As we celebrate the 4th of July, let's remember that true freedom isn't just found in fireworks and barbecues, but in feasting on the beauty of life with a heart rooted in gratitude.

Today, we’re talking about Chapter 8 of my Delay and Pray® book, a chapter that's all about one of the most joyful and misunderstood parts of our fasting rhythm: the feast.

We'll walk through the Eat Fast Feast cycle and consider a new mindset around feast days. Instead of binging or using food to numb emotions, true feasting becomes a deliberate, sacramental, moderate, and joyful act of honoring God.

I encourage you to embrace the true freedom found in Christ - the freedom to enjoy food without being enslaved by it.

I am a woman on a mission to help you trade sugar for sanctity, one bite and one prayer at a time.

Today, we’re diving into Chapter 7 of the Delay and Pray® book - and if I could title this episode anything else, it might be “Your Gut Is Not Just a Place for Digestion - It’s a Sacred Space.”

Because here’s the truth: our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and how we treat them matters. And in today’s culture, that sacred space is under attack … from the inside out.

Sugar will never satisfy. But the abundant life of Jesus will. This week’s episode might just change how you think about digestion, donuts, and what it means to truly “glorify God in your body” (1 Cor 6:19-20).

Today is all about imagining yourself at the dinner table with Jesus. What is being served?

The body of Jesus and your body. Really - that is what we will concentrate on in today’s episode and Chapter 6 of my book, Delay and Pray®.

I am inviting you to dinner - but not in the way you might expect. We’re talking about what I call “Dining In with Jesus.”

This is a powerful mindset and practice that will transform not only your body as you dine in on your fat stores but your soul, too, as you crave the Word of God and the Body of Christ in the Eucharist over eating anything else.

If you’ve ever struggled with intermittent fasting or felt like food had too much control in your life, this episode is for you.
