Ep 540 Becoming Alive Again (ft. Leré Robinson)

But when you said something about food and how we don't really understand, and I want to just sit on this for a second.

I think about it sometimes with money.

We use money every day, right? We buy a cup of coffee.

We pay our bills.

We buy some gas.

And so we have this false belief, I think, that we, well, I mean, I know what money is.

I use money every day.

But very few of us probably really, really understand money.

money, you know, right? So we think about food and we're like, I mean, I'm going to eat a few times today.

I'm going to do this and I'm going to buy, you know, and, and we don't really, but we haven't really thought about food the way that, that you're going to help us consider it today.

So for you that are listening, even though, and, or, you know, sometimes what we've done is we've, we've eaten a particular way or had a particular perspective for so long that that we don't think that that can't be the problem.

You know, I joke sometimes when he says, Well, I've smoked for 20 years.

That can't be why I have lung cancer.

It's like, Well, no, that's the point, right? And when your body is trying to whether it's, you know, making hormones, I often tease.

There was a great talk by a chiropractor friend of mine.

He used to call it the chemistry of life, and that was a talk on the endocrine system.

And it reminds me of what you're talking about.

Our body is constantly renewing, constantly regenerating, but it doesn't do that out of thin air.

There is a supernaturalness to it, but it's not out of thin air.

It's out of the parts and pieces and the nutrients and elements and vitamins and minerals that we give it, so it has what it needs to rebuild that.

God gave us the perfect design.

I sometimes use the metaphor, if I was gonna add an addition onto my house, if I have the greatest builder, God, but he shows up and I don't have, I got rusty bent nails and old rotten wood.

Like the reality is, is that addition is not going to be what it should have been.

And so we play a responsibility in that.

And so we have to appreciate that or we'll just end up, you know, chasing these symptoms.
