In this episode of Unspoken Stewardship, Dr. Lynn Abies tackles one of the most misunderstood sins in modern Christianity: gluttony. This isn't about body shaming or food policing, it's about confronting the spiritual posture of using consumption to avoid God.

Dr. Lynn explores how gluttony shows up not just in eating, but in shopping, scrolling, information consumption, and even Christian content. She unpacks the biblical foundation for understanding appetite as worship, drawing from Proverbs 23, Philippians 3, and historical church teaching.

This discipleship-focused conversation offers practical steps for identifying your "gluttony lane," addressing the emotions underneath your appetite, and training yourself to enjoy God first not as a substitute. If you've ever used comfort to cope instead of turning to Christ, this episode will challenge and free you.
