## Resource

You love God. You pray. You know His Word. And you still can't figure out your food. This episode is for the woman who has wondered — quietly, maybe shamefully — if her struggle with weight means something is wrong with her faith. It doesn't. In this episode, Denise shares why loving Jesus isn't the missing piece… and what actually is. You'll learn why food rules are creating the very problem you're trying to solve, why your brain seeks food when it feels deprived or unsafe, and what it actually looks like to surrender your food and weight to the Lord. Not with more willpower. Not with more prayer. But with the right tools.
