• Simplify Nutrition & Honor God

  Send us a text Hey, it's Matthew here with Leah, and this week we unpack something you've all asked for: "How do I simplify my food when life is busy, noisy, and overwhelming?" If you've ever felt stuck with meal prep, battling late-night snacking, or just don't know where to start with healthy eating—this episode is for you. We break it down to three key questions: How would this look if it were simple?Does this choice glorify God?Is what I'm eating God-made—or man-made?Leah shares her superhero story: a single mom of 3, teacher, juggling side hustles, yet she cooked—and ate well*. And how she still meal preps today with that same simplicity-based system. What You’ll Get from This Episode: How to strip away nutritional overwhelm and keep it simple.The concept of "God-Made vs Man-Made" foods.Why PVC—Protein, Veggie, Carb—is your new best friend.Easy systems like meal-stacking, rotating favorite meals, and why shortcuts (like frozen meal backups) are your friend.How to handle emotional eating, busy seasons, travel, and cravings.Why “making the scale your God” will kill your confidence and peace.The spiritual side of nutrition—letting go of control and leaning on God for freedom, not willpower.Simplify Tools in the Academy:If this episode hits home, know there’s a step-by-step blueprint waiting for you inside the Temple Keeper Academy.

• Episode 25:Donna's story: She’s 64 and Just Now Healing Her Relationship with Food

  Send us a text I need you to hear this. During one of our Thursday night Temple Keeper Community coaching calls, Donna, a 64-year-old woman in our group, asked if she could share something. What came out of her mouth stopped all of us in our tracks. She’s spent her whole life tying her worth to how she looked. She’s been stuck in the same cycle for decades: binge eating, shame, dieting, repeat, even as a Christian. But that night, something broke. She shared her heart. She told us the real battle she’s been fighting since childhood. And everyone, including me, was in tears. This isn’t just about food. It’s about identity. About pain. About healing. And I know she’s not the only one. If you’ve ever used food for comfort… If you’ve ever tried to earn your worth by shrinking yourself… If you’ve ever thought “It’s too late for me”… You need to hear Donna’s story. I jump in at the end with practical truth, biblical encouragement, and the reminder that this is not your identity. And it’s not too late.  🧠 Key Takeaways: Emotional eating is usually a learned behavior — and it’s not your fault.If it didn’t cause it, it can’t solve it.Healing starts when we stop rooting our identity in our struggle.Christ is the one who comforts — not food, not your body, not your performance.You are not broken. You are being made new.God will use your story to help others when you let Him rewrite it.  If you're tired of struggling alone and in silence and ready to find freedom 🙏 Join the Temple Keepers Community Today🙏 https://thetemplekeepers.com/community-signup #TempleKeepersPodcast #ChristianWeightLoss #FoodFreedom #EmotionalEating #FaithAndFitness #BiblicalNutrition #MatthewHeadden #LeahHeadden #TempleKeepers #HealingInChrist #GodFood #IdentityInChrist #BreakTheCycle #ChristianWomenHealing #Overcomer #FaithFuel Support the show If you're tired of struggling alone and in silence and ready to find freedom ... 🙏 Join the Temple Keepers Community Today🙏https://thetemplekeepers.com/community-signup 🙏Visit our Website🙏 https://thetemplekeepers.com/

• Rethinking Emotional Eating: It's not your fault

  Send us a textHave you ever found yourself eating when you weren’t hungry?                              Are you using food as a coping mechanism and calling it self-care?In this raw, real, and faith-fueled episode, we (Matthew & Leah Headden) dive into the roots of emotional eating—not just from a fitness perspective, but from a spiritual one. This isn’t just about food. It’s about identity, comfort, and learned behaviors we picked up from our homes, schools, churches, and culture. But here’s the good news: you’re not broken, and it’s not your fault—but now it is your responsibility.Whether you've turned to food for comfort, stress, celebration, or control… this conversation will speak directly to your heart.Key Takeaways: ✅ Emotional eating is often a learned behavior, not a lack of willpower ✅ Food is rarely the root issue—it’s a response to something deeper ✅ You’re not addicted to food—you’re caught in a cycle of seeking comfort ✅ If it didn’t cause it, it can’t solve it ✅ There’s a difference between God’s food and man-made “food” ✅ Identity rooted in Christ is the starting point for healing ✅ Journaling, community, and accountability are game changers ✅ It’s not about being perfect—it’s about progress, stewardship, and grace ✅ If your pantry is your prayer closet… it’s time to let God take that space backFeeling stuck? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay there.📲 Follow us on socials for daily encouragement and updates:Matthew (God Food Guy): @godfoodguyLeah: @leahheaddenTemple Keepers Podcast IG: @temple_keepers_podcastSpotify: Temple Keepers on SpotifyApple Podcasts: Temple Keepers on AppleYouTube: Temple Keepers YouTube Channel💪 Ready to reclaim the healthy, happy version of YOU that God created? 📞 Book a free call with Matthew: https://link.trm-engine.com/widget/bookings/20-min-free-consult-book🫶 Want a faith-based community of believers on the same journey? 🌱 Join the Temple Keepers Community: https://thetemplekeepers.com/community-signupSupport the show If you're tired of struggling alone and in silence and ready to find freedom ... 🙏 Join the Temple Keepers Community Today🙏https://thetemplekeepers.com/community-signup 🙏Visit our Website🙏 https://thetemplekeepers.com/
