Podcasts about Gluttony

In this invited lecture at Marist College, hosted by the Catholic Studies Program as part of their Marcelin Lecture Series, I narrate some of the key points and developments in the story of how we ended up with the current list of the Seven Deadly Sins, which are: Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. Originally, these start out as the Eight Capital Vices, a list which includes sadness, acedia, and vainglory, and which does not include envy. So, how did we end up with the list we know today? The story involves Christian monks in the Egyptian desert, Benedictine monks, a reluctant pope, poets, scholastic professors, confessors, and mystics, and ranges over a millennium of thinkers and texts. In the process, I discuss some of the key players: Evagrius Ponticus, John Cassian, Gregory I, Alcuin, Peter Lombard, Thomas Aquinas, and Dante Alighieri This portion of the talk discusses the treatments of the seven deadly sins by poets ranging from Prudentius to Chaucer and Dante, and by mystics like St. John of the Cross. We also conclude by examining a few additional topics raised by questions from the audience.

This Mental Man Monday takes place on a Tuesday, and Izzy opens by acknowledging the shift with humor before diving into a focused and fast-paced episode built around three cultural moments: the viral rise of calorie-loaded “snack hacks,” Kanye West's open letter about his mental health, and the wave of TikTok creators claiming censorship around ICE-related content.Izzy begins by announcing that Season 9 officially closed with Episode 5 featuring AmRock, and until the new season arrives, Mental Man Monday will continue as a livestream series centered on current events that directly impact men. The first topic is a viral TikTok involving Biscoff cheesecake egg rolls, which sparks a deeper conversation about food culture, weight loss, and the sin of gluttony. Izzy examines how TikTok's dessert trends have quietly redefined what “snacking” means, turning simple treats into full meals with 1,200 calories or more. He breaks down the mental health component through the lens of emotional eating, body transformation, fasting culture in January, and the tension between treat culture and self-discipline. Izzy connects this to the Christian principle of stewardship over the body, joking that “WWJD” (What Would Jesus Do) in this context is calling out gluttony, while “WWID” (What Would I Do) focuses on portion control, algorithm manipulation, and leveraging January fasting traditions as a spiritual reset.The second segment shifts to Kanye West, who published a full-page open letter in the Wall Street Journal claiming that an undiagnosed brain injury from 2002 contributed to years of public instability. Izzy reflects on bipolar disorder, grief, artistry, and how culture treats Black genius when mental illness is involved. He affirms that two things can be true at once: Kanye's admission may be sincere, and the entertainment industry may have also attempted to control the narrative. Izzy explores public apologies, the ethics of restoration, and the responsibility men have to apologize when they're wrong—while also noting that public dishonor should receive public correction. The discussion lands on a practical mental health takeaway: treatment, therapy, lifestyle change, and accountability matter, but apologies only carry weight when rooted in sincerity, not pressure. In the final segment, Izzy addresses growing claims from celebrities that TikTok is censoring ICE-related content after a Minneapolis man was killed during an ICE operation. Rather than joining the digital outrage cycle, Izzy takes a critical thinking approach, refusing to follow groupthink or reactionary activism without research. He explains that ICE may have been founded with one intention, but that individual agents often abuse their power, and that the real crisis lies in unnecessary violence and the trauma of family separation. Izzy then examines what Jesus would do—drawing a distinction between honoring governing authorities and refusing to endorse immoral actions—and challenges men to seek truth beyond political binaries. He reminds listeners that refusing to hate a political figure does not translate into supporting them, and that Christians should avoid reactionary rage while still confronting injustice.The episode closes with a brief reflection on discernment, discipline, and preparation for the year ahead. Izzy hints at future guests, a new talk show concept, and ongoing cultural analysis. He signs off with a consistent reminder to keep your head up, know who you are, and make decisions that align with purpose rather than pressure.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

Many Catholics feel spiritually dry or burned out, even while praying often, attending Mass, and practicing multiple devotions.In this episode of St. Anthony's Tongue, we explore what I call spiritual gluttony. This is the subtle habit of consuming prayers, devotions, and spiritual practices in a way that exhausts us instead of transforming us.This is not a rejection of Catholic devotion. It is an invitation to stop performing and start receiving.We talk about why so many Catholics feel they need to earn the love of God, how prayer can quietly become transactional, and why silence and stillness are essential to the Christian life. We also reflect on the difference between spiritual dryness and spiritual exhaustion, and why many people are not distant from God but simply tired.This episode gently introduces the movement of prayer from vocal prayer to meditation and contemplation, and why devotion is meant to lead to union with God rather than accumulation.You are not broken.You may simply be exhausted.And God is not disappointed in you.Peace be with you.

Self-indulgence is the enemy of self-denial and the enemy of Christian discipleship. Those aren't my words. They're the words of Dr. Ron Jones, lead pastor at Atlantic Shores Baptist Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Well, the world preaches self-improvement and self-indulgence. Jesus taught self-denial and self-restraint. Today, Ron sets the table for us on how to overcome the deadly sin of gluttony.

You may think of gluttony as being addicted to eating too much. But there's far more to it than that. The Bible has plenty to say about gluttony. And when it does, it always includes words of caution about drunkenness. The word gluttony not only excessive eating, but excessive drinking. Ron digs in to the subject of gluttony today, as he continues his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins that Drag You Down.”  

In the Christian life there are often sins that are overlooked, dismissed, and neglected. These exist in contrast to the ones that are far more obvious and therefore far more commonly addressed. So in an effort to discern the whole counsel of God and allow its light to pervade into every nook and cranny of our hearts, this week we turn to the sins of greed, gluttony, and grumbling in an effort to address how Christ's Lordship affects our hearts and even our plates.

Eating disorders and disordered eating affect nearly all of us in some way—but the Bible helps us see that this struggle goes deeper than food, weight, or appearance. In this episode, Pastor Tony Wood and wife Bre talk openly and compassionately about eating disorders, gluttony, self-control, and why Scripture frames these struggles as issues of the heart and worship, not just behavior or body image. We acknowledge real medical realities while gently addressing the spiritual motivations behind how and why we eat.Chat with Bre on Instagram @datenightwiththewoods Follow Tony on Instagram @drtonygwood For videos, old episodes, blog posts, events, and more www.datenightfam.org

As a new year approaches, many people feel pressure to "fix" themselves after holiday overindulgence — often through extreme restrictions that never last. In this episode, we talk about how to set realistic, sustainable health and fitness goals for 2026 without guilt, shame, or an all-or-nothing mindset. We also take a biblical look at an often-misunderstood topic: Is gluttony a sin? What does Scripture really say about overeating, self-control, and the desires of the flesh? Together, we explore how our physical habits connect to our spiritual lives and how to pursue health in a way that honors God rather than feeds guilt or obsession. In this episode, you'll learn: How to set realistic health and fitness goals for 2026 Why extreme restriction usually backfires How to build sustainable habits with balance What the Bible teaches about gluttony and self-control Whether you're joining the challenge or simply want a healthier, more balanced approach to food and fitness, this episode will help you think clearly, biblically, and realistically about caring for your body.

In this episode, we expose a silent sin that is quietly weakening Christians from the inside out. Many believers overlook this area completely, yet Scripture warns us repeatedly about it. Gluttony, sloth, complacency, and lack of discipline are destroying the spiritual strength of countless Christians — and almost no one talks about it.Mallory and I break down what the Bible actually says, why this sin goes unnoticed, and how believers can defeat it through repentance, discipline, and walking in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16).If you've ever felt spiritually dull, unmotivated, or stuck in cycles of comfort, this episode will help you see what's really going on — and how to overcome it through Christ.✝️ COACHING WITH DAVID! https://imdavidhammond.com✝️ COACHING WITH MALLORY! https://biblicallyfeminine.com

A message about how gluttony is not just about eating too much for dinner, it's idolatry.

Most people don't realize they're drifting spiritually until the damage is already done. In this episode, James Griffin, Matt Moody, and Will Goodwin unpack how “small” compromises slowly shape your desires and open the door to bigger sins. Gluttony isn't just about eating; it's about running to anything other than God for comfort, identity, or control. You'll learn how habits, motives, craving, fasting, and gratitude all form the deeper battle beneath the surface. If you're tired of feeling controlled by your desires, this conversation will help you reclaim wisdom, self-control, and joy in Christ.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes158To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Ask the Pastors Season 7 Episode 10: "How sinful is gluttony?" by West Hills Church

Are you tired of letting fears—big or small—shape how you live and see yourself? In this powerful wrap-up to our "Fear Free Fall" series, Heather Creekmore tackles one of the most common (and sneaky) fears: the fear of gaining weight. But that's just the beginning. This episode goes deep, unearthing all the little day-to-day worries that seem so normal… until you realize they’re holding you back. Heather asks tough questions: Where do our fears about weight really come from? Are our fears about gainign weight about health…or worth? What does the Bible actually teach about bodies, value, and holiness—and are we prioritizing “taking care of our temple” over what God specifically asks of us? Heather shares surprising biblical truths, eye-opening cultural stories, and practical steps to trade fear for faith—even if your fear is “just how I am.” Whether you find yourself obsessing over the scale, or caught in smaller worries that never seem to quit, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective and actionable advice. Don't miss Heather’s candid encouragement and the very real invitation to find freedom, trust, and joyful expectancy… starting today.

This message is from our "Deadly Sins" series.Sin doesn't just make you bad- it leaves you dead. These seven sins are subtle, seductive, and deadly, and the enemy uses them to rob you of the life God intends. In this series, we're going to call these sins what they are, drag them into the light, and learn how to kill them by the power of the holy spirit.

The holiday season is filled with family time, decorations, and...of course...food. We tend to have more than our fair share of food during this time of the year, but is there a point where we have indulged a little too much? At what point are we stepping into the sin of Gluttony? Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen as they begin this new series called Christmas Crossroads.

"The Venus flytrap, a devouring organism, aptly named for the goddess of love." ― Tennessee Williams, Suddenly Last Summer "The first screenplay Griffith wrote was Cardula, a Dracula-themed story involving a vampire music critic. After Corman rejected the idea, Griffith says he wrote a screenplay titled Gluttony, in which the protagonist was "a salad chef in a restaurant who would wind up cooking customers and stuff like that, you know? We couldn't do that though because of the code at the time. So I said, 'How about a man-eating plant?', and Roger said, 'Okay.' By that time, we were both drunk." - wikipedia

What is gluttony really? If you’ve ever worried about overeating, obsessing about food, or wondered whether enjoying that extra slice of cake is a spiritual failure, this episode is for you. Best-selling author and host Heather Creekmore dives deep into the true heart behind gluttony—exploring why our modern definitions miss the mark and how diet culture and church culture have distorted our understanding. Heather reframes gluttony, drawing on biblical insight, church history, and thought-provoking examples from C.S. Lewis and Tim Keller. She challenges the idea that gluttony is simply about having seconds or what’s on your plate and asks powerful questions about cravings, control, and where we derive our satisfaction. Plus, Heather explores how misplaced fears about food can keep us stuck and why true freedom comes from surrender—not self-denial. Whether food has become a source of stress or you’re striving for perfect control, this conversation will open your eyes to new ways of understanding your desires and finding satisfaction. Ready to rethink gluttony and experience food freedom? Listen now for practical encouragement, spiritual wisdom, and a fresh take you won’t want to miss!

This sermon was preached by Jared Osborne on October 27, 2025 and is part of the series 7 Deadly Sins of the Young Adult. 

How do we get the rest, the order, and the productivity levels that we need? As an adult the work never stops, so when do we say “when?” As humans we have desires that are legitimate and need to be fulfilled. Again, when do we say “enough” How much is “good” for us? Listen in. Quotes:“Do you not want the King?” “Want him?” she replied, “How can there be anything that I did not want?” -Perelandra by, C.S. Lewis

Gluttony is what happens when feeling full is more important than being fulfilled.

Throughout this series, we will be looking at the sins that derail us in our walks with God, but also cures that deliver us. And part of what we learned so far, is that real heart and life change begins with an awareness of the places in our life where we are the most susceptible to sin. And it's easy to see why: It's because you can't fix what you don't know is wrong.This week we dove into the story of a woman who found herself in this exact predicament— unaware of the condition of her soul, oblivious to the life found only in Christ, and surrendered to herself and her desires alone.We explored this more in a message titled, “From Gluttony to Sacrifice”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Atheism is often pointed out as a religion, and in many ways, the obsession with health and wellness has become its own secular form of legalism. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind listeners that while bodily exercise is valuable, it can easily become idolatry if it replaces worship of the Lord. Gluttony has long been a silent sin, rarely addressed in churches, yet food can just as easily become an idol as the pursuit of beauty or fitness. The guys emphasize the need for balance: a pastor should not be marked by obvious gluttony, but at the same time, believers must avoid falling into the opposite extremes. Humans are wired to worship—so the question is, what or who are you worshiping?There is nothing wrong with caring for the body, but when the motive is self-glorification rather than glorifying God, the line has been crossed. Historically, Christians have been known for fasting, generosity, and blessing others, rather than being consumed by self-care. When self-care becomes an idol, it often reveals a fear of death and a desire to earn immortality. The truth is that the outer man is wasting away, and eternal life is found only in Christ. Motivation determines whether health is pursued as an idol or as stewardship of the temple of the Holy Spirit. Oscar shares that he lifts weights to maintain strength and longevity, aiming to serve God and his family well as he ages. E.Z. adds that part of his drive is to avoid becoming a burden to his children and to maximize his impact for the Lord.The wellness industry has grown worldwide, but combining wellness practices with paganism introduces another possible danger. Practices like meditation or yoga often promise salvation through Eastern philosophies, but they are just another form of legalism that cannot defeat death. Eternal youth is a false hope; eternal glory in Christ is the true answer. Believers should desire to live fully until they die, striving to honor God with their bodies.The guys emphasize the practical benefits of activity, pointing out that humans were not made for a sedentary life in front of screens. Exercising strengthens both body and mind, and tackling tough challenges builds confidence and resilience. At the same time, they warn against being judgmental toward others who practice moderation. Rest, too, is part of God's design, and the Sabbath reminds believers that they are not machines defined solely by their productivity. Ultimately, the message is simple: avoid gluttony and laziness, reject the idolization of beauty, view health as stewardship, and above all, love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Why do we have to be cautious with inordinate pleasure? How does gluttony function in our lives, and how do we resist this vice?

In the Middle Ages, theologians said there are different forms of gluttony—that you can eat and drink excessively, sumptuously, daintily, or impulsively. Technically, gluttony means to eat and drink immoderately. But gluttony also tells us something about each of us. Gluttony is taking something good and then cramming it in until we're sick of it. Our desires are disordered so that good and necessary things become cravings. Sin, in other words, makes us all addicted to something. We all crave something, and we do it in such a way that it is very, very bad for us. Let's look at three things this Scripture teaches us about craving: 1) the depth of our craving, 2) the structure of our craving, and 3) the healing.

What does the Bible say about alcohol? How about smoking? It can be easy for Christians to fall into one of two ditches: legalism or anti-nomianism. However, while fundamentalist Christians are worried about things like drinking, smoking, or dancing, they tend to ignore the problem of gluttony. On the other side, while wanting to enjoy alcohol, entertainment, etc, do these things start to take the place of true joy and fulfillment, which can only be obtained through God?

Today, I'm joined by my dear friend and colleague Geta Barbu — gut health practitioner, nutritionist, and faith-filled truth-teller — for a raw, convicting conversation about what's really going on in the wellness industry. We're unpacking 8 wellness trends that Scripture actually warns us about, including: ✨ Idolatry of the body ✨ False prophets + empty promises (hi, TikTok detox kits

Weeds in My Garden | Gluttony & Apathy | Jonathan Moynihan

This Sunday, we kicked off a new series called Curing the 7 Deadly Sins. Over the next ten weeks we'll walk through struggles that have been tripping people up for centuries—Pride, Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Wrath. More importantly we will discover the freedom Jesus offers in their place!This week we started the conversation with Pride! Pride so often sits at the root of the others, whispering that we can handle life on our own, that God's way is optional, that His grace isn't really needed. But the truth is, pride keeps us from seeing God clearly, while humility opens our eyes.This weekend wasn't just about naming sin, it's about finding freedom. Together we learned how humility opens the door to God's best. Tune into this week's message titled, “From Pride to Humility”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Some sins are obvious, marked by shame and confession. But what about the ones we don't think twice about—habits so ingrained in our lives that they no longer feel like sins at all? That's the premise of this new sermon series. The first message hones in on gluttony, where it's not about the number on a scale but the posture of our hearts toward food. Could it be that our overindulgence, excessive cravings, and disregard for self-control are keeping us from the purpose God has for us? Pastor Mike helps us explore what Scripture says about gluttony, why it matters, and how Jesus meets us at the table—not with condemnation but with grace that leads to change.

Women are often praised for being “good” but what if goodness is holding us back from being whole? In this deeply thought-provoking episode, bestselling author Elise Loehnen returns to discuss her new workbook, Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness, a companion to her New York Times bestseller, On Our Best Behavior. They explore how deeply ingrained cultural programming shapes women's identities, expectations, and stories, often without our awareness. Elise breaks down the seven “sins” that subconsciously govern women's lives, including the good girl script, perfectionism, and self-sacrifice, and teaches us how to reclaim power by choosing truth and wholeness over performance and fear. You'll learn tangible tools for self-inquiry including “fact versus story”, how to identify fear responses, naming personas, and how to recognize if you're caught in a drama triangle.  This episode is rich with insights, tools, and real-life examples that will help you begin to shift your internal stories, access deeper self-compassion, and build stronger, healthier boundaries. It's not about being a better woman—it's about being more you.

Listen to today's episode on our website Elise Loehnen is a writer, editor, and podcast host who lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their two sons, Max and Sam. She is the host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are—and then putting those threads back together. Ultimately Elise is a seeker and synthesizer, braiding together wisdom traditions, cultural history, and a deep knowledge of healing modalities to unlock new ways to contextualize who we are and why we're here. She's also the author of the instant New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good (Dial Press/PRH). The book weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways patriarchy lands in the bodies of women and embeds itself in our consciousness—and what we then police in ourselves and in each other. Regardless of our religious provenance, the self-denial implicit in each of the Seven Deadly Sins—Sloth, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Anger—reads like a checklist of what it means to be a “good” woman. With awareness, we can begin to recognize these patterns of self-restriction, break the story, and move ourselves and each other toward freedom and balance. Elise is a frequent contributor to Oprah, and has written for The New York Times, Elle Decor, Stylist, and more.
