Episode 158: Gluttony: The Sin We Don't Talk About in Church
Episode 158
Wednesday, 14 October, 2026
Gluttony: The Sin We Don't Talk About in ChurchWhen was the last time you heard a sermon about gluttony?We talk about pride, greed, lust, and drunkenness in the church, but somehow, gluttony rarely makes the conversation. And yet, Scripture has quite a bit to say about our appetites and what happens when something God created for our enjoyment begins to master us.In this first episode of my FILLED series, we're having an honest conversation about food, self-control, and surrender.And let me be clear: Gluttony doesn't have a body type. This isn't about your weight, eating dessert, or enjoying a big meal with your family. Food is a GOOD gift from God!But there's a difference between enjoying the gift and allowing it to become our god.We're also diving into the fascinating way God designed our bodies to recognize hunger and fullness, why whole foods tend to be more satisfying than ultra-processed foods, and how our modern food environment can make overeating easier.As a nutrition coach, I love teaching women how to nourish their bodies. But here's what I know:You cannot macro-track your way into holiness.This is about more than what we're putting on our plates. It's about what's happening in our hearts.In this episode, we'll explore:What Scripture actually teaches about gluttonyWhy gluttony isn't determined by body sizeHow God designed our hunger and fullness signalsThe difference between enjoying food and being mastered by itWhy discipline isn't legalismHow the Holy Spirit equips us to practice self-controlScripture referenced: 1 Corinthians 6:12, Proverbs 23:20–21, Philippians 3:19, Romans 12:1–2, 1 Timothy 4:4–5, and Galatians 5:22–23.The question I'm leaving you with:Have I surrendered my appetite to Jesus?Because food is a gift from God, but it was never intended to be our master.I don't simply want to be strong. I want to be surrendered.And that's exactly what we're talking about today.I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram: @livingonmissionpodEmail: rachel@racheljmitchell.comJoin My Next Coaching Round
