Stop managing what Jesus died to break. This is how freedom actually starts.

If you keep saying “I don’t have time” but you’ve got time for scrolling, streaming, and numbing out, this episode is for you.

If you keep calling it “my struggle” like that’s your identity, this episode is for you.

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re always behind, always failing, always stuck in the same cycles, this episode is for you.

Because Temple Keepers, we do not manage chains.
We leave them behind.

In this episode, we confront the lies that keep believers stuck and the language we’ve normalized that quietly reinforces defeat. We talk about time stewardship, identity, and why behavior always follows what you believe about yourself.

We address why strongholds are not meant to be managed but torn down, and how Christianity is not about sitting in sin, struggle, or bondage. It’s repentance, truth, and obedience. Right now.

We also dismantle two extremes many Christians fall into. Abdicating responsibility and waiting on God to do what He’s already empowered us to do. Or taking too much responsibility and trying to be our own savior. One says “I’m helpless.” The other says “I’m God.” Neither is biblical.

We go after fear directly and call it what it is. Functional atheism. Living like God is not God.

We challenge the lie that life “shouldn’t be this hard” and anchor the conversation in Scripture, reminding us that suffering produces endurance, character, and hope, and that struggle exposes what we truly trust.

We also expose the counterfeit comforts we run to when life gets hard. Food. Entertainment. Scrolling. Control. Approval. Different behaviors. Same root.

Finally, we look at Jesus at the Pool of Bethesda. He doesn’t validate excuses. He asks, “Do you want to get well?” and then commands obedience. Pick up your mat and walk.

We close with the weight of the Last Supper and the question that determines everything. Who is Jesus to you? A good teacher or your Lord?

Because if He is Lord, there is nothing you cannot do in Him.

If you’ve ever followed every diet guru and still felt stuck… If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you actually gave God your food for 21 days… If you’ve ever thought, “Is it weird to invite God into my workouts and my plate?”…

This conversation will feel like God putting His hand on your shoulder, saying, “Watch what I can do.”

Today, we sit back down with Keri, a Christian therapist, wife, and Temple Keeper, one month after her first live coaching call and fresh out of the 21 Day God Food Challenge.

You’ll hear what changed when she stopped listening to the world’s experts and let God be Lord over her health. How she accidentally lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks without dieting or obsessing. And how God met her in the deep places: childhood humiliation, food shame, sleep struggles, and the fear of truly being uncomfortable for Him.

This isn’t a “check-in.” This is a picture of what happens when a believer stops building the temple of self and starts stewarding the temple of God.

⭐️ WHAT WE COVERED
• How 21 days of God Food exposed the lie that “secular gurus know better than God.”
• Why bringing God into workouts turned punishment into worship
• Freedom in caring more about fellowship than food at church events
• How journaling and “little girl letters” helped heal old humiliation
• The triune-being shift that changed her daily decisions
• Why many Christians think it’s strange to invite God into food and fitness
• The truth is that most of us want comfort more than growth
• Why lukewarm, cotton-candy Christianity keeps us stuck
• How she lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks by focusing on obedience, not dieting
• The sleep struggle and what’s really happening in the body
• Matthew’s practical, science-backed strategy for deeper sleep
• How tithing, stewardship, and health share the same heart posture
• Why this isn’t “another program,” but a lifestyle of honoring God with your body

🔥 LINES WORTH KEEPING CLOSE
“God created me. Why did I think a secular diet guru had the answer for my body?”
“It doesn’t make sense to be spirit-led and then ask someone not walking with Christ how to live.”
“Freedom is found in the discomfort we keep running from.”
“We don’t grow in our comfortable seasons. We grow in holy discomfort with God.”
“I’m done with the sugar-coated, cotton candy gospel.”
“I don’t want to be lukewarm. I want to actually do what He wants.”
“You either believe Him, or you don’t.”
“You don’t need more willpower. You need more wisdom and obedience.”
“This isn’t a diet. This is my life. My temple. What God wants.”

If the holidays always leave you heavier, stressed, and full of guilt instead of gratitude, this episode is for you.
You do not have to choose between honoring God and enjoying pecan pie. You can protect your health, keep your peace, and still fully celebrate with your family this season.
Most of us walk into Thanksgiving and Christmas on autopilot. No plan. All or nothing thinking. Food everywhere. Family pressure. Zero routine. Then we wake up in January, wondering what happened to our health and holiness.
In this conversation, we walk you through how to anchor your heart in Jesus, enjoy the people and the food in front of you, and refuse the guilt spiral that usually hijacks this season. You will learn how to set simple boundaries and actually enjoy the holidays without losing your peace or your health.
This episode will finally make your holiday plan make sense.

WHAT WE COVERED
* Why the holidays trigger the highest stress and weight gain of the year
* The power of entering the season with realistic expectations (maintenance, not perfection)
* How to anchor yourself spiritually before gatherings with three simple questions
* Why Jesus celebrated, feasted, and fellowshipped — and what that means for you
* How to enjoy holiday foods without guilt or spiraling into all-or-nothing thinking
* Simple boundary tools: the one plate rule, the one bite rule, and planning intentional meals
* How to protect your home as a sanctuary instead of a temptation trap
* Practical strategies
* Holiday traditions that honor God, build connection, and don’t revolve around food
* Why one feast doesn’t ruin your health and how getting back on track quickly brings freedom

LINES WORTH KEEPING CLOSE:
“Your goal this holiday season is not to be smaller. It is to be more surrendered.”
“You do not have to choose between holiness and holidays. You can have both.”
“Nobody ever got unhealthy from one meal and nobody ever got healthy from one meal.”
“Your home is your sanctuary. You are not required to invite leftover temptation to live there.”
“You do not have a problem saying no. You say no to yourself all the time. You have a problem saying yes to the right things.”
“You can enjoy mac and cheese and pecan pie without worshiping them.”
“Permission given on purpose is not rebellion. It is leadership.”
“One feast with your family is not failure. It is often obedience.”
“If the whole holiday is about food and stress, you have missed the point. The season was meant to be worship.”
“A train that stops at a station is not off track. It is still on its route. The same is true for you after one planned feast.”
“You cannot receive a gift and hold on to guilt at the same time. Guilt is not a gift from God.”
“The point of what we do is not fat loss. The point is to point you to the Father. Peace and fat loss are byproducts.”
