Gospel of Good Bodies: Listening for the Religious Language in Dieting, Wellness and Fashion

Are you "being bad" for eating cake or looking for "guilt-free" foods? In this eye-opening episode, Heather Creekmore uncovers how modern diet culture has borrowed religious language—like sin, guilt, and temptation—and transformed eating into a moral battleground. Discover why labels like "clean eating" or "cheat days" aren't just diet lingo but clues to a whole alternate religion we unknowingly follow.

You’ll walk away with a new perspective on the words and rules you’ve absorbed about food and body, and a biblically grounded reminder that God’s table is about grace, not judgment. Don’t miss this liberating conversation that will help you stop comparing and start living with joy and freedom at the dinner table.

Join us as we:

Break down the roots of food guilt and temptation language

Examine what Scripture really says about food, pleasure, and purity

Challenge the diet culture religion and reclaim the grace and freedom God intended

Listen now—you’ll never hear the words "guilty pleasure" the same way again!

This is part one of a brand new series looking at religious language we use around food, body, diets, and even fashion!
