when you can't make. yourself renew your mind

Do you struggle to make yourself renew your mind or set boundaries? Have you had a difficult trauma in your life that has caused you to gain weight? Do you ever feel like you need to be perfect (and perfectly skinny) to be loved?

when you can't make yourself renew your mind

These are all things my guest Denise has struggled with. Thankfully, she learned how to make herself renew her mind. God used the renewing of the mind to help Denise see herself through His eyes, set boundaries, follow boundaries, and lose weight. She shares her journey with us in today’s episode of the Taste for Truth Podcast.

What We Discussed

  • How to make yourself renew your mind when you don’t feel like it
  • Why Denise did the Taste for Truth Bible Study five times
  • How being skinny and eating healthy becomes a control issue
  • Tips for maintaining weight on three meals a day
  • How grief affects our eating habits and causes us to gain weight
  • Why it’s important to not base our identity on being skinny
  • Tips for leading a Taste for Truth Bible study at your church
