## Resource

Many Christian moms are exhausted—not because they don’t care about their health, but because they’ve been living under rules God never gave them. Rules that say: • count and burn every calorie • eliminate entire food groups • chase skinny instead of strength • control your body to be “disciplined” • measure worth by numbers and appearance In this episode, Ingrid names the truth most women feel but rarely articulate: diet culture has discipled Christian women away from peace, freedom, and trust in God. Health was never meant to be separate from your walk with the Lord. And when it is, it becomes hard, defeating, and obsessive. This episode will help you: • recognize the rules shaping your health that didn’t come from Scripture • understand why letting go of control feels scary • see the difference between diet culture and biblical stewardship • release guilt, fear, and obsession around food and your body • begin surrendering your health to God as a way of life, not a diet This is not about giving up on your health. It’s about giving it back to God. You are allowed to let go of the rules the world gave you. You are allowed to stop chasing control. And you are allowed to walk in peace and freedom instead. 🔗 Next Step: Start Fresh on a Biblical Foundation If you’re ready to move forward—not with another diet, but with truth—I created a simple starting point just for you: 💪 A Mom’s Guide to God-Honoring Health Healthy Holy Momlife Starter Course — only $4.99 This course will help you: • step out of diet culture • view your body through Scripture, not shame • build faith-led health habits without extremes or guilt 👉 Get started at www.healthyholymomlife.com You don’t need to control your body to be faithful.
