Learn why avoiding topics not explicitly commanded limits your growth. Many Christians struggle with a fear of legalism that keeps them from discussing relevant cultural or practical topics. This hesitation often prevents us from applying our faith to areas of life that fall outside of strictly commanded biblical mandates. We discuss why this mindset can be a hindrance to spiritual maturity and how to expand your perspective on integrating faith into daily decisions. By moving past the fear of legalism, you can begin to see how biblical principles apply to broader life choices. This conversation helps you identify where you might be limiting your worldview and encourages a more robust application of scripture. We address the tension between strict adherence to rules and the freedom to pursue wisdom in all areas, ultimately helping you navigate complex topics with confidence. 📚 Resources & Links Mentioned: 📍 Kat Owens website – https://www.eatbyfaith.online/📍 Kat Owens on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/eatbyfaith_biblicalnutrition/📍 Eat by Faith, available for pre-order from Founders Press – https://founderspress.org/products/eat-by-faith?srsltid=AfmBOooR2ZiNWH708aeJhVx4R_RsCcGR86d5GjhSgPsXP7EtToY4wXTo📍 Our episode with Andy Felton – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTeg1-r0WRI&t=1s📍 Our episode with Charles Mayfield on pork – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_B-v4O5tnQ&t=393s📍 Bonus episode on the biblical perspective on pork – https://www.patreon.com/ModernAncestralMamas/posts/exclusive-with-154464560📍 Weston A.

Dr. Ben grew up the grandson of two small-town country doctors and was on top of the world running a rural clinic in West Texas. Then his nurse practitioner, who had lived with celiac disease for years, came to work one day and ate gluten right in front of him. That moment led Dr. Ben to a doctor who challenged everything he had been taught, and eventually to leaving the insurance model behind and building a clinic focused on getting to the root cause of illness. This is the third episode in our grain series, where we look at the health benefits of freshly milled flour. Dr. Ben shares why he believes the modern American gut struggles with refined flour, how stomach acid, the microbiome, and leaky gut all play a role in gluten reactions, and why freshly milled whole grain behaves so differently in the body than white flour. We also dig into phytic acid, the fermenting and soaking debate, when to introduce grains to babies, and why he encourages his patients to bring these decisions to prayer and not just protocols.

📍 Unsifted Freshly Milled Flour: Enjoy $10 off your first purchase of $100 or more (Code: MAM10) – https://unsifted.com In this conversation with Jen, a registered nurse of nearly 40 years, we hear her story of chronic illness and how she came back to bread. After years of microscopic colitis, psoriasis, and a long list of autoimmune diagnoses, Jen tried nearly every protocol out there, including carnivore, GAPS, and low FODMAP, and stayed gluten-free for close to a decade. Then she felt led to eat bread again, and what happened next surprised her, her doctors, and her family. This is the "healed" episode in our new series on grains, where we look at wheat through the eyes of the farmer, the miller, the baker, and the healed. Jen shares why sourdough made with store-bought flour didn't work for her, what changed when she started milling her own grain, how her labs and digestion responded, and what she experienced in the first few weeks. We also talk about choosing a grain mill, how she bakes six loaves a week, and why she believes the real issue is not gluten but what has been stripped from our flour.
