Ever wonder if fasting is the only food-related practice in Scripture? Or if there's more to how we, as Christians, are called to approach food and our relationship with it? This episode peels back the layers on a topic that diet culture has twisted and overlooked: biblical feasting.

In today’s episode, Brittany Braswell sits down with Anna Marie Long, RD, CEDS-C, to dive into how the Bible beautifully integrates food, faith, and gratitude in ways that can transform your mindset around food. From what Scripture really says about food practices to the ways Jesus modeled feasting, Anna Marie offers eye-opening insights for anyone wanting to step away from diet culture and step into a Christ-centered approach to eating.

A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include:
