CLASS DESCRIPTION:
This Scripture based study will help us become aware of the reasons we overeat. Through thought provoking homework questions and observations of specific scriptures, we will learn to uncover the lies that make us want to overeat and learn scriptures to replace those lies with the truth. Only then will the desire to overeat lose its grip and food can finally regain its rightful place in our lives.
We will also be learning how to do Truth-Journaling. We will NOT just be writing our thoughts and feelings down to get them out of our system. No! We will be writing them down so we can recognize them, bring them to God, take them captive and replace them with God’s Truth. (Rom 12:1-2 in action.) God is going to use His truth- NOT our self-control- to change our behavior. This is truly good news!
We will be exploring our own idolatry and contrasting that with true worship. We will explore where we personally go for everyday comfort and how we sometimes take the good things God has given us and turn them into idols by running to them and not God. God has some thoughts on that subject and how that repeated reaction affects our relationship with Him.
We will be investigating common emotions of worry, boredom, anger, anxiety, depression, loneliness or even celebration and how they affect our eating patterns. As the author got rid of the lies one by one, her behavior began to change. The truth started coming to her mind automatically and she stopped eating for all the wrong reasons. This can be true of us too as we learn and practice to truly apply God’s word!
This study was written by Barb Raveling as an 8-week study BUT this material is far too challenging to rush through it. We need to pray that God would give us personal revelation about a subject we might have struggled with for decades and that takes time. We will only be doing 2.5 days of homework per week so you will have time to ponder and apply the material. Most of us don’t need more information ABOUT the Bible, we need studies like this that help us on how to APPLY specific scriptures to an area of struggle. Be brave, be vulnerable and join us!
