Healing Your Relationship with Food God's Way

What if your relationship with food was never meant to be something you had to fix on your own?

In this encouraging and practical talk, Abbie helps women understand the difference between biblical stewardship and diet culture, identify the beliefs keeping them stuck in food guilt and restriction, and begin inviting God into their relationship with food.

Your audience will learn:

• Why dieting and restriction can keep us trapped in a cycle of guilt
• How to distinguish physical hunger from the fear and food rules created by diet culture
• What Scripture actually says about food, our bodies, and self-control
• How to begin practicing intuitive eating through a biblical lens
• How to surrender control without giving up stewardship
• What it looks like to invite Jesus into your relationship with food

Perfect for: Women's ministries, church events, Christian conferences, book studies, and retreats.

Learning to See Yourself Through God's Eyes

Our culture tells women that their bodies are problems to solve.

God tells us something completely different.

This talk helps women unpack body dissatisfaction, comparison, appearance-based identity, and the pressure to constantly change their bodies.

Abbie combines biblical truth with practical tools to help women begin separating their identity from their appearance and learning to see their bodies as something to steward—not punish.

We’ll explore:

• Why body dissatisfaction can become so consuming
• What it means to be fearfully and wonderfully made
• How comparison changes the way we see ourselves
• How to interrupt negative body thoughts
• The difference between body acceptance and body worship
• How to build confidence rooted in Christ rather than appearance

Pursuing Health Without Making Health Your God

What happens when the desire to be healthy becomes an obsession?

When eating “clean” becomes more important than enjoying a meal with people you love?

When the number on the scale determines your mood?

When taking care of your body quietly becomes trying to control your body?

In this talk, Abbie challenges women to examine whether their pursuit of health has become another form of striving and invites them to surrender their health journey to God.

We'll talk about:

• Health perfectionism
• Fear-based eating
• Exercise and food as forms of control
• The difference between stewardship and obsession
• How to discern health decisions with the Holy Spirit
• What it looks like to pursue health for God's glory

Winning the War Against Food Noise, Body Shame & Negative Self-Talk

So many women aren't physically restricting anymore—but they're still mentally restricting.

They're constantly thinking:

"Am I going to gain weight?"

"Should I really be eating this?"

"I need to work out tomorrow."

"I don't like the way my body looks."

"I blew it."

In this practical teaching, Abbie introduces her 7 R's Method for reframing negative food and body thoughts through biblical truth.

Recognize. Record. Refute. Rebuke. Reframe. Repent. Repeat.

This talk combines neuroscience, nutrition, Scripture, and practical application to help women stop allowing negative thoughts to run their lives.

What If You Didn't Have to Strive Your Way to Health?

Women are exhausted.

Exhausted from dieting.

Exhausted from trying to fix themselves.

Exhausted from trying to be enough.

Exhausted from constantly striving for a healthier, thinner, better version of themselves.

What if God was inviting them into something different?

This talk explores rest, surrender, abiding, spiritual formation, and receiving God's love rather than striving for worth through health, appearance, productivity, or achievement.

Unpacking Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message) is Abbie’s signature message for women's retreats.
