Moved by HimTake Back Your Health From Ultra-Processed Food CompaniesUltra-processed food companies are out to get your health. Why? Because their profits depend on your addiction to their products. In this two-part series on "why big food loves the death of the homemaker," I am discussing the rise in the production and valuation of big food that has directly correlated with the decline in homemaking and home cooking. This is a trend that has been happening for well over 50 years now, but has been spiking in recent decades. Ultimately we have fallen away from God's design and been ensnared by the addictive flavors of ultra-processed food...2024-06-1827 minMoved by HimWhy Big Food Loves the Death of the Homemaker (And Home Cooking)Join me for a juicy culture chat on how ultra-processed food companies are profiting off the lack of homemaking and home cooking that is happening in the modern day.

Fueled by a desire to work outside the home, fewer women are stepping into the role of homemaking and with strapped time, many families are relying on big food to feed them.This shift away from whole...2024-06-1132 minMoved by HimWork vs. Rest in God [What Mary and Martha Teach Us in Luke 10:38-42]How are we to know when to take servant action and when to embrace worshipful rest?

While they both seemed to have positive intention, their heart posture was very different, and this impacted the way that they reacted to the presence of God in the...2024-05-2930 minMoved by HimSo How Bad Are Seed Oils? God Made Seeds, but Did He Intend for Us to Use Seed Oils?Cutting out seed oils is all the rage these days, but is it really justified? Some health experts claim that the inflammatory impact of seed oils is to blame for many of the health issues in the U.S., as seed oil consumption has increased exponentially over the last century. Originally used to lubricate machinery and make candles, seed oils crept into our diets starting in the early 1900s and they are now found in nearly all packaged foods.

(A Conversation on the Sabbath)The world tells us that doing more and hustling harder will lead to the life of our dreams. If you just had more stuff and more significance from all your accomplishments, life would be fulfilling. But this runs counter to God's Word. While God calls us to work, He also calls us to rest. The Old Testament is full of God-given rules about keeping a Sabbath, and while we no longer function under the Levitical Law, Jesus set many beautiful examples of resting and praying to His Father.
