We talk about getting healthy as worship, not vanity. Brandon shares a setback and a surprising lesson: thinner isn’t always healthier. Susan opens up about disordered eating, hormones, and new rhythms. Together they show how heart, habits, and moderation honor the Holy Spirit’s temple and break generational patterns for good.

QUESTIONS:

1. Where have you been tempted to treat health as appearance instead of stewardship?
2. What “padlocked room” in your life needs to be surrendered to God, especially with food, drink, or discipline?
3. What next step would move you toward being your God-given best, one sustainable choice at a time?
