Jordan Rubin on The Biblio Diet: God’s Plan for Health & Wellness

Join this conversation with Jewish follower of Jesus Jordan Rubin, for an exclusive glimpse into his faith journey and the story behind his newest NY Times best-selling book, The Biblio Diet. We delve into the ancient wisdom of the Bible that is confirmed by modern science, including food, fasting, and farming. We also explore where FFOZ’s Biblically Kosher intersects—and diverges—from The Biblio Diet. Transcending what we put on our plates, this episode delves into creation, covenant, and even the future God is preparing for us. 👉 Key Discussion Points: ► The "Biblio Diet" Approach to Food Laws: Guest Jordan Rubin presents the idea of the "Biblio Diet" as a biblically based lifestyle that views the Bible's food passages as the key to health and longevity for everyone. The term Biblio Diet means to "eat by the book"—both the Bible and doing things as they were intended. ► The Physiological Rationale for Clean Animals: The designation of clean animals (like ruminants that chew the cud and have split hooves) is based on their unique digestive systems, which efficiently process fibrous, undigestible materials into highly nutritious, healthy meat loaded with essential nutrients like protein, B12, iron, and good fats. Conversely, detestable animals, such as pigs and shellfish, were functionally created to be the earth's "garbage cans" or "toilet bowls," making them physiologically unfit for human consumption. ► The Spiritual and Physical Benefits of Fasting: Fasting is a vital, biblically supported practice that offers both physical and spiritual benefits, leading to promises like "your healing will spring forth speedily" (Isaiah 58). Daily or intermittent fasting allows the body time to rest, repair, cleanse, and detoxify. By pushing back the first meal, even partial fasting can yield amazing results, and the feeling of hunger can become a great time to cling to God. 🔖 Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guests 01:54 Jordan Rubin's Journey as a Messianic Jew 04:28 Understanding the Biblio Diet 11:56 The Importance of Clean and Unclean Animals 17:13 Science & Spiritual Implications of Dietary Choices 26:54 Covenantal Perspectives on Food 20:57 The Role of Personal Conviction in Dietary Choices 40:45 Exploring Fasting and Its Benefits 50:18 Regenerative Farming for The Garden of Eden 2.0 56:20 Healing Leaves: Nature's Medicine 👉 Resources The Biblio Diet: https://www.jordanrubin.com/thebiblio...
