Why the Church Won't Talk About Food w/ Christian Nutritionist Kat Owens

Overcoming fear of legalism allows us to apply faith to everyday life. Learn why avoiding topics not explicitly commanded limits your growth. Many Christians struggle with a fear of legalism that keeps them from discussing relevant cultural or practical topics. This hesitation often prevents us from applying our faith to areas of life that fall outside of strictly commanded biblical mandates. We discuss why this mindset can be a hindrance to spiritual maturity and how to expand your perspective on integrating faith into daily decisions. By moving past the fear of legalism, you can begin to see how biblical principles apply to broader life choices. This conversation helps you identify where you might be limiting your worldview and encourages a more robust application of scripture. We address the tension between strict adherence to rules and the freedom to pursue wisdom in all areas, ultimately helping you navigate complex topics with confidence. 📚 Resources & Links Mentioned: 📍 Kat Owens website – https://www.eatbyfaith.online/ 📍 Kat Owens on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/eatbyfaith_biblicalnutrition/ 📍 Eat by Faith, available for pre-order from Founders Press – https://founderspress.org/products/eat-by-faith?srsltid=AfmBOooR2ZiNWH708aeJhVx4R_RsCcGR86d5GjhSgPsXP7EtToY4wXTo 📍 Our episode with Andy Felton – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTeg1-r0WRI&t=1s 📍 Our episode with Charles Mayfield on pork – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_B-v4O5tnQ&t=393s 📍 Bonus episode on the biblical perspective on pork – https://www.patreon.com/ModernAncestralMamas/posts/exclusive-with-154464560 📍 Weston A.
