DIET & LIVE developed as a revelation while in search of understanding how to add the spiritual dimension to health. This led to how to live from the inside out; aligning spirit, mind, and body with the Holy Spirit who is our helper, guide and comforter.
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”
— John 14:26 ESV
We live in a world that teaches us to focus on the outside — how we look, what we own, and how others see us. The situations and circumstances we encounter many times dictate our emotions and actions. So sadness, hate, revenge, self-pity, loneliness can prevent us from having the love, peace, joy and other attributes that we have when the Holy Spirit leads and guides us.
When we live from the inside out, we stop reacting to life because of circumstances and situations. We respond with love, compassion and purpose. Our decisions, words, and actions begin to reflect the love and guidance of the Holy Spirit living within us.
🌿 What “Living from the Inside Out” Looks Like:
- Holy Spirit: Dwells within and speaks to our spirit.
- Spirit: Our spirit speaks to our mind. Listening to God’s voice and allowing His presence to guide thoughts and emotions.
- Mind: Our mind speaks to our body. Training your thinking toward gratitude, self-discipline, and endurance.
- Body: Our body speaks to the world; by what we do and say. Honoring God through our thoughts and actions.
Each area affects the others. A peaceful spirit allows us to hear God speaking and calms the mind. A disciplined mind supports healthy relationships and bodies. And a healthy body strengthens our ability to care for ourselves and others.
💜 The DIET & LIVE Approach
The acronym D.I.E.T. stands for Desire, Initiative, Endurance, and Trust — the four steps that lead to transformation. And when practiced through faith, they result in L.I.V.E. — Longevity, Improvement, Vitality, and Enjoyment.
Usually when you see DIET it refers to a way to eat; to lose weight, control a disease or illness or just to be healthy. DIET in this case is a spiritual lifestyle. It’s about letting God transform you from the inside out — helping you become whole, not just well.
