Exploring faith, food, and wellbeing for Christian women.
Alongside my nutrition practice, I write a blog for Christian women exploring the connection between faith, healthy living, and our relationship with food.

I’m just going to let that sit there for a minute.
What does she mean by this? I

…A daily battle against the flesh
