A Prisoner of Appetite: Food Drunkenness Blocks Heavenly Power

By Shane Idleman Published on July 18, 2025

In this new sermon, Pastor Shane Idleman unpacks a very important topic that is seldom discussed. It controls many facets of our life — from joy and productivity to conquering sin or preventing the fullness of the Spirit. It has a deadly grip on the young as well as the old. It doesn’t care about nationality, color, or creed — and it’s hell-bent on destroying us from the inside out.

But praise God; there is a way to defeat it.
