Revelation Within On the Go!
Revelation Within equips people with life-giving, grace-infused mind renewal tools to deepen their intimacy with Jesus so that counterfeit comforts (like overeating) lose their allure, and the joy and hope of Jesus fills their lives, satisfying their souls. In our podcast we talk about mind renewal, tips and tricks for getting and staying free from counterfeit comforts like overeating (over-scrolling, over-drinking, over-anythinging...) We began as Thin Within in 1975, a pioneer in intuitive, mindful eating back when diets were in their hey day! Thin Within has taught people how to tune in to their body's natural signals of hunger and satisfaction, remaining present with their meals and delighting in tastes and textures--and the Lord! In the 1980s, Thin Within became a Christian ministry, showing people that the emptiness that they have felt and often filled with food that their bodies don't require, was really placed in there to be filled full with God through Jesus. He wants to set us free from all strongholds! We rebranded our ministry and our podcast in 2023 to Revelation Within. Join us! Visit us in our RevWithin.Team community as well!

Many of us have experienced how a bathroom scale can become far more than a source of information. One number can suddenly seem to tell us whether we’re succeeding or failing, affecting our mood, our eating, our body image, and even how willing we are to bring our honest feelings to God. In this episode, we get practical and honest about the signs that the scale may have stopped being neutral information and s...
We know that wanting to lose weight can sometimes feel like a spiritual problem, so in this episode we tackle the honest question many people quietly ask: “Is it wrong to want to lose weight?” We talk about how to hold that desire with open hands rather than allowing our weight to determine our worth, safety, acceptance, or hope for the future. We explore the deeper beliefs that can sit underneath weight...
If you’ve ever believed that a smaller body would finally buy you peace, this conversation meets you with honesty and real hope. In this episode we talk about the desire so many women have to change their bodies, hoping a smaller body will finally bring peace. We don’t shame that desire, but we also recognize that it can’t carry everything we’re asking it to carry. Christina shares what...
We’re sharing the story behind a significant change for us: why we let go of the name Thin Within and stepped into Revelation Within. We go back to Thin Within’s roots in the 1970s, when the simple practice of eating when physically hungry and stopping when satisfied offered a welcome alternative to strict diet rules. While we still value that wisdom, we’ve also seen how even a helpful boundary can...
We know how easily dieting can pull us into an exhausting cycle of rigid control, inevitable slip-ups, and shame. In this episode, we take a clear and honest look at what Christian freedom with food can actually look like—and whether it’s really different from another diet plan with spiritual language added. We explain what Revelation Within is at its core: a Christ-centered approach that brings mind ren...
We sit down with Michelle for an honest and encouraging conversation about what it looks like to find peace with food after decades of dieting, striving, and struggling with body image. Michelle shares how she first discovered Thin Within (later Revelation Within), walked away when things seemed “good,” and eventually returned when her efforts to control food began to unravel. Together, we explore spirit...
Sometimes our lives look “fine” on the outside while we feel ruled on the inside by pressure, cravings, people-pleasing, and the belief that we have to earn rest. In this episode, we get practical about boundaries as loving limits that protect our freedom—especially when food, body image, exercise, and coping habits become tangled up with shame and urgency. We begin with movement and exercise, talk...
A boundary can sound like rejection, but we’ve discovered that it can also be an act of trust. In this episode, we take what we’ve learned about boundaries in Spirit-led eating and expand it into everyday life—our time, attention, relationships, rest, productivity, conversations, and even the places we turn for comfort when we’re stressed or afraid. We talk honestly about common boundary trap...
Diet culture can make eating feel like a courtroom, where every bite seems to prove whether we’re “good” or “bad.” We want something different. In this episode, we share a grace-filled approach to eating boundaries that doesn’t turn food into another diet plan or spiritual performance. We explore a simple, body-honoring rhythm: hunger opens the meal, and the peaceful place of &ldq...
Grace can feel like something meant for everyone else but not for us. If you've ever looked at your eating, your body, or your struggles with self-control and wondered what is wrong with you, we want to begin where Scripture begins—with who God says He is. Together, we explore Exodus 34 and Psalm 103, building a picture of God's mercy, compassion, patience, steadfast love, and forgiveness. When we understand H...
In this final episode of our Loud Longings, Holy God series, we bring everything back to the truth we've been discovering together: our deepest longings were always meant to lead us to Jesus. We talk about why cravings, emotional eating, scrolling, shopping, striving, and the search for approval aren't random—they often reveal a deeper desire for lasting comfort, peace, and connection with God. Reflecting on P...
In part 8 of our Loud Longings, Holy God series, we explore the difference between chasing quick relief and receiving the lasting comfort God offers. Together, we talk about why we often reach for food, scrolling, overspending, busyness, or other coping mechanisms when life feels overwhelming, and why those cravings may actually be pointing to deeper needs. Looking at 2 Corinthians 1, Psalm 23, and Matthew 11, we're...
In this seventh episode in our Loud Longings, Holy God series, we explore why our search for comfort is a universal part of being human and why longing is not a sign that something is wrong with us. Together, we talk about how shame can lead us to hide our desires instead of bringing them honestly to God. Looking at Jeremiah 2 and the image of broken cisterns, we consider how food, emotional eating, social media, bu...
In this sixth episode of our Loud Longings, Holy God series, we explore what it means to stay with Jesus when cravings, difficult emotions, or overwhelming situations make us want to escape. Beginning with a simple breath prayer and Jesus' invitation in John 15 to "abide in Me," we talk about how urges often feel urgent and permanent, even though they rise and fall like waves. Together, we consider how remaining pre...
In this fifth episode of our Loud Longings, Holy God series, we talk honestly about why surrender can feel so difficult, especially when we're letting go of the very things we've relied on for comfort. We begin with a breath prayer from Psalm 73—“You are the strength of my heart... and my portion forever”—and explore how stress, grief, and uncertainty can drive us toward emotional eating, con...
In this fourth episode of our Loud Longings, Holy God series, we explore what happens when our hearts attach to things other than God for comfort, security, and relief. We share a simple breath prayer—“You alone” on the inhale, “are my portion” on the exhale—and reflect on Psalm 16 as we consider where we turn when life feels overwhelming, lonely, or exhausting. Together, we talk ...
In this third episode of our Loud Longings series, we explore a different way of understanding cravings, urges, and unwanted behaviors. Instead of seeing them as proof that something is wrong with us, we consider the possibility that they may be coming from a single part of us that is tired, lonely, anxious, discouraged, or still carrying old wounds. Together, we talk about how food, scrolling, shopping, busyness, a...
In this second episode of our Loud Longings series, we explore how cravings are often about much more than food. What looks like a desire for sugar, bread, or chocolate can sometimes point to a deeper longing for comfort, safety, peace, or connection. We begin with a simple breath prayer from Psalm 139—“Search me and know me”—and invite ourselves into a posture of curiosity instead of s...
In this first episode of our Loud Longings series, we explore a different way of looking at longing. Instead of treating it as a problem to fix, we ask what if that ache is actually pointing us toward something deeper. We share a simple breath prayer—“Lord Jesus” on the inhale, “meet me in my longing” on the exhale—and reflect on Psalm 42, where the psalmist openly acknowledges a ...
In this final episode of our Embodied and Honest series, we talk about how easy it is to slip into autopilot when life feels overwhelming. We have both experienced what it is like to disconnect from our bodies, ignore our needs, and quietly cope through food, distraction, overworking, or staying constantly busy. But avoiding what is happening inside us does not make those needs disappear. We explore how embodied liv...
