About this listen

What if the disconnection you feel—from your health, your peace, even from God—isn't random?

What if it's because we've stepped away from the rhythms He designed for us?

In this episode of A Quiet Hallelujah, I take you back to the Alberta farm where I first understood what it meant to participate in creation. I share our family's journey from veganism to carnivore eating, how our health transformed when we returned to real food, and why this shift brought us closer to God in ways I never expected.

We explore what the Bible actually says about our relationship with food and creation—from Genesis 1:28 (our call to steward the earth) to Genesis 9:3 (God's permission to eat meat) to Matthew 22:39 (loving our neighbour through shared abundance). Spoiler: we're not called back to Eden. We're called to shepherd the earth with gratitude and intention.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The vegan-to-carnivore journey and how ancestral eating healed our family (including my youngest's transformation)• The hidden history of our food system: how seed oils (originally industrial byproducts) were marketed as "healthy"

• Why returning to traditional foods is a spiritual practice, not just a health trend

• What scripture says about taking life, honouring animals, and eating with gratitude• Practical ways to reconnect with creation rhythms—even on a quarter-acre rental

This isn't about perfection. It's about direction. One small step back toward the rhythm God designed is a step back toward Him.

Whether you're already on an ancestral living journey or you're just curious about the connection between real food and real faith, this episode will challenge how you think about your kitchen, your health, and your relationship with creation.
