What Does the Bible Say About Eating Disorders?

Episode 740 Show Notes

From the Show

As human beings we are both sinners and sufferers. We suffer in ways that oftentimes can and do lead to more sin. Sometimes it’s best not to just look to the Scriptures and ask, “where do I need to repent?” But we should also ask ourselves, “are there other things in my history that may have contributed to this?”
