TO INVITE ME TO SPEAK:
Want to have Allen come and speak at your next event?

[philc.]

On any Sunday, you could walk into almost any Southern Baptist church in America and enjoy doughnuts and coffee before Sunday School, a potluck dinner after the service, or an ice cream social. Many of our church activities are centered on food. Food is a gift but obviously can be overdone. Thanks for the applicable topic.

[leaterry]

I called it compulsive over eating. When I started calling it what it is, gluttony, I prayed for forgiveness and God has helped me to change my eating habits. Losing weight finally. Eating to be healthy.

[gameenderb]

My number one key to not overeating, which I fail at but ALWAYS works - when I want to snack or eat something unhealthy, pray for God to help me resist the temptation. He does. Every. Time.

[TM-zgmw]

Video suggestion: overcoming laziness or idleness. Thank you!

[risspectable]

“Obesity. I’m calling you out by name.” That really hurt my feelings, but man was it the truth (Proverbs 28:13). When the video started I kinda rolled my eyes and almost clicked off. Why? Because I knew I was going to be convicted.
I love that we can use the Word of God to help with food/getting healthy/weight loss. God is so good! Thanks for sharing brother Allen!

I’ve NEVER ONCE heard a pastor preach on gluttony spiritual fasting, except here on YouTube. Thank you for talking about this! 😊

[melikeymalarky]

I’ve always dealt with this issue and never understand why the fat pastors seemed to judge others for everything else, acting like this isn’t a thing. I’m so glad to hear you bring this topic up.

[joonbug]

I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I don’t watch porn. I don’t cheat on my husband. But I love to eat! And sometimes I remember that there’s one of my favorite snacks back there in that pantry and I just get up and go get it and I’m not even hungry! So, yes, this video was for me. And I thank you for it. God bless you.

My pastor growing up was at least 300lb. His wife was 500lb at one point. I love them DEARLY and they really helped shape a lot of my understanding of things. She also struggled with hoarding. And no one talked about it. Of course, no one should have talked to me about it, because I was a child. But it was like an inside joke that she consumed too much. She desperately needed help, but it wasn’t seen as something she needed help for. And most pastors are overweight I’d say, so many don’t want to call themselves out. I appreciate Allen being so forthcoming and honest.

[jessicamdenham]

Can you do one on the difference between righteous and unrighteous anger?

[noodle.soup]

ive put "getting to a healthy weight" on my prayer list. With Christ I can do it!

[timm]

Brother Allen like you I am thin but have struggled with this sin my entire life. Thank you

[alexandriarcollins]

Very true, skinny ppl can struggle w gluttony too!

[janellestoermer]

I think being obsessed with health (counting calories, being too into dieting, etc) can become an idol too, kind of "reverse gluttony." Calorie counting and dieting are not bad, any more than simply eating is, but having a preoccupation or obsession is another way of having an unhealthy relationship with food.

[theguybehindyou]

Addressing gluttony is long overdue, and I cannot understand how we allowed it to get this bad in the first place.

[Crgb]

Wow. Right on time. Had to be the Lord! I was just thinking about how I'm going to overcome overindulgence at the Christmas party I'm going to tonight 😣

[covevalley]

My first visit to Atlanta First Baptist, Charles Stanley preached on gluttony and slothfulness. I’m sure he covered some other sins too, but it was the first time I’d heard those called out, and I needed to hear it. Brave minister preaching the Word. I joined the church.

[molivah]

Ps: posting this right before the Christmas season with ALL the holiday recipes…oh my! So hard!

[Americagether]

Happy to see/hear you back brother. Your as steady as Big Ben. Lot's of people are praying for you...keep fighting.

[Veracityseeker]

This is refreshing. I have been talking with some of my sisters in Christ, about how this is the one sin that is never ever ever mentioned.
