Tired of healthy food rules that never seem to stick?

Feeling like a hypocrite when trying to model healthy habits for your kids?

Wondering why you keep fighting a war with your own body every single day?

In this special series launch episode, I'm introducing the groundbreaking Fruits of the Spirit series that will transform how you approach your health as a Christian parent. We're exploring why most health approaches fail - because they're built on shame and frustration instead of love. I'm sharing how to shift from a restriction-based mindset to a love-based approach that actually creates lasting change, starting with three practical ways to implement this foundation today.

Galatians 5:22-23 - "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 - "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends."
