Breaking the Chains of Gluttony: A Christian Guide to Weight Loss Meds
Breaking the Chains of Gluttony: A Christian Guide
Let’s have a hard conversation. In many of our churches, we are very vocal about sins like lust or greed, but we treat overeating as a "socially acceptable" struggle. We joke about the potluck while our health is failing. But when weight gain becomes a chronic illness that keeps you from serving God and your family, it is no longer a laughing matter.
If you’ve felt trapped in a cycle of overeating and shame, I want to show you how modern medicine can be a tool for spiritual liberation.
It’s Not Just a Spiritual Issue
For years, the church has framed weight as a purely "spiritual" failure—a lack of self-control. But we now know that for many, obesity is a biological disorder. According to scientific studies on GLP-1, some people's brains don't process the "full" signal correctly.
This isn't an excuse; it's a diagnosis. If your "off switch" is broken, you aren't just fighting a spiritual battle—you're fighting a physical one.
Medicine as a "Reset" Button
I view medications like Mounjaro or Wegovy as a tool to quiet the noise. They aren't a "magic pill" that replaces the need for discipline, but they provide the biological margin you need to actually practice discipline. They help you "break the chains" so you can focus on stewardship rather than your next meal.
Steward Your Body and Your Budget
God wants you healthy so you can fulfill your purpose. If you’ve been putting off treatment because you can't afford the $1,000 price tag, let us help. Stewardship isn't just about food; it's about your finances too. We help Christians get these clinical tools for $40 a month.
Don't let shame or high costs keep you from the health you need to serve the Lord.
