God gave you one physical body so you can live, move, and breathe, and He gave you a vital resource to fuel it––food. But because of damaging diet culture and pervasive body-shaming messages, it can be hard to have a relaxing, enjoyable relationship with food. Today we have nutritionist Meredyth Fletcher joining us, who believes that your perspective on food is directly impacted by your view of God, and in The (Good) Food Solution, she will help you shift any distorted perceptions on food to see it, not as a burden, but as a gift from God to nourish your body. Partner with us through donating (A Wife Like Me is a 501(c)3 nonprofit), here: https://awifelikeme.com/giveGrab our book, Dear Wife, here: https://www.amazon.com/Dear-Wife-Invitations-Practice-Connection/dp/0578470594Watch on YouTube, here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5HUNNkN0hhA8Xv-g1R3qgGrab our planner, Design My Day, here: https://awifelikeme.com/design-my-dayFind out your Wife Type in less than 3 minutes, here: https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/63b9c12b3108f50016d71ba7Grab our FREE marriage resources, here: https://awifelikeme.com/subscribe-to-a-wife-like-meSupport the Show.

We continue our conversation with author and speaker Sheila Wray Gregoire and have a much needed conversation on the topics discussed in her brand new book, and how we can change the narrative around these important topics shared within the church.  The Great Sex Rescue pulls back the curtain on what is happening in Christian bedrooms and exposes the problematic teachings that wreck sex for so many couples–and the good teachings that leave others breathless. In the #metoo and #churchtoo era, not only is this book a long overdue corrective to church culture, it is poised to free thousands of couples from repressive and dissatisfying sex lives so that they can experience the kind of intimacy and wholeness God intended. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awifelikeme/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awifelikeme/support
