The One About Eating Disorders 03/11/2026

The One About Eating Disorders Today's episode addresses the struggle of eating disorders. This series is about learning how to care well for the members of your church as they walk through difficult battles. The goal is not to make you the expert, but to offer biblical principles that help you come alongside others in their struggles with sin and suffering. You don’t have to share the same experiences to care well for someone. This conversation is meant to equip you to sit with others, listen well, show compassion, and faithfully admonish one another in Christ. We live in a fallen world and we are all people in need of grace. Join us as we explore how the Lord meets us even in these hard places, revealing the unexpected beauty of His transforming work in our lives. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40384335

Today’s discussion focuses on addiction and enslaving sins. Join us as we consider how the gospel meets us in our deepest struggles and leads us toward true freedom in Christ. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40309510

We’re also reminded that Jesus Christ, born of an impossible birth, is the righteous Judge of all the earth. In His mercy, He takes hold of our hand and leads us out of a life headed for destruction. /episode/index/show/orbcstudents/id/40297495

We also looked at the Angel of the Lord and the weighty reality that this is no mere angel, but a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ Himself.
