Podcasts about Purity

Peptides are everywhere right now. They're one of the hottest topics in the health and fitness space, but there's a side of the industry that most people aren't talking about. I break down some recent findings on gray market research peptides and why the results were alarming, even if they weren't entirely surprising. The reality is that this remains a largely unregulated industry where consumers are often forced to trust vendors without knowing what's actually inside the vial. During my own research and due diligence, I was shocked to discover that some well-known peptide suppliers either don't test their products at all or rely on basic in-house testing methods that leave plenty of room for error. I also share why we decided to launch Ethos Bio Labz for research purposes only. The goal wasn't to create another company jumping on the peptide trend. It was to solve a problem I kept seeing with clients who had no reliable way to verify the quality, purity, or accuracy of what they were purchasing. Most importantly, this is not a sales pitch. Whether you ever choose to do peptide research or not, my goal is to help you become a more informed consumer. I walk through what third-party testing actually means, what questions you should be asking before purchasing from any company, and why transparency matters. I also discuss something many people in the peptide space won't say out loud: not every peptide deserves the hype. While some have promising research behind them, others simply don't have enough quality data yet to justify the claims being made online. My commitment is to give you the truth as I see it, not just tell you what people want to hear. If you've been curious about peptides, considering peptide research, or simply want to understand what's really happening behind the scenes, this conversation will help you separate fact from fiction.   15% off your first order coupon code: pod15 Ethos Website: www.ethosbiolabz.com   Peptide Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11582493/ Impurity Profiling Study: view here   Next Level Links: Work With a Nutrition Coach - Schedule A Consultation Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

There are moments in the writings of St. Isaac the Syrian where one realizes that what he is speaking about is not “religion” as we commonly understand it at all. He is not concerned with external religiosity, spiritual image, theological sophistication, emotional experiences, or moral performance. He speaks instead about the transformation of the human being into a living place of divine communion. The entire struggle of the ascetic life is directed toward one thing: purity of heart. Not moralism. Not perfectionism. Purity. And purity for Isaac is not primarily about behavior. It is about vision. “The pure in heart shall see God.” The Fathers understood this literally. The heart darkened by distraction, anger, judgment, vanity, endless speech, lust, resentment, self-construction, and immersion in the noise of the world loses the capacity to perceive reality as it truly is. Man ceases to remember God because he has become filled with himself. The tragedy is not simply that we sin. The tragedy is that the heart becomes opaque. Heavy. Fragmented. Unable to behold the Kingdom already present within it. Isaac speaks with terrifying clarity here: “He who restrains his mouth from speech guards his heart from the passions.” Modern man speaks endlessly because he cannot bear silence. We drown ourselves in commentary, analysis, outrage, explanations, arguments, entertainment, notifications, and noise because silence threatens the ego. Silence exposes the inward chaos we spend our lives trying to conceal. But Isaac tells us something almost unbearable: the mysteries of God become visible only in stillness. A wrathful heart cannot behold the mysteries of the Kingdom because wrath keeps the self at the center of reality. A judgmental man may speak about theology endlessly and yet remain entirely estranged from the life of God. A proud man may appear religious and still dwell inwardly in darkness. Why? Because the Kingdom is not perceived through brilliance but through purity. This is why Isaac places such immense emphasis upon guarding the tongue, fleeing gossip, withdrawing from quarrels, avoiding angry speech, and refusing distraction. He is not prescribing pious behavior merely for the sake of morality. He understands something we do not: every movement of the soul either clarifies the heart or darkens it. And so Isaac speaks of continuous remembrance of God. Not occasional remembrance. Not Sunday remembrance. Not remembrance during emotional prayer alone. Continuous remembrance. The modern mind hears this and immediately turns it into technique. But Isaac is not describing a method so much as an identity. Man was created to live in continual orientation toward God. Prayer is not an activity added onto life. Prayer is life restored to its natural condition. This is why Isaac says: “That which befalls a fish out of water, befalls the mind that has come out of the remembrance of God.” What a terrifying image. We imagine ourselves spiritually neutral when we live immersed in distraction, noise, anxiety, worldly conversation, vanity, and continual mental agitation. Isaac says otherwise. The soul outside remembrance gasps for life without understanding why it is suffocating. And this is precisely the condition of modern man. We are overstimulated yet inwardly deadened. Connected constantly yet unable to descend into the heart. Religious perhaps, but incapable of stillness. Surrounded by information while starving for theoria. Isaac uses that extraordinary image of the dolphin moving through the calm sea. When the sea of the heart becomes still from wrath and agitation, divine mysteries begin moving within the soul. The Kingdom is not absent. The heart is simply too turbulent to perceive it. This is why the Fathers fled distraction so fiercely. Not because they hated the world. But because they desired reality. And reality, Isaac tells us, is infinitely more luminous than the fantasies by which we continually feed ourselves. The terrifying thing is that modern people often imagine remembrance of God to be restrictive. In truth, distraction is the prison. Remembrance is freedom. The man who remembers God continually gradually becomes transparent to divine life. His thoughts change. His speech changes. His desires change. His vision changes. Mercy begins appearing naturally. Humility deepens. Judgment weakens. The passions lose their violence because the soul has found greater beauty. Isaac's vision is nothing less than transfiguration. The purified heart becomes Heaven itself. Not symbolically. Actually. “Lo, Heaven is within you.” The human person becomes a living icon of the Kingdom. The mysteries cease being abstractions and become life. The soul begins beholding Christ “at every moment.” Not through imagination, but through participation. Through communion. Through the gradual purification of the inner man. This is why the saints seem luminous to us. Not because they became extraordinary personalities, but because they ceased obstructing the Radiance of God within them. And Isaac insists that this path is deeply practical. Guard the tongue. Flee distraction. Withdraw from useless speech. Avoid judgment. Remain in remembrance. Practice silence. Study God continually. Refuse the fragmentation of the passions. Seek meekness. Seek humility. Seek hiddenness. Not as legalism. But because every movement either opens the heart toward the Kingdom or closes it inwardly upon itself. The modern world trains us in continual forgetfulness. The ascetic life trains us in remembrance. And remembrance gradually becomes vision. Then prayer ceases being something we “do” and becomes the atmosphere in which the soul breathes. At the center of Isaac's vision lies something fierce and beautiful: man was created not merely to think about God, but to behold Him within the heart and become radiant with His life in the world. This is the true meaning of purity. Not moral self-consciousness. But transparency to divine life. Not religious performance. But the gradual emergence of Heaven within the human heart. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:18:52 Una: Father, do you know much about Saint Nikiphorus the Leper? 00:19:03 Una: Perhaps a saint for the disabled 00:19:10 Una: My mike isn't working 00:20:33 Bob Čihák, AZ: Remember, in these texts, “men” means all humans, “men and women.” 00:23:23 Una: Reacted to "Remember, in these..." with

We challenge the way we talk about the Holy Spirit by reframing fire as God's confirmation rather than our performance or a Sunday-only moment. We leave with a clear responsibility to tend the flame through surrender, purity, and steady daily obedience. • The Holy Spirit brings the fire while we bring the sacrifice • The meaning of all flame as being consumed by God's presence • Leviticus 9 and why fire signals approval and confirmation • Recognising that not everything burning has God's approval • Asking what interference crowds out the flame • Trimming the wick as a picture of removing buildup and neglect • Choosing consistency over intensity through daily maintenance • Refusing to chase the effects of fire without responsibility • Pentecost as a mobile altar and an internalised temple life • Purity as wholeheartedness and removing competitors for his affection 

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – Propaganda multiplies the effect. Foreign broadcasters, hostile regimes, and ideologues amplify grievances and blur truth. Purity politics and virtue signaling make belief a credential. Once people feel moral bankruptcy awaits them unless they accept contested claims, they become immune to evidence. That is the moment when rhetoric can tip into violence...

Al, Zach, Lisa, and Jill reflect on family, testimony, and the long road from hidden pain to generational blessing. Zach looks back on raising strong-willed sons in a culture that often treats boldness and conviction like liabilities, and he reflects on seeing those same traits shaped by faith, counsel, and maturity. Al and Lisa discuss watching their story come to life, including the physical weight of reliving betrayal, trauma, forgiveness, and redemption on-screen. Full circle family moments come together to show that shame loses its grip when families tell the truth, let God heal what was broken, and refuse to pass old pain to the next generation.

Confidence. Modesty. Purity culture. Femininity. Being “sexy.” Whew… yeah, the Aunties went THERE.

In this episode, Kaleb shares his perspective on our age-gap relationship, and honestly… it was such a sweet and vulnerable conversation. We talked about what it was like dating someone older, navigating different life stages, and handling outside opinions while trying to build a healthy, God-centered relationship. We also opened up about purity, past relationships, healing from trauma, and how grace completely changed the way we approached each other's stories. Kaleb shares why ambition, accountability, and emotional maturity mattered more to him than age, and we talk honestly about what to look for before pursuing an age-gap relationship. We also got real about marriage, career dreams, law school, social media pressures, and learning how to grow with each other instead of expecting perfection from day one. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that your past does not define you, God's grace is bigger than your mistakes, and every relationship story is going to look different. And that's okay!

What if purity culture is not ultimately about morality, but belonging? Brandon Cook explores the inner psychology beneath political, religious, and personal purity systems, revealing how anxiety, inner critics, and the longing for connection shape our lives. He argues that unhurriedness, beauty, and "glimmers" help us transcend binaries and rediscover belovedness.

Pastor Jason unpacks the sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira from Acts 4-5, challenging us to drop the mask of spiritual performance and embrace radical honesty in Christian community. Hypocrisy still kills today—not always immediately, but over time—destroying marriages, friendships, and faith. God's grace is abundant, but sin still matters deeply to Him, and the church thrives when we confess our struggles rather than hide behind appearances of having it all together.

In this episode, we dive deep into the historical and psychological drivers of political polarization with Dr. Allison Ralph, head of Cohesion Strategy.Allison shares how ancient metaphors, like the "body politic," are still being used today to justify othering and the dangerous trend of social purification. We move beyond the idea of "mushy middle" dialogue to discuss productive conflict—the essential, often difficult work of building pluralistic solutions and strategic coalitions even when we fundamentally disagree.If you've ever felt that bridging divides feels like a "kumbaya" fantasy, this conversation is for you. We explore why action-based bridging and collective action are the most powerful tools we have for increasing community trust and protecting our democracy.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Josh, Michael, and Evan welcome ministry assistant Jennifer Heltsley to the table for her first appearance on the show. The crew kicks things off with a hilarious game called “First Date or Youth Camp,” filled with stories and observations about camp crushes, emotional conversations, matching hoodies, and the unforgettable chaos of student ministry summers. Jennifer jumps right into the fun while also sharing some honest and encouraging perspectives throughout the episode. The conversation then shifts into a deeper discussion surrounding Michael's sermon on purity, relationships, and the picture of Christ cleansing His bride. The group reflects on marriage roles, integrity, sanctification, and how purity impacts every relationship in life, not just romantic ones. There's a strong emphasis on God changing desires from the inside out, the importance of living with integrity in everyday moments, and how genuine purity becomes a witness to the world around us. The episode closes with excitement for upcoming camps, mission trips, and the next message in the series from Cliff Hines.

The Daily Philip is a devotion of prayer to the Patron Saint of Joy, St. Philip Neri, led by Fr. Malone, parochial vicar of Christ the Redeemer Parish in Swift Current. This devotion has four parts: (1) a daily prayer for a particular virtue, based on the day of the week, to which Pope Pius IX has attached an indulgence (dated May 17, 1852,); (2) a reading from The Life of St. Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome; (3) a quote from The Maxims and Counsels of St. Philip Neri; and (4) the daily prayer for a good death.    For Tuesday Prayer to obtain the virtue of Purity. St. Philip, who didst always preserve the white lily of thy purity unsullied, with such great honour to thyself that the brightness of this fair virtue dwelt in thine eyes, shone forth from thy hands, and cast its fragrance over thy whole body, causing it to emit so sweet a perfume that it gave consolation, fervour, and devotion to all who conversed with thee; obtain me from the Holy Spirit of God so true a love for that virtue, that neither the words nor bad examples of sinners may ever make any impression upon my soul.  Never permit me in any way to lose that lovely virtue; and since avoidance of occasions, prayer, labour, humility, frequent use of the Sacraments, were the arms with which thou didst conquer the flesh, which is our worst enemy, so do thou obtain for me grace to use the same arms to vanquish the same foe.  Take not away thy help from me; but be as zealous for me as thou wast during thy life for thy penitents, keeping them far removed from all sensual infection.  Do this for me, my holy Patron; and be ever my protector in respect of this fair virtue. Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory Be…   Prayer to be said daily, for a good death. O glorious Saint Philip, faithful helper of thy dying children, be thou my father and protector in the hour of my death. Let not the devil overcome me; let not temptation oppress me, nor fear overwhelm me in that hour; but grant through thy intercession that, fortified by faith, hope, and charity, I may bear all things with patience and perseverance, and may happily die the death of the just. Amen.

Why do we keep dividing the world into "us" and "them"? This episode explores purity culture as the hidden force shaping our religion, politics, and identity—offering certainty and belonging while quietly distorting reality. To move toward unitive centrism, we must first name the systems that keep us stuck.

On today's episode of The Last Days Podcast we hear from Pastors Todd & Katie IN 4K about how purity is essential to the life of a Christian and the process that it takes to walk in that.Purity doesn't come naturally, it is something that is intentional and must be brought about by a surrender to God and His character and word. However, when you fully surrender to Him you will see Him move in your life POWERFULLY and MIGHTLY because He can trust you.The questions is, do you trust God enough to fully surrender?

What if almost everything you were taught about Old Testament purity laws was wrong?Most Christians hear "impurity" and immediately think sin. We've been taught that the purity system was about moral failure, that sacrifice was primitive and empty, and that Jesus came to sweep the whole oppressive thing away. Dr. Jonathan Klawans, Professor of Religion and Jewish Studies at Boston University, says we've collapsed two completely different categories into one confused mess, and it's been distorting how we read the Bible for centuries.In this conversation, Dr. Klawans walks us through the critical distinction between ritual impurity and moral impurity, two systems the Hebrew Bible treats as entirely separate. Ritual impurity comes from things like childbirth, menstruation, and touching a corpse. These aren't sins. They're natural, unavoidable, sometimes even commanded. Moral impurity is something else entirely: idolatry, sexual transgression, bloodshed. These defile the land, pollute the Temple, and if left unaddressed, drive out God's presence.We dig into why the prophets weren't rejecting sacrifice but calling out theft and injustice. We explore how sacrifice functioned as imitatio Dei, the imitation of God, from the careful shepherding of unblemished animals to the priest examining the kidneys and heart. We discuss how both Christian and Jewish traditions have imposed later theological frameworks onto ancient texts, and what it costs us when we do. And we ask the hard question: What was Jesus actually doing when he interacted with purity and the Temple?Dr. Klawans is the author of four books with Oxford University Press, including the award-winning Impurity and Sin in Ancient Judaism and Purity, Sacrifice, and the Temple. In this episode, you will learn:- The difference between ritual impurity and moral impurity and why conflating them causes so much confusion- Why becoming ritually impure was sometimes unavoidable and even commanded- How moral impurity defiles the land and the Temple, and what happens when it goes unaddressed- What the prophets were actually criticizing when they seemed to reject sacrifice- How sacrifice functioned as imitatio Dei, imitating God through the entire process- The role of sacrifice in attracting and maintaining God's presence- How supersessionist frameworks (both Christian and Jewish) distort our reading of ancient sources- What really happened to Judaism after the Temple's destruction in 70 AD- How to understand Jesus's interactions with purity and the TempleBOOKS:Purity, Sacrifice, and the Temple: https://a.co/d/0bXkmvkjImpurity and Sin in Ancient Judaism: https://www.amazon.com/Impurity-Ancient-Judaism-Jonathan-Klawans/dp/0195177657Boston University Faculty Page: https://www.bu.edu/religion/faculty/jonathan-klawans/STAY CONNECTED:Website: johnnyova.comSubscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaThe Revelation Reset: https://www.amazon.com/Revelation-Reset-Reclaiming-Optimistic-Eschatology-ebook/dp/B0D2TXFX3J

Matthew 5:27-30 andHeidelberg Catechism, Lord's Day 41

Brother David speaks on the purity of God and His word, and explains how we should use the word as the standard for our lives

Paul reminds us that our bodies are not our own, but temples of the Holy Spirit. This message explores freedom, holiness, and what it truly means to honor God with our lives.

What does it actually mean to live a blessed life? Most people think blessing looks like comfort, success, and approval — but Jesus completely flips that idea upside down.In this message from Matthew 5:7–12, Pastor Mark Cummins walks through the final Beatitudes and reveals four practical, life-changing principles that define what it looks like to truly follow Jesus — not just on the surface, but from the inside out.Here's what we unpack in this message:1. Mirror God's Mercy to Others Bitterness feels like punishment for someone else — but it's actually a prison you build for yourself. The blessed life has open hands, not clenched fists. When you've been forgiven much, you're freed to forgive much.2. Daily Surrender Yourself to God God isn't interested in your highlight reel. He's after your heart. Purity isn't about perfection — it's about undivided devotion. And the parts of yourself you keep hiding are the parts He can't heal.3. Promote the Peace of God You don't win people by winning arguments. Peacemakers aren't people who avoid conflict — they're people who refuse to add fuel to fires Jesus already died to put out.4. Focus on Eternity, Living for Christ Today Persecution isn't a sign you're doing something wrong — it might be a sign you're doing something right. When you live for the applause of heaven, you stop needing the approval of people.Whether you're burned out from people-pleasing, stuck in unforgiveness, or wrestling with whether following Jesus is really worth the cost — this message is for you.

In this powerful episode of Round Trip Death, host Eric Bennett welcomes Tammy Julien, who shares a Near Death Experience (NDE) she kept hidden for nearly 40 years.During a home birth gone wrong, Tammy hemorrhaged and found herself outside her body — watching the emergency unfold below while feeling absolute peace and love.Her NDE took her through extraordinary encounters of love and compassion. "The love was going into the Earth."After returning, Tammy spent decades quietly integrating her NDE experience into everyday life, finding few people who could relate to what she had witnessed. Over time she channeled her NDE into a spiritual practice — guiding others into deep presence, writing, and following the same inner voice that has intervened in her life since childhood.Her closing message from her NDE is simple: we are never truly alone, invisible support surrounds us always, and the breath is the most direct path back to that truth.Video Version of This EpisodeRoundTripDeath.comDonate to this podcast: https://www.roundtripdeath.com/support/Tammy: https://heartofcompassion.ca/

Welcome to the Celestial Insights Podcast, the show that brings the stars down to Earth! Each week, astrologer, coach, and intuitive Celeste Brooks of Astrology by Celeste will be your guide. Her website is astrologybyceleste.com.  

Madi opens up about the hidden struggles we try to keep buried… the thoughts, habits, fears, and sins we hope no one sees. But Psalm 139 reminds us of something powerful: God already knows every part of us, and He still invites us closer. So why do we keep hiding? Why do we carry shame instead of surrendering it?   This episode dives into David's prayer: "Search me, God, and know my heart," and what it looks like to honestly invite God into the places we try to avoid. Because conviction from God isn't meant to condemn you… it's meant to heal you.   In this conversation, Madi talks about: -Why hidden sin keeps us stuck in shame -What it means to let God search your heart -How God creates a clean and pure heart through surrender -Why freedom begins with honesty before God   My prayer is that you would stop hiding, let God into the deepest parts of your heart, and experience the freedom, healing, and purity only He can bring.

A pure heart brings clarity, peace, and a deeper connection with God, as reflected in Psalm 51:10. Spiritual renewal isn’t about restriction—it’s about experiencing the freedom and joy that come from living in alignment with God’s design. This devotional compares spiritual growth to cleaning a home: it may feel uncomfortable at first, but it’s necessary for health and peace. When we invite God to remove unhealthy attitudes and behaviors, He doesn’t just clean us up—He renews us from within. Purity isn’t a burden to carry; it’s a gift that allows us to see God more clearly and live with greater focus, stability, and joy in everyday life. Highlights Spiritual “cleaning” is essential for a healthy, thriving faith God actively helps renew your heart—you’re not doing it alone Holiness is a blessing that protects, not a burden that restricts A pure heart leads to clarity, peace, and deeper connection with God Letting go of sin creates space for joy and spiritual growth Consistent renewal builds a steadfast, focused spirit Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: A Pure Heart Is a BlessingBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” – Psalm 51:10, NIV Every year when I spring clean my home physically, I ask God to help me do spiritual spring cleaning – to clean up my soul. When I clean my home regularly throughout the year, I also often pray for God’s help to get rid of messy attitudes or behaviors, and to blow the fresh air of renewal into my life. It definitely feels like a chore to do physical cleaning. Getting rid of trash, mopping floors, washing windows, and all the other boring and dirty tasks involved in cleaning a house aren’t pleasant. But they’re necessary for living a physically healthy life. It can also feel like a chore to do spiritual cleaning, because it’s stressful to confess unhealthy attitudes and behaviors and to try to make better choices. However, it’s necessary to be spiritually healthy. Unlike with physical cleaning, I have help from God for spiritual cleaning, and that makes all the difference. I’m grateful that I can always succeed with spiritual cleaning – and even enjoy the process of it – because God is always willing to create more purity in my heart and to renew my spirit. Psalm 51:10 is a powerful prayer we can use to ask God to change our hearts for the better. When we’re willing to let God into the messy corners of our lives, he’ll remove the dirt that’s accumulated there and send us fresh help to grow in holiness. When we think about holiness, we may worry that pursuing it will be a chore that will restrict us from having fun or keep us working hard to reach a standard we can never achieve. But God wants us to live holy lives because doing so is truly good for us, and God will help us every step of the way. God wants us to have pure hearts because purity is a blessing, not a burden. God’s commandments for healthy and holy living are actually loving boundaries that protect us from being harmed by sin. Praying for a pure heart invites God to wipe away the dirt of sin from our souls so we can see God more clearly. As Jesus says in Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” The reward of purity is experiencing God! A pure heart helps us focus on what really matters most, so we’re not stressed and exhausted from being pulled in many different directions. It helps us realize that God’s ways aren’t meant to restrict us, but to free us to live in ways that help us notice and appreciate the wonder of God’s work in our lives every day. By living each day with a pure heart, we can stay focused on God and enjoy the blessings that God is constantly pouring into our lives. Developing a lifestyle of greater purity is like decluttering a messy room. At first, it might feel hard to let go of certain things. But as the room clears, we realize how stressful it really was to deal with so much clutter. We feel more peaceful in the room, because it’s a healthier space. When we let God help us clean up spiritually, we’ll also notice less stress and more peace in our lives. We’ll have the “steadfast spirit” that Psalm 51:10 mentions – a spirit that’s stronger and more focused, so we’re no longer tossed around by every temptation to sin that comes our way. A pure heart is a blessing, not a chore. It’s the gift of a heart at peace, because it’s the way God designed it to be: clean and whole! Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how it’s a blessing to have a pure heart, reflect on these questions: When you think of the word “holiness,” does it feel like a heavy burden or a beautiful invitation? Why do you think that is? Is there a specific kind of mess in your life right now (an unhealthy attitude or behavior) that’s making it hard for you to feel close to God? In Psalm 51:10, King David asks God to renew a “steadfast spirit” within him. In what areas of your faith do you feel most inconsistent right now? How can you ask God for help and rely on that help to be more steadfast in those areas? How do you want to change your life overall, with God’s help, to live with greater purity and holiness? What’s one small yet significant change you can start making right now to live with more purity in your heart every day?

Are you "being bad" for eating cake or looking for "guilt-free" foods? In this eye-opening episode, Heather Creekmore uncovers how modern diet culture has borrowed religious language—like sin, guilt, and temptation—and transformed eating into a moral battleground. Discover why labels like "clean eating" or "cheat days" aren't just diet lingo but clues to a whole alternate religion we unknowingly follow. You’ll walk away with a new perspective on the words and rules you’ve absorbed about food and body, and a biblically grounded reminder that God’s table is about grace, not judgment. Don’t miss this liberating conversation that will help you stop comparing and start living with joy and freedom at the dinner table. Join us as we: Break down the roots of food guilt and temptation language Examine what Scripture really says about food, pleasure, and purity Challenge the diet culture religion and reclaim the grace and freedom God intended Listen now—you’ll never hear the words "guilty pleasure" the same way again!

Notable Quotes "Diet culture is not just like a religion—it literally operates like one, complete with sin and temptation and confession and atonement and a promise of salvation if you can just get all the food and exercise rules right." (04:21) "The Bible says eat with gladness. God has already approved." (32:32) "Clean eating has borrowed its central metaphor, cleanliness, from a religious tradition that...the New Testament has moved on [from]."
