Episode Summary:In this powerful and deeply reflective episode, Marty takes us back to the beginning—to Eden, to Daniel’s faithfulness, to the sacred rhythms of the Church, and to the virtuous witness of the saints. Discover how clean eating is not just about food quality, but about spiritual posture, reverence, and discipline. Drawing from Scripture and Catholic tradition, this episode invites listeners to reimagine their meals as acts of worship, fasting as a return to God, and food choices as opportunities for virtue.What You’ll Learn:– Why Eden reveals God’s original intention for nourishment– How Daniel’s fast teaches resistance and spiritual clarity– How the Church’s ancient rhythm of fasting and feasting shapes modern holiness– How saints like St. Francis, St. Thérèse, and Pier Giorgio Frassati modeled temperance and devotion in food– How you can imitate these practices in your kitchen and dining room todayChallenge for Listeners:Choose one meal this week to offer as a prayer. Whether it’s through fasting, clean cooking, or intentional gratitude—make it holy.
