Congruent Health
Desire to have Jesus in your eating disorder recovery journey? Trying to understand where God in his goodness is in traumatic experiences and how to have him lead post-traumatic growth? Does God care about health and fitness? How do we heal God's way? What barriers around eating and caring for the body in a non-obsessive way are human, practical issues and what are spiritual?
This podcast is devoted to encouragement and discipling of those pursuing healing from food and body image issues and health concerns who desire to walk in and with Jesus Christ. We aim to be gentle but truthful for those struggling to trust God with their health and healing needs and those coming out performance-based living, whether religion or the New Age. We will discuss topics related to "not conforming to the patterns of this world" in regards to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being strategies. Meaning we are going to seek God's ways. We don't claim to know everything, so please test everything.
We are not speaking here as your nutrition counselor, teacher, guru, etc. We are speaking here (we meaning myself and guests) through education and lived experience. Please do not consider what you listen to as direct medical or mental health advice but as ideas to consider on your journey.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
