This is the TRUTH
I accidentally discovered both of Barb's Podcast series (Taste for Truth and The Christian Habits) as I was desperately searching the internet for some sort of diet plan that would actually work! Well God has a sense of humor because I didn't actually need ANOTHER diet plan (I had tried and ultimately failed at SO MANY), I needed to hear God's TRUTH about my eating habits and weight issues. Barb has such a knack for speaking simply yet in a compelling manner and I can totally relate to the different topics she speaks about on both podcasts. One of the many things I enjoy about Barb's approach is that she doesn't claim to have the ONE AMAZING DIET PLAN that if you will follow, the weight will melt off. In fact, Barb doesn't endorse any particular diet plan. Barb's approach is to help you see the lies that you believe concerning your self worth, the reasons you justify eating and different unhealthy habits in your life. She recommends Truth Journaling and renewing your mind which are ways to combat the lies with God's word (the ultimate truth). I had NO IDEA I was believing all the lies that I have discovered so far! I have a friend/accountability partner and together we are working through Barb's book, "Taste for Truth, A 30 Day Weight Loss Bible Study". This Bible study, paired with "I Deserve a Donut" App and listening to the Podcasts have truly been LIFE CHANGING. My friend and I both feel like much of what Barb teaches are principles we have been familiar with for many years, however, Barb gets us to think about the "Why" behind our eating behaviors and then shows us God's truth about food, overeating, overindulging and what a healthy life with healthy boundaries looks like. We both feel like Barb is taking all these truths and putting each piece together for us so it all makes sense. Even though we are only a month or so into this newfound way of living with boundaries and taking the many lies captive and replacing them with God's truth, we feel we are already walking in victory. We have both felt the loosening of the chains of lies we have believed for so long and we have both lost weight. We have hit some bumps in the road BUT have managed to overcome the LIE that we are failures because we didn't follow our boundaries and we have been able to get back on track (much sooner that we would have previously) through the renewing of our minds. We are a long way from living in complete freedom and we both feel we have many lies to overcome, however, we have God's word available 24/7 and we believe we can live in freedom from the control of food long term. As a last note, another thing I love about Barb's podcasts is that she often interviews real people who have successfully applied these principles. Some of them are just regular people like me, some are fitness experts or authors but the one thing they all have in common is that they have learned to depend on God MORE and themselves LESS. Barb is amazing, her resources are incredibly helpful and life changing, and I know without a doubt, Barb is leading me to have a closer walk with Jesus. True freedom is Christ is not only possible--I'm actually beginning to live it!! Thank you Barb!Read full review »

Barb’s sweet voice is a daily dose of encouragement on your weight loss journey. Podcasts include stories of success, weight loss advice and most importantly, a focus on renewing your mind though God’s Word.

Barb's ministry is so helpful because her suggestions and "how to's" are practical and doable. We all know we should "renew our minds," but Barb shows us what that looks like in real life. Lifechanging!!!!Read full review »
