Join Ben and Elizabeth as they finish their summer series “How We Cope” with a talk on food. All kinds of food! From Doritos to HU Chocolate bars Ben and Elizabeth talk through the gift of food but also how we often use it to cope in life. Ben starts the conversation with a quote from John Calvin “We won’t go wrong in the use of God’s gifts as long as we let their use be governed by their author’s purpose in creating and designing them for us, for truly He created them for our good, not our ruin. No one, therefore, will hold a truer course than he who carefully considers this purpose of God’s gifts.” Food, as we discover in the podcast, is a good gift from God. God is glorified as our taste buds experience its wonder.
