What Matthew 12:1–8 teaches us about food rules, mercy, and freedom
The biblical significance of bread and the “bread of the Presence”

Work with Abbie here: https://bio.site/abbiefrye - If figuring out what, when, and how much to eat feels exhausting, confusing, or all-consuming, something is off.

What Matthew 11:28–30 can teach us about our relationship with food
Why food and body image were never meant to feel constantly burdensome
What it actually means to be “yoked” with Jesus in your health journey

What you'll learn:
Why children naturally demonstrate many of the principles of intuitive eating
How diet culture can disconnect you from your God-given hunger and fullness cues
