Why the 12 Steps Matter in Overcoming Overeating
Have you ever wondered why the 12 steps are so important in the journey to overcome overeating? Why not just pray more, try a new habit, or follow a diet plan?
In this episode, Julie and Tony break down why the 12 steps matter — not just as a program, but as a Christ-centered path to healing, freedom, and lasting change. Together they explore how:
• Step 1 helps us recognize the reality of addiction and surrender control
• Steps 2 and 3 shift us from self-reliance to God-reliance
• Steps 4–9 guide us through deep emotional healing
• Step 10 keeps us spiritually healthy day by day
• Step 11 strengthens our connection with God
• Step 12 helps us serve others and stay rooted in grace
Whether you’re new to recovery or looking for fresh encouragement, this episode offers biblical truths, practical insights, and hope for anyone seeking freedom from food struggles.
