Monday Motivation - Stop Eating Spiritual Junk Food

Jan 5, 2026

Stop eating spiritual junk food. This Monday Motivation challenges what’s shaping your faith and why feeling good isn’t the same as being spiritually healthy.

If your faith feels weak, foggy, or shallow, this message is for you.

As 2026 begins, this Monday Motivation uses a simple but honest analogy:

junk food versus real nourishment.

Just like sugary food feels good in the moment but leaves you sluggish later, spiritual junk food works the same way. Cultural phrases like “follow your heart” or “live your truth” sound freeing, but Scripture warns us that what seems right can still lead us in the wrong direction.

In this message, we unpack why sincerity is not the same as truth, and why faith built on quick quotes, emotional validation, or shallow encouragement collapses under pressure.

Jesus didn’t offer spiritual snacks.

He offered real nourishment.

“I am the bread of life.” — John 6:35 (ESV)

This video will challenge you to examine:

What voices are shaping your thinking

What you’re consuming daily, spiritually

Why truth must shape emotions, not the other way around

How Scripture sustains faith when life gets heavy

As you start the year, the question is simple but uncomfortable:

What are you feeding your soul?

📌 Challenge for the week:

Identify one piece of spiritual junk food and replace it with time in Scripture.
