Growing up we were always encouraged to have a balanced diet, to eat healthy foods, and particularly our vegetables. So that we could grow big and strong.  

Remember the television commercials to eat "Wonder Bread", which helped to build strong bodies in 12 different ways?

We were also told to eat three meals a day, Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, with Breakfast being the most important meal of the day.   We were advised to stay away from junk food, for it wasn’t healthy. 

Some would eat too much, some would eat too little. Some would eat foods not good for the body.  Some would feast on junk food.

It was important how we related to food, so we wouldn’t develop an eating disorder, which is an imbalance in one’s intake of food. 

Anorexia and Bulimia are very serious eating disorders that occur when one does not properly relate to food. Eating disorders are serious. They can and do result in physical and emotional turmoil.

In this episode, we address  “Spiritual Eating Disorders”.  An unbalanced spiritual diet will result in a spiritual eating disorder.  

A spiritual eating disorder arises when one doesn't properly relate to God's word. Just as our physical bodies need nutritious food, our spirits require the nourishment of scripture. Failing to engage with the Bible can be compared to physical starvation and leads to spiritual weakness and stunted growth. 

Neglecting spiritual nourishment hinders your relationship with God and prevents spiritual growth. Without a consistent diet of God's word, you limit your understanding of His will and miss out on the guidance and strength He provides. 

Just as our physical bodies require food for energy and growth, our souls thrive on the "Bread of Heaven".
