Or has it crossed a line into conspiracy thinking, self-righteousness, and what Matt calls \"nutritional Marxism\"?\nWe tackle the hard questions:\n- Does the Bible actually say anything about what you eat?\n- Are vaccines a wisdom issue, a freedom issue, or a sin issue?\n- When does a personal health conviction become a burden you're putting on others?\n- Is \"my body is a temple\" being used correctly — or completely out of context?\n- Why does this topic create more division in the church than almost anything else?\nPlus: a Russian bear workout video, the great Wigwam sock debate, Red Wing boots, and why Brett's laces are deeply offensive to Pastor Matt.\n=======================================\nBuy Pastor Matt's new book 'Mere Membership':\nhttps://a.co/d/04ryklXw\nHave a question you want answered on the podcast?\nhttps://alotofwordspodcast.com/contact\nShop our merch store.
