What if the goal isn't to be perfect… but to be faithful? What would change in your health journey if, instead of constantly asking yourself, “Am I doing enough?” you started asking, “Am I being faithful with what God has placed in front of me today?” Because when we decide it's time to “get back on track” or finally get serious about our health, what do we tend to do? We overhaul everything. New diet. New workout routine. Meal prep. No sugar. No carbs. More water. Early mornings. Perfect portions. Maybe even a brand-new schedule—all starting Monday! And for a little while, we're all in. But eventually… life happens. The kids need something. Work gets crazy. You're tired. Your schedule changes. You miss a workout. You eat something you didn't plan on eating. And suddenly that all-or-nothing mindset creeps back in. “Well, I already messed up.” “I'll start again tomorrow.” And the cycle begins all over again. But what if there's another way? What if God isn't asking you to completely overhaul your life overnight? What if He's inviting you to be faithful in the small things? Because transformation usually doesn't happen through one big decision or one perfect day. It happens through the small choices we make consistently over time—especially the choices nobody else sees. Choosing to nourish your body instead of restrict it. Choosing to move your body because you're caring for it, not punishing it. Choosing to pause and pray instead of automatically turning to food. Choosing to get back up after a hard day instead of deciding you've failed. Those choices may feel small, but they matter. So today, we're going to talk about what it really looks like to choose faithfulness over perfection and how those small, everyday choices can create lasting transformation. So stick with me, friend. Let's dive into this together. And if you're realizing that you don't need another diet—you need support, accountability, and someone to help you actually put these things into practice—I'd love to connect with you through one-on-one coaching. You can email me at TaraJ@DietDitching.com to learn more and schedule a discovery call.

How do you actually study the Bible—and how do you know whether a spiritual experience is really from God? In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham unpack 2 Timothy 2 and get practical about becoming people who know God's Word and live it out. Carlos and Paul also share powerful reflections from their trip to Israel, including what Gethsemane and Galilee taught them about Jesus, His sacrifice, and the ministry happening right in front of us. Then the conversation gets practical: How do you avoid pointless Christian arguments without compromising truth? How much power do your words really have? What are the best ways to study Scripture? And when someone claims to have seen heaven or experienced a supernatural vision, how should Christians respond? In this episode: Why Jesus remains faithful even when we fail How to know which theological disagreements are worth fighting over Why your words can bring life or death into your relationships Four practical methods for studying the Bible How to use SOAP and inductive Bible study Why biblical knowledge requires time and intentionality How to test visions and near-death experiences against Scripture Why God's Word—not personal experience—remains our authority Stand firm.

Can I let you in on a little secret? Healthy eating really isn't that hard. But we've made it hard. We've convinced ourselves that eating healthy means spending hours meal prepping every Sunday. It means finding complicated recipes with 17 ingredients that nobody actually wants to eat three days later. It means buying expensive “health foods,” giving up the foods we love, never eating out again, and somehow eating perfectly seven days a week. And then we wonder… “Why can't I stick with this?” But what if the problem isn't that you need more willpower? What if you simply need to be more prepared for real life? Because think about what happens when you're hungry, exhausted, running late, stressed, or juggling a million things. You're probably not thinking, “Let me make this complicated, perfectly balanced meal from scratch!” You're thinking, “What can I eat right now?” And in those moments, you're going to reach for what's easiest. So instead of expecting yourself to make perfect choices in every situation, what if you started making the healthy choice easier to choose? That's what we're talking about today. I'm going to give you three simple ways to prep for healthy eating success—without turning your kitchen into a meal-prep factory and without creating another restrictive diet that you're going to abandon in a few weeks. Because healthy eating shouldn't require perfection. It shouldn't mean following a million rules. And it definitely shouldn't make you feel like you can't enjoy your favorite foods or live your life. The goal is to make healthy choices easier—not to make your life harder. So if you've ever found yourself thinking, “I know what I should eat, but when life gets busy, I just don't do it,” this episode is for you. Let's talk about how a little preparation can help you feel more confident, more consistent, and less overwhelmed when it comes to healthy eating. And if you want some extra support and accountability along the way, I'd love to connect with you. Come join us inside our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free, where you can connect with other women who are working through these same struggles. And if you're ready for more personalized guidance, you can email me at TaraJ@DietDitching.com. I'd love to connect with you and talk about how I can help you on your journey. Now, let's get into those three simple ways you can start prepping for success.

Galatians 4:1-20

Let me ask you a question… What do you do when you know you should exercise, but you just don't feel like it? You know movement is good for you. You know you'll probably feel better afterward. You might even have your workout clothes sitting right there waiting for you. But you think… “I'll work out when I have more energy.” “I'll start again Monday.” “I'm just not motivated right now.” “I really need to get back into a routine.” And then a few days turn into a few weeks. Sound familiar? Here's what I want you to understand today: You are not always going to feel motivated to exercise. And if your movement routine depends on you feeling motivated first, you're going to be inconsistent. But that doesn't mean you're lazy. It doesn't mean you lack discipline. And it certainly doesn't mean you need to push yourself harder. It means you may be relying on the wrong thing. Because the goal isn't to wake up every morning and somehow manufacture motivation out of thin air. The goal is to learn how to move your body even when motivation isn't there. And the good news is—you can do that without forcing yourself through workouts you hate or using exercise as punishment for what you ate. Today, I'm going to give you four practical tools you can use to stay active even when you don't feel motivated. These are simple strategies that can help you make movement a normal part of taking care of your body—not another thing you have to be perfect at. Because exercise doesn't have to be punishment. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. And it doesn't have to look like five intense workouts every single week. It can simply become something you do because you value your body and want to take care of it. So if you've been stuck in the cycle of “I'll start Monday,” or you keep waiting until you feel motivated to get moving, this episode is for you. Let's dive into those four tools and talk about how you can make movement a sustainable part of your life. And if you're listening and thinking, “Tara, I know what to do. I just need someone to help me actually follow through,” I'd love to help. You can email me at TaraJ@DietDitching.com to connect with me about a discovery call, or head over to DietDitching.com to learn more about working with me. And of course, I'd love to invite you into our Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free, where you can connect with other women who understand the struggle and are learning to approach weight loss from a place of freedom instead of frustration. Now, let's get into those four tools.

What if some of the “lost” or “banned” gospels actually tell us more about the real Jesus than the Bible does? It's a claim that continues to resurface—and a recent viral conversation on The Joe Rogan Experience brought it back into the spotlight. In this bonus episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Carlos and Paul react to claims about the Gnostic Gospels and examine the historical evidence behind Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Were books about Jesus intentionally suppressed by the Church? Were the Gnostic Gospels actually written first? And can we trust the New Testament to give us an accurate picture of the historical Jesus? Along the way, they also discuss why Christians should pursue truth without becoming hostile toward people asking sincere questions—and why getting Jesus right matters. In this episode: What the Gnostic Gospels actually are Why they were rejected by the early Church When the biblical Gospels were written compared to the Gnostic texts The evidence supporting Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John Why the full character of Jesus matters How to respond when popular voices make questionable claims about Christianity Why the real Jesus continues to transform lives 2,000 years later If you've ever wondered whether books were removed from the Bible, whether the Church hid alternative accounts of Jesus, or how confident we can be in the Gospels, this conversation is for you.

What if the path to greater peace isn't getting more answers from God, but choosing to praise Him before they come?

Should Christian parents ever remove a child from their will? And is an inheritance something children are entitled to—or something parents are responsible to steward before God? In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastor Josh reacts to a viral Dave Ramsey conversation with a Christian mother wrestling with whether to leave an inheritance to her adult children. From there, he tackles the deeper biblical questions behind the controversy: stewardship, generational resentment, school choices, socialism, and what parents should do when their children walk away from the values and faith they were raised to embrace. This isn't about creating a one-size-fits-all rule. It's about learning to think biblically about money, family, responsibility, grace, and the legacy we leave behind. In this episode, you'll learn: Whether children are biblically entitled to an inheritance How stewardship should shape the way Christians think about wealth Why Christian parents should think carefully about education and discipleship How Pastor Josh evaluates socialism from a biblical worldview Why inheritance decisions shouldn't be driven by anger or revenge How grace and generosity factor into decisions about a rebellious child How Josh and Jana are approaching inheritance in their own family Stand firm.

Have you ever started a weight loss journey feeling so motivated? You clean out the pantry. You plan your meals. You decide you're going to work out five days a week. And for the first few days, you are ALL in. You're feeling proud. You're sticking to the plan. You're convinced, “This time is going to be different.” And then…life happens. The scale doesn't move as quickly as you hoped. You miss a workout. You eat something that wasn't on your plan. Maybe you have a stressful day, a busy weekend, or you simply get tired of trying to be “perfect.” And suddenly, that motivation you were counting on is gone. But what if I told you the problem isn't that you can't stay motivated? What if the problem is that you're expecting motivation to carry you through a plan that was never realistic to begin with? Because when your expectations don't match your real life, disappointment is almost inevitable. You feel discouraged. You feel like you failed. And before you know it, you're telling yourself, “I'll start again Monday.” And that's how the cycle continues. So today, I want to talk about three unrealistic expectations that could be keeping you stuck in the start-over cycle. Because this may not be a motivation problem at all. It may be an expectation problem. And once you can recognize these three expectations, you can start approaching weight loss in a completely different way—one that actually works with your life instead of requiring you to constantly start over. So let's dive into the three expectations that might be keeping you stuck. And if you know you need more accountability and support as you work through this, I'd love to have you join us inside my Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free. And if you're ready for more personalized support, I also offer one-on-one coaching. I'd love to help you stop feeling like you have to keep starting over and instead build the confidence, habits, and freedom to finally move toward your goals in a way that lasts.  Email me at taraj@dietditching.com or come over to my website, www.dietditching.com to learn more about me and what I offer.

What happens when compassion begins to override truth and justice? And how should Christians respond when a tragic national story becomes a deeply emotional cultural debate? In this bonus episode of LIVE FREE, Pastor Josh examines the national conversation surrounding the Lindsey Clancy case and uses it as a starting point for a biblical discussion about justice, moral responsibility, feminism, toxic empathy, and the danger of allowing emotion or ideology to determine what is right and wrong. But this conversation doesn't end with judgment. Josh turns to the gospel and the radical truth that God's grace is available even to those guilty of the most devastating sins. Christians are called to hold justice and compassion together—refusing to compromise truth while never forgetting the forgiveness offered through Jesus. In this episode, you'll learn: How Christians can view cultural events through the lens of Scripture What the Bible teaches about justice and moral responsibility How ideology can cause people to choose sides instead of pursuing truth The difference between biblical compassion and toxic empathy Why emotion should never override truth or justice How Scripture addresses deception and cultural influence Why the gospel offers grace and forgiveness even in the face of horrific sin Stand firm.

No man can serve two masters. Yet we long for freedom. Truth is our access to freedom. And the only way to freedom is through the actual Truth, which is Our Lord Jesus Christ. The world tempts all of us with false freedom. Our Lord promises only the true path to true freedom.

Strong marriages aren't built on love alone. They also require understanding.

Predestination. Election. Free will. Calvinism. Arminianism. Few theological conversations generate more questions—or stronger opinions. So what does the Bible actually say, and how should Christians respond when faithful believers reach different conclusions? Pastors Carlos and Paul begin in 2 Timothy 2 with a practical conversation about spiritual grit, discipline, and the difference between simply trying to follow Jesus and intentionally training to become more like Him. Then they dive into one of Christianity's most debated subjects: how God's sovereignty, election, human responsibility, salvation, and evangelism fit together. Rather than ignoring the difficult passages or pretending every mystery has an easy answer, they examine the tension Scripture itself presents and explain why Christians can hold strong convictions without allowing secondary theological disagreements to divide them. In this episode: • What the soldier, athlete, and farmer teach us about following Jesus  • Why spiritual growth requires rhythms and relationships  • What “election” and “predestination” actually mean  • The difference between Calvinism and Arminianism  • How God's sovereignty and human responsibility fit together  • Whether predestination means God chooses people for hell  • Who Jesus died for and the debate over limited atonement  • Why belief in election should never weaken evangelism  • How Christians can disagree strongly without dividing  • Why difficult theology should ultimately produce humility, gratitude, and greater trust in God Stand firm.

Anthony O'Neal, had $6.32 to his name on a Wednesday night. He needed gas. He was hungry. He ended up cutting two McDonald's double cheeseburgers in half — that was his food for the next two days. He diluted his sweet tea with water to stretch it. And in that moment, eating a cold half-burger in his apartment, something shifted in him. He thought: there has to be a better way.Fast forward to his fortieth birthday. Anthony is on a private yacht off the coast of Italy. The chef comes out mid-dinner, not just to ask how the fish is — but to offer to catch that same fish again for him tomorrow. And Anthony thought back to that Wednesday night, that half-burger, that $6.32 — and he realized: he had found the better way.Anthony O'Neal is a bestselling author, speaker, and host of The Table with AO.

What should Christians do when a viral accusation against a pastor suddenly takes over the internet? Believe it? Share it? Defend the pastor? Or stay out of it entirely? In this bonus episode of the LIVE FREE Podcast, Pastors Josh, Carlos, and Paul unpack the viral criticism surrounding Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell and use it to address a much bigger issue: how Christians should respond to accusations, online mobs, and criticism of spiritual leaders. The conversation explores the biblical tension between holding pastors accountable and refusing to participate in gossip, slander, or unverified accusations. This isn't an argument that pastors are above accountability. Scripture takes the character of spiritual leaders seriously—but it also takes false accusations seriously. Pastors Josh, Carlos, and Paul examine biblical examples from Jesus, Paul, Stephen, Nehemiah, and the early church to help Christians discern what they're seeing online before joining the mob. In this episode, you'll learn: How Christians should respond to viral accusations against pastors Why Scripture requires evidence before entertaining an accusation against an elder The difference between biblical accountability and online slander How criticism can become a distraction from God's calling Why Christians must be careful about what they believe, repeat, and share How to support and pray for pastors facing public criticism Stand firm.

In Episode 90 of the LIVE FREE Podcast, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham uncover surprising lessons hidden inside some of the Bible passages we usually skim—including the stories of Mark, Demas, Rufus, and Quartus. Their lives reveal powerful truths about failure, restoration, friendship, legacy, and lifelong faithfulness. The conversation also gets intensely practical: Who are the people carrying your mat when you're struggling? Is it biblical to pray for God's judgment on someone? And why does Scripture teach that Christians can approach God directly through Jesus? In this episode, you'll learn: Why seemingly insignificant names in Scripture actually matter What Mark and Demas teach us about failure and finishing well How to intentionally build a band of brothers or sisters Why Christian friendship requires encouragement and confrontation How Christians can pray for enemies while still asking God for justice Why Jesus alone is our mediator before God How to keep your eyes centered on Christ throughout your life Don't simply start the race—finish faithfully. Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.

Tom Logue - August 16th 2026 What we value shapes who we are, how we live, and what we do—so what deserves to be at the center? Every person, every family, and every church has values. Not just the values we claim on paper, but the things that actually shape the way we live. And as Restored Church begins a new series exploring Who We Are, we're starting with the value that everything else revolves around: the gospel of Jesus. But the gospel can become so familiar that we forget what it actually means for our lives. It isn't advice about how to become a better person or a religious system for earning God's approval. It's joyful good news about what Jesus has already done: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. And if that news is true, it changes everything. How we understand our failures. Where we find our worth. How we face fear, insecurity, suffering, work, relationships, and even our own sin. The gospel isn't simply something Christians believe when they first come to Jesus. It's the truth we never move on from.

What if the woman you've been striving so hard to become...is the woman God already says you are? Think about that for a second. So many women live with the belief, "I'll be more confident when I lose the weight." Or, "I'll finally start serving once I feel comfortable in my body." Maybe you've even told yourself, "When I reach my goal weight, then I'll believe I'm enough." But what if those thoughts have been keeping you stuck? The truth is, the enemy loves to convince us that our identity is always one achievement away. One smaller clothing size. One lower number on the scale. One more accomplishment. Because as long as we're chasing a future version of ourselves, we're distracted from living in the identity God has already given us. Friend, your worth was never something you had to earn. Your confidence doesn't come from your body—it comes from Christ. Your purpose isn't waiting for you at your goal weight. And your calling has never depended on fitting into your old jeans. Today, we're talking about what it really means to become the woman God created you to be—not someday, not after you lose 20 pounds, but right now. Because when you begin living from your God-given identity instead of striving to earn it, everything changes...including the way you approach your health. Before we dive in, I want to invite you to something special. On September 2nd, I'm hosting a FREE live workshop on Zoom where we'll talk about how to finally break free from the exhausting start-over cycle with food and weight loss. If you're tired of starting over every Monday, every month, or every season, this workshop is for you. You'll learn practical, faith-based strategies to help you build lasting freedom instead of relying on willpower. And if you're looking for encouragement throughout the week, come join our free Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free. It's a place where women encourage one another, grow in their faith, and pursue healthy living without obsession. Finally, if you're ready for personalized support and accountability, I'd love to walk alongside you through my Ditch the Diet one-on-one coaching program. You can reach me anytime at taraj@dietditching.com. Now, let's dive into today's episode.

What if spiritual warfare isn't only personal—but can also influence entire cultures and nations? In this candid and provocative conversation, Pastors Josh, Carlos, and Paul explore how sin and spiritual deception can work their way into societal structures, cultural values, and public policy. They examine religious liberty, immigration, competing belief systems, and the responsibility of Christians to recognize values that conflict with Scripture. This episode is not about viewing people as the enemy. It is about remembering that “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood” and learning to identify the spiritual forces and ideas shaping the world around us. In this episode, you'll learn: Why spiritual warfare can be both personal and societal How sin can become embedded within cultures and institutions What Deuteronomy 32 may reveal about nations and spiritual powers Why shared religious values matter within a society How Christians can oppose unbiblical ideas without treating people as enemies Why believers must recognize the enemy's schemes and stand firmly on God's Word Stand firm. Think biblically. Live free.

Spiritual warfare is real—but what does the Bible actually teach about fighting it? In this episode, Pastors Josh, Carlos, and Paul break down the armor of God piece by piece and show how truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, the gospel, Scripture, and prayer help believers stand firm against the enemy's schemes. They also explore where Satan came from, whether he can read your thoughts, and how Christians should evaluate dramatic spiritual manifestations and deliverance ministries. This conversation offers a biblical framework that avoids both fear-driven superstition and dismissive cynicism, pointing listeners back to Jesus, Scripture, repentance, and lasting fruit. In this episode, you'll learn: What each piece of the armor of God means and how to put it on Why prayer is the often-forgotten culmination of Ephesians 6 What Scripture suggests about Satan's origin, authority, and limitations Whether the enemy can read your mind How to test spiritual experiences and claims of deliverance biblically Why lasting repentance and the fruit of the Spirit matter more than emotional intensity Stand firm.
