Well with Jesus

How I Stopped Using Food to Cope with My Feelings & What I Learned from God Along the Way

Hello dear friend. In the last episode of season one, we unpack emotional eating, a pattern many of us fall into when trying to soothe emotional pain or navigate life’s challenges.
I share parts of my own story, from childhood into adulthood, and how I worked through the root causes behind my emotional eating using tools like therapy and journaling.
We also talk through the spiritual side of emotional eating: its links to gluttony and idolatry, and how it can be a sign that we need to grow in the fruit of self-control.
This conversation also invites us to check where we might be turning to food instead of turning to God, and to step into greater freedom with Him.
So grab a warm cup of tea, your journal, and join me for our last hangout for the season.

Is Manifestation Biblical? | Exposing the Spiritual Risks Behind New Age Practices

Hello dear friend. In today’s episode, we’re having a heartfelt conversation about something that’s become incredibly popular in our culture—manifestation and the law of attraction. Maybe you’ve heard phrases like “speak it into existence” or “you attract what you are”—but how do these ideas really line up with our faith?
If you’ve ever felt unsure about whether these practices fit into a life centred on Christ, you are not alone. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that we can control our outcomes just by focusing hard enough or saying the right things. But today, we’re gently peeling back the layers to ask: where is our trust truly placed?
We’re talking about the subtle ways these New Age practices can shift our focus away from God and toward self—sometimes without us even realiSing it. Through scripture, reflection, and honest questions, we’ll explore how to stay rooted in God’s truth while navigating a world full of mixed messages.
I’ll be sharing some personal thoughts and biblical insights to help you stay anchored in your walk with Jesus. Whether this is something you’ve wrestled with for a while or you're just curious to learn more, this episode is a space of grace, clarity, and encouragement.
So grab your Bible and maybe a warm cup of tea, and let’s dive into this important conversation—together.
