God gave you one physical body so you can live, move, and breathe, and He gave you a vital resource to fuel it––food. But because of damaging diet culture and pervasive body-shaming messages, it can be hard to have a relaxing, enjoyable relationship with food. Today we have nutritionist Meredyth Fletcher joining us, who believes that your perspective on food is directly impacted by your view of God, and in The (Good) Food Solution, she will help you shift any distorted perceptions on food to see it, not as a burden, but as a gift from God to nourish your body.

What IS abuse? What if someone didn't mean to cause harm? How does Matthew 18 apply when abuse is happening? Are we supposed to stay in community with our abuser?

Would you know if someone were abusing you? “I didn’t know the cycle of abuse, or that it’s normal to feel guilt for something that’s not your fault, to have complex emotions about your abuser as you heal. I learned that I could set boundaries, choose not to reconcile, and still pursue the internal freedom of forgiveness.” – Tricia Lott Williford

Notes:
SEXUAL ABUSESexual abuse in marriage is any form of sexual acts that uses force, trickery, or manipulation.
Sexual abuse can look like withholding sex as a form of punishment. The abuser might refuse or threaten to remove sex if they don’t get their way. Withholding sex is a weapon to establish or maintain dominance. Using sex as a weapon to control is sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse can also look like marital rape. Any time one spouse is not in agreement or has not willingly engaged in a sexual act, it is rape. It is any sexual act committed against a spouse’s will. The abuser may use physical force, threats of force, or psychological force, fear, or manipulation to engage in marital rape. 1 in 10 spouses are raped by their spouse. Any sexual act should be mutually consented - any time it is not, it is sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse may also look like criticizing your physical appearance. Abusers might use offensive language about your body or your physical appearance. Abusers might use offensive language about your body or your appearance to undermine your self-worth. This is not love, it is a form of sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse might also look like unwanted aggression during sexual acts. Hitting, choking, or using any type of force is also sexual abuse.
SPIRITUAL ABUSE
Spiritual abuse is using Scripture, biblical concepts or belief systems to control, manipulate, or enforce power over anot
