Author and teacher Asherita Choochoo came to a point in her life where she had to ask herself an important question about food.

Can I really say that I am as satisfied with Christ as I am with a brownie?

Today is November 18th, 2019, and this is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss

Walgamuth, along with Dana Gresh.

The very first time I had the privilege of being a guest in the home of Nancy DeMas, she was not yet a Walgamuth.

She said to me, you know, help yourself to breakfast in the morning. Just go to the fridge and whatever you can find, enjoy yourself. And so in the morning, I snuck out to the refrigerator, and I opened it,

expecting the chaos of my full family refrigerator. Instead, found the refrigerator of a single

woman. There were a few waters, a few juices, and some nicely lined up yogurts. And I thought to myself, she really is as holy as we all think she is. She doesn't even eat. But since then, I have learned, Nancy, you have an appetite.

I absolutely do. And I cannot imagine the circumstances under which that's all that

would have been in my refrigerator. I believe you, because you just said it, and I'm sure it's true,

but usually there is a lot more chaos there because we have people coming and going from our home

all the time, and I am a foodie. Yes, I've noticed. I remember a time we were at an Amish Smorgasborg

together. Remind me. You were eating a lot of food happily. I don't doubt that. You were in

kind of a happy place, actually. I enjoy food. Sometimes I enjoy it way too much. And I married

a man who could not care less about food. Oh, wow. So that's been a little

interesting in our marriage because, you know, he eats to live. And Robert could have the same

thing to eat every day. He needs no variety. He can have a bowl of cereal for dinner. And I'm like,

I enjoy food a lot. And there's some scripture verses that can back that up, but there are also

some verses that tell me that food can be and often has been an idol in my life.

You know, I want to ask you about that because when I said that morning in your house,

I said, wow, your refrigerator doesn't have, and I think you said, you know, you've been

out of town for three weeks or something.
