S3. E5. When Jesus breaks your food rules

In 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.
