S3. E14. Mercy over macros: What God actually desires
3w ago00:08:54Tap to summarizeIf you’ve ever thought that being healthy meant being hard on yourself… this episode is for you. So many women are stuck in cycles of restriction, over-exercising, food guilt, and striving — believing they’re “disciplining” themselves or stewarding their bodies well. But what if God never asked for punishment in the first place? In this episode, Abbie unpacks Hosea 6:6 — “For I desire mercy, not sacrifice…” — and explores the difference between self-imposed suffering versus true obedience to God. You’ll learn: Why extreme discipline does NOT impress God The difference between punishment and partnership How to discern if your health habits are producing good fruit Why obedience flows from relationship, not striving The warning signs that “healthy habits” may actually be rooted in control or fear What it looks like to steward your body from a place of grace instead of guilt Ready to start your journey?

S3. E11. Too busy to eat? That's the problem.
Apr 2200:09:06Tap to summarizeFeeling too busy to eat lunch? That might not be a time problem—it might be a trust problem. In this episode, we’re reframing mealtimes as moments of consecration—time set apart for the Lord—and why skipping meals is actually pulling you into self-reliance instead of dependence on God. Anchored in Leviticus 20:7, we’re diving into what it really means to be set apart and how that applies to your daily rhythms. When you choose to pause, nourish your body, and invite God into your meals, you’re not falling behind—you’re positioning yourself for supernatural strength, clarity, and provision. You’re not too busy to eat… you’re too busy NOT to. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: What “consecration” actually means and how it applies to your meals Why skipping meals is rooted in self-reliance, not discipline How taking a lunch break is an act of trust and surrender The connection between nourishment, productivity, and God’s presence How mealtimes can help reduce overeating and emotional eating Why God’s design for your body includes rhythm, rest, and refueling Ready For Support? If you’re struggling to stay consistent with meals, feel “too busy” to eat, or want to invite God into your health journey in a deeper way—I’d love to support you. 👉 Book your free call here: https://bio.site/abbiestasior

S3. E10. The truth about body image (that actually sets you free)
Apr 1500:13:42Tap to summarizeBody image struggles aren’t just about your body… they’re about where your mind is set and who you’re fearing. In this vulnerable episode, I’m sharing what God revealed to me in my own wedding season as I battled insecurity—and how He used Revelation 3:5 to shift my perspective from earthly thinking to eternal truth. Jesus meets us in our shame with compassion, but He doesn’t let us stay there. He calls us higher—into victory, into freedom, and into a mindset that reflects His truth over our feelings. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: The real root of body image struggles (hint: it’s deeper than your body) How fear of man keeps you stuck in insecurity What it means to set your mind on things above How Jesus leads you out of shame and into victory Practical questions to ask God to heal your body image Ready For Support?

S3. E9. Why you're still struggling with food (you're missing this)
Apr 800:16:49Tap to summarizeIf you’re trying to heal your relationship with food without the Holy Spirit… you’re doing it the hard way—and honestly, the wrong way. In this post-Resurrection Sunday episode, we’re diving into what Jesus meant when He said it was better for Him to leave so the Holy Spirit could come (👀 yes, better!). Because here’s the truth: You don’t just need more discipline, a better plan, or more nutrition knowledge… You need the Helper. The Advocate. The Spirit of Truth. The Holy Spirit isn’t optional in your health journey—He is your wisest counsel. And if you’re not listening to Him… what are you listening to? In this episode you’ll learn: Why Jesus said it’s better that the Holy Spirit came How the Holy Spirit actually guides your health decisions The danger of relying on your own understanding (even with good intentions) Why discipline isn’t your problem—dependence is How to stop defaulting to diet culture and start following God’s voice BOOK A FREE CALL WITH ABBIE HERE: https://bio.site/abbiestasior

S3. E7. Overcoming negativity bias in your health journey
Mar 2500:14:05Tap to summarize“God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.” — Genesis 1:31 Before moving on, God paused. He looked. He declared it good. So why do we struggle to do the same?

S3. E6. The dangers of "clean eating"
Mar 1800:14:44Tap to summarize"Eating clean" may sound healthy and righteous... but is this language leading to more guilt and shame, harming our relationship with food? In Acts 10, Peter has a vision where God tells him, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” While this passage carries powerful implications about inclusion and the Gospel, it also dismantles something many of us still cling to today: labeling food as morally good or bad. In this episode, we’re unpacking the subtle danger of “clean eating” language — and how it may be harming your relationship with food more than helping it. What You’ll Learn: What Acts 10 really teaches us about food Why “clean eating” language can increase food anxiety How labeling food impacts your brain and behavior A healthier, more biblical way to approach nourishment Work with Abbie here: https://bio.site/abbiestasior See the study about clean eating here (Ambwani et al., 2019): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31171970/

S3. E5. When Jesus breaks your food rules
Mar 1100:14:28Tap to summarizeIn John 5, Jesus heals a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years — and then tells him to do something shocking: “Pick up your mat and walk.” The problem? It was unlawful to carry your mat on the Sabbath. Why would Jesus ask him to break a religious rule? Because obedience to Christ will always matter more than man-made regulations. In today’s episode, we’re talking about how following Jesus may challenge your food rules — the ones that once made you feel safe. Whether it’s “no carbs after 7,” tracking everything you eat, or believing you have to earn your food through exercise, the Holy Spirit may gently invite you to do something different. And that invitation can feel uncomfortable. But freedom often does. If you’ve ever felt tension between your faith and your food rules, this episode will help you discern the difference between Spirit-led conviction and fear-based restriction. What You’ll Learn: Why Jesus sometimes disrupts rule-following How food rules can masquerade as discipline The difference between wisdom and fear How to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit in your health journey Work With Abbie Here: https://bio.site/abbiestasior
