39. Uprooting Diet Culture in The Church with Liesel Maddox
Manage episode 436530325 series 3595664
In this sweet episode of the Old School Food Freedom Podcast, host Chrissy Kirkman and guest Liesel Maddox, RDN, LD, tackle a topic that's close to their hearts: tearing down the lies of diet culture within the Church. As they dive into the intersection of faith and food, Liesel highlights the importance of aligning our understanding of food and nutrition with biblical principles and rejecting the harmful message of diet culture for the freedom of God's people.
Knowing that our sanctification isn't tied to changing our bodies or pursuing weight loss but rooted in seeking God's truth and honoring Him with our bodies, we can reconcile our relationship with food and restore its place in our lives — where food is not only for survival, but an emotional, relational, and enjoyable part of God's creation. By lifting the veil on harmful diet culture lies that have infiltrated the Church, Chrissy and Liesel share valuable perspectives and tools you can use to help foster a safer, and more God-honoring approach to food and body within your beloved church community.
