There are so many stories in the Bible where God uses humans to help Him bring about H...

  When we have the over-desire to be thin, it leads us to over-try to be thin. Wanting to be thin so much but not believing we can do it, creates over-desire and over-trying.

Listen to today's episode to find out how t...

Life is 50/50 - aways. As we go through life, our brain's job is to avoid pain at all cost. It's very well intended.  It doesn't know the difference between physical danger and negative emotion.

So we try to escape but we actually layer our pain with judge...
