For many of us, food has become an increasingly complex issue that causes us to feel guilty, overwhelmed, or even hopeless. If you feel defeated by your lack of self-control or overwhelmed by thoughts and longings for food, join author Asheritah Ciuciu as she digs into Scripture and reveals the path to freedom. You’ll discover the joy of living free from food fixation by experiencing deeper satisfaction in Christ. This reading plan is adapted from Full: Food, Jesus, and the Battle for Satisfaction.

The pursuit of Jesus isn’t just for us and shouldn’t stop with us. Following Jesus started thousands of years ago, and it is our mission to continue for generations to come.

The first of Paul’s three “pastoral epistles,” 1 Timothy focuses on the church as a “pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). In the letter, Paul commands Timothy to “guard the deposit” (1 Timothy 6:20) by combatting false teachers, protecting the flock of Christ, and structuring the church well. 1 Timothy shows us the incredible privilege of being in God’s church and the high calling of leading it.
