Clearly with Jimmy & Kelly Needham God At the Center of My Eating Habits
Hold our Little Debbie, we're going all in on food. It's no secret that our culture has A LOT to say about how we eat. But it may surprise you that the Bible has a lot to say as well. If you've ever wrestled with the issue of food, if you've felt like you can't get your eating under control, if you wanna know how the Lordship of Jesus fits into this whole thing, today's episode is for you!
The Short Story: We all have to eat food. It’s literally baked into our everyday lives 😋 Our society is big on eating correctly from a scientific standpoint. But should we be aware of moral standards concerning our eating?
What if God cares about how, when, and what you eat? How do you eat with God at the center?
1 Cor 10:31 "Therefore whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
Application questions:
