from Unspoken Stewardship · host Dr. Lynn Abies

In this episode of Unspoken Stewardship, Dr. Lynn Abies tackles one of the most misunderstood sins in modern Christianity: gluttony. This isn't about body shaming or food policing, it's about confronting the spiritual posture of using consumption to avoid God.Dr. Lynn explores how gluttony shows up not just in eating, but in shopping, scrolling, information consumption, and even Christian content. She unpacks the biblical foundation for understanding appetite as worship, drawing from Proverbs 23, Philippians 3, and historical church teaching.This discipleship-focused conversation offers practical steps for identifying your "gluttony lane," addressing the emotions underneath your appetite, and training yourself to enjoy God first not as a substitute. If you've ever used comfort to cope instead of turning to Christ, this episode will challenge and free you.

We Pray (UWP) is a ministry to help Christians pray and think about racial strife. We want to encourage Christians amid the strife to rely upon God in prayer. So our prayers can be informed, we strive to learn and write about race, racism and its effects, and theology. We aim to be biblical, beneficial, and clear in all our efforts. While we’re burdened for all racial strife, we focus on racial strife between Christians because of the unique privilege and stewardship God has given his people: to bear witness to Him and to love all people, especially one another (Gal. 6:10).
