🍽️ Ever wonder why food still feels like a battle — even when you're praying and trying your best?
You want to eat better.
You want to honor God with your body.
But some patterns feel so hard to break.
The truth is, lasting freedom doesn’t come from trying harder — it comes from surrender.
In this week’s Reshape and Recover podcast, we talk about Step 7 of the 12 Steps:
“Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.”
This step isn’t about shame or self-hate.
It’s about trusting God to do what we can’t do alone.
🎧 Inside this episode:
✔️ Why willpower alone won’t break food cycles
✔️ How to humbly ask God for help — without fear or guilt
✔️ The spiritual connection between surrender and self-control
✔️ Why walking in the Spirit changes everything (including your eating)
✔️ How God sees you — and why He rejoices over you
If you’ve been stuck in discouragement or old habits, this message will remind you:
You’re not alone — and God’s grace is enough.
