- the connection between diet culture and purity culture
- And what it looks like to let God meet our needs in unexpected ways
Today you get to hear from a guest who was on our podcast back in season 5. We are so pumped to have Kendall Vanderslice back in the house. Kendall is a baker, writer, and speaker, as well as the founder of the Edible Theology Project, a ministry that connects the Communion table to the kitchen table. She is a graduate of Wheaton College (BA Anthropology), Boston University (MLA Gastronomy), and Duke Divinity School (Master of Theological Studies). Her bylines include Christianity Today, Bitter Southerner, Christian Century, Religion News Service, and Faith & Leadership, as well as her book We Will Feast (Eerdmans 2019). Kendall lives in Durham, North Carolina, with her big-eared beagle named Strudel, where she teaches workshops on bread baking as a spiritual practice.
You can follow Kendall on Instagram @knvslice and @edibletheologyproject. Visit her online at www.kendallvanderslice.com. By Bread Alone is available today wherever you buy books. You can listen to her podcast, Kitchen Meditations, wherever you get your podcasts.

The Single Christian's Church Survival Guide isn’t a book about how to get un-single. It's about how to navigate a culture obsessed with marriage as a human who is not married. Let’s face it. Singles experience a lot of weird situations in the church. From the unwanted advice about our relationship status to the unspoken pressures of singleness, it can feel like no one knows what to do with us. These experiences are so common, we might start to wonder if we’re the weird ones. Head to Amazon and get your copy now!
