They Didn’t Eat What You Think… (Biblical Food, Fasting & Myths)

What did people actually eat in the Bible? Was it really just bread and fish… or something completely different? In this episode, we sit down at the kitchen table and dig into the truth about food in Scripture, from the Garden of Eden to the time of Jesus. We talk about: What Eve actually ate (hint: not an apple) What manna really was and how it sustained people for 40 years The real meaning behind “clean” and “unclean” foods What people actually ate day-to-day in biblical times Why fasting wasn’t about health… and what it was really for How Jesus changed the conversation around food completely This isn’t about diet trends or “biblical eating plans.” It’s about understanding how food connects to provision, obedience, and the condition of the heart. If you’ve ever wondered what the Bible really says about food, this one might surprise you.   Disclaimer: The conversations shared on Faith Is a Journey reflect our personal experiences and understanding of Scripture.
