As John and I explained in Episode 3 of the INSURGENCE podcast, food is “the Christian’s drug.” In general, Christians in the West are addicted to food. We largely turn to food for comfort or out of boredom. We often eat the wrong things and this affects our minds and behaviors, not to mention our bodies.
In the above episode, we discuss different ways to break the unhealthy addiction (and misuse) of food.
This month (May 2019), I’m eating only one meal a day as an experiment for 30 days straight. Sugar will be completely eliminated as well. I’ve incorporated a few other restrictions that I’ll disclose when the smoke clears.
I’ll be recording my findings each day (including what I’m eating for the one meal), and I plan to write an article to my email list about my discoveries.
I expect to see dramatic physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental benefits from the program. But then again, it may just be one month of needless torture!
If you struggle with food, unproductively, or lack of motivation, I challenge you to create your own food experiment and see what happens.
(Note: I’m not recommending that you eat one meal a day, unless you desire to and have the approval of your doctor, especially if you are underweight and/or have a health issue.)
The gospel of the kingdom touches all things, including what we eat.
Observation: If a person can get a handle on their relationship with food, they can win many other battles in life.
