is not aware of.

It’s important that you are careful of with whom you surround yourselves with. Careful of with whom, you share your innermost feelings and issues with.

Be careful of having a “Woe is Me” attitude, and sharing that with someone who will co-sign that feeling. The Bible says: “They that wait, or hope, in the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like an eagle.”
You can’t soar with the eagles, if you’re running with the turkeys!

Take your burdens to the Lord. You can Put It All In His Hands.

To God Be The Glory!

In this episode we discuss the dwelling place of God. Specifically focusing on God dwelling within His people. We share information about the establishment of the first temple, built by King Solomon, as well as some of the exquisite places of worship we have visited around the world.

While these places can be dedicated to worship, and serve as gathering places for believers, God's true dwelling place is in the hearts of His people. God is not confined to physical structures like temples or church buildings.

One of our most memorable trips was to Athens, Greece and Istanbul, Turkey.
In Greece, we visited Mars Hill, the place spoken about in the book of Acts.
In Istanbul, Turkey we visited the ruins of the city of Ephesus, as well as the renown Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

Mars Hill was a place where people worshipped various idols. The Apostle Paul preached a sermon to remember, to the men of Athens on Mars Hill. He told them that in all things they were too superstitious. He saw an altar with this inscription, "TO THE UNKNOWN GOD", whom they ignorantly worshipped. Paul declared to them, that is the God that made the entire world, and that He does not dwell in Temples made by hands.

In the book of 1 Corinthians, Paul tells the Corinthian church " Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?"

When discussing sexual immorality, Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

When you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, your body becomes a temple for the Holy Spirit. He comes in and fills your temple. Treat your temple with reverence and respect, for it is a sacred space. Be mindful of what you do with your body. In the book of Romans, Paul says "to present your body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service"


Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty, however, don't use that liberty for a cloak of maliciousness. Listen to this episode, then check yourself. You wa
