I Tested 9 Grains for Freshly Milled Bread… The Winner Shocked Me

I Tested 9 Grains for Freshly Milled Bread — From Worst to Best   If your freshly milled bread is turning out dense, heavy, or bland, the problem may not be your mill — it may be your grain. In this episode, Annette ranks nine popular grains from least ideal to best for baking bread and explains how each one affects flavor, texture, gluten strength, and rise. Every grain has its own personality, and knowing how to use them makes all the difference.   Understanding Each Grain's Strengths and Weaknesses   From gluten-free millet and oats to ancient grains like einkorn, rye, emmer, kamut, and spelt, Annette walks you through what each grain brings to your loaf. Some add sweetness and tenderness. Others bring deep, earthy flavor or strong gluten for a high rise. You'll learn why certain grains work best blended with wheat, which ones can stand alone, and how small percentage changes can dramatically improve your bread's texture and taste.   The Best Grains for Strong, Beautiful Loaves   Hard red wheat delivers bold flavor and excellent structure, making it a classic artisan choice. Hard white wheat takes the top spot for versatility, mild flavor, and dependable rise, especially for beginners. Annette also shares practical blending tips like pairing spelt with kamut or adding oats for moisture, helping you create bread that is soft, flavorful, and nourishing.   Bake with Confidence and Purpose   Freshly milled bread is more than a recipe. It is a return to real food the way God designed it. When you choose whole grains in their pure form, you restore nutrition, improve digestion, and bring deeper flavor to your kitchen. This episode gives you the clarity and confidence to choose the right grains, bake with intention, and enjoy bread that truly satisfies.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How to Rewire Your Brain and Increase Neuroplasticity — God's Blueprint for Renewing Your Mind   Did you know your thoughts can physically change your brain? In this episode, Annette shares powerful science and biblical truth about neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to rewire itself. When you learn to take every thought captive and renew your mind, you don't just feel different. Your brain actually changes.   What Happens in Your Brain When You Capture Your Thoughts   Research shows that intentionally redirecting your thoughts thickens areas of the brain responsible for learning, empathy, emotional regulation, and compassion. At the same time, it shrinks areas linked to fear, stress, and anxiety. Neuroscientist Andrew Newberg even discovered measurable brain changes in individuals who practiced centering prayer and disciplined thinking over time. This is experience-dependent neuroplasticity in action — your brain reshapes itself based on what you repeatedly think.   Why Your Brain Defaults to Negative Thinking   Your brain is wired with a negativity bias. It holds onto criticism like Velcro and lets positive moments slide off like Teflon. It also wanders nearly half the time. But Scripture gives us the solution. When we choose to think on what is true, noble, and good, we retrain our mental pathways. By focusing on gratitude, capturing guilt-driven thoughts, and aligning our minds with God's Word, we weaken old patterns and build stronger, healthier ones.   You Can Grow New Brain Cells at Any Age   Science now confirms what Scripture has long implied — renewal is possible. Through neurogenesis, you can grow new brain cells in memory centers like the hippocampus. Capturing thoughts, strengthening focus, and practicing intentional thinking increases gray matter, improves self-control, enhances planning ability, and sharpens attention. You are not stuck with the brain you have today.   Renew Your Mind, Transform Your Life   When you consistently take thoughts captive, you become more comfortable in your own skin. You are no longer driven by fear, anger, or guilt. Instead, you step into clarity, confidence, and peace. This episode reveals how connecting biblical truth with neuroscience creates breakthrough — spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Your transformation begins with a single thought.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

I Fixed My Muffins With These Grains — Best Flours for Muffins, Biscuits, and Pancakes   If your muffins turn out dense or your pancakes taste flat, it might not be your recipe — it's your flour. In this episode, Annette reveals the best grains for soft, tender baked goods and which ones to avoid if you want light, flavorful results. You'll learn how choosing the right flour can completely change your baking and your health.   The Secret to Light and Tender Bakes   Annette explains how high-protein bread flours create structure, while low-gluten grains make soft, melt-in-your-mouth textures. She ranks seven top grains — from hard red wheat to spelt, einkorn, emmer, rye, and soft white wheat — and shares which combinations give perfect results for muffins, cookies, biscuits, and pancakes.   Why Freshly Milled Grains Matter   Freshly milled grains retain all the natural oils, vitamins, and minerals that store-bought flour loses. Annette shows how this simple change adds flavor, nutrition, and digestibility to every bake. You'll also hear how ancient grains like spelt, emmer, and einkorn bring warmth, sweetness, and better digestion — while soft white wheat delivers unbeatable tenderness.   Perfect Blends for Every Bake   For the best muffins, Annette suggests combining soft white wheat with spelt or einkorn. For biscuits, 100% soft white wheat gives the perfect flaky texture. And for cookies or pancakes, einkorn adds buttery flavor with a light golden finish. These small adjustments make your baked goods not only delicious but easier to digest and more nourishing for your family.   Bake the Way God Designed   When you return to real, whole grains as God created them, you bring both health and joy back to the kitchen. This episode reminds us that the best food isn't about shortcuts — it's about using the ingredients God made to bless your home with flavor, wellness, and love.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How I Eat Healthy on a Budget — What I Actually Buy at the Grocery Store   Think eating healthy has to be expensive? Think again. In this episode, Annette takes you on a grocery store tour to show exactly how to shop smart, save money, and still fill your cart with nutritious, God-made foods. You'll learn how to make wise choices in every aisle — from produce and protein to pantry staples — all while trusting God to stretch your grocery budget.   Smart Grocery Shopping With God's Wisdom   Annette reminds us that God knows your needs and your budget. When you ask Him for guidance, He can lead you to the right foods and even the best deals. She shares practical tips for shopping the produce section, choosing organic when it matters most, and finding markdowns without sacrificing quality. You'll discover why buying whole foods — like fresh vegetables, beans, rice, and potatoes — gives you more nutrition for less money.   What to Buy (and Avoid) in Every Aisle   Learn how to pick affordable, nutrient-dense options like Yukon and red potatoes, dried beans, and wild-caught fish while skipping overpriced or processed items. Annette also explains how to choose real cheese over pre-shredded, find quality eggs, and compare the value of frozen versus fresh vegetables. In the pantry section, she breaks down which nut butters and rice are worth buying and which labels to avoid — like corn syrup, refined oils, and added sugars.   Faith-Based Stewardship in Everyday Choices   Eating healthy on a budget isn't about cutting corners — it's about stewardship. Annette shows how God's design for food naturally saves money when we return to real, whole ingredients. Whether you're shopping for a family or just starting your health journey, this episode will help you eat well, honor your body, and stay within your means — all through simple biblical wisdom.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

I Tested 4 Types of Oats — Which Are Good and Which to Avoid   Oats are one of the most common breakfast foods, but not all oats are created equal. In this episode, Annette reveals what she discovered after testing four popular types of oats — and which one delivers the best nutrition, taste, and digestion. You'll also learn how to choose clean, affordable oats that align with God's design for health.   The Truth About Oats and Nutrition   Oats are packed with B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, zinc, and fiber that help lower cholesterol, balance hormones, and reduce stress. But there's one big problem — many oats are sprayed with harmful chemicals like glyphosate and chloroquat. Annette shares how to avoid these toxins by buying unsprayed oat groats and preparing them at home. When eaten as God designed, oats can support gut health, heart function, and even help prevent diabetes and cancer.   The Experiment: 4 Types of Oats Compared   Annette compares old-fashioned rolled oats, steel-cut oats, instant oatmeal packets, and freshly flaked oats made from whole oat groats. Using a simple enzyme test, she demonstrates how freshly flaked oats digest faster, absorb better, and provide more nutrients than processed ones. Store-bought oats, especially flavored packets, remain partly undigested and lose most of their natural oils and vitamin E.   Why Freshly Flaked Oats Are Best   Flaking your own oats at home keeps all the fiber, minerals, and antioxidants intact. It also helps you save money, stretch meals, and store food longer. Freshly flaked oats cook faster, taste better, and are gentle on the digestive system. Annette explains how to use oats in bread, cookies, soups, burgers, granola, and even smoothies to nourish your family affordably and naturally.   Eat the Way God Designed   When you choose foods in their purest form, your body responds with healing and energy. Oats are one of God's good foods — but only when eaten the way He made them. Skip the processed packets and start flaking your own for real nutrition, satisfaction, and stewardship of your health.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

The Healing Diet in the Bible — What to Eat and Avoid for Lasting Health   What if the key to health and healing has been in the Bible all along? In this episode, Annette answers questions about what the Bible truly says about food — from the Mediterranean diet and clean eating to whether unclean foods are still unclean today. You'll discover how God's design for eating brings not only physical health but also spiritual peace.   The Three Biblical Nutrition Principles   Annette shares the foundation of a truly biblical diet: eat the foods God called good, eat them as close to His original design as possible, and never let food become an addiction. These three principles form the core of living in alignment with God's design for health. When you follow them, you experience renewed energy, balanced emotions, and a body that heals naturally.   Is the Mediterranean Diet Biblical?   The Mediterranean diet — when done right — closely mirrors the foods of the Bible. Annette explains how it emphasizes olive oil, wild-caught fish rich in omega-3s, greens, legumes, and fruits — all foods God created for nourishment. She also shares a simple prayerful approach to grocery shopping, asking God to guide you toward the best choices within your budget.   What About Wine and Unclean Foods?   The episode dives deep into common questions about whether Christians should drink wine or eat foods the Bible calls unclean. Annette explains that while wine was used in biblical times, moderation and intention matter — it should never become a coping mechanism or source of dependence. As for unclean foods, God's Word hasn't changed; animals that were unclean in the Old Testament remain so today. Modern science even confirms that these foods — like pork and shellfish — cause inflammation and disease when consumed regularly.   God's Recipe for Excellent Health   The foods God designed are life-giving, while man-altered foods cause harm. When you eat the way God intended — whole, fresh, and unprocessed — you experience true healing. This episode is both a spiritual and physical reminder that aligning your meals with His wisdom leads to lasting vitality and peace.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

Is Fluoride Bad for You? The Truth About What's in Your Water   Could something in your tap water be silently damaging your health? In this episode, Annette sits down with Dr. David Brownstein to uncover the truth about fluoride — a chemical added to most public water supplies that may be doing more harm than good.   The Hidden Dangers of Fluoride Exposure   Dr. Brownstein explains how fluoride and bromide — two toxic halides — block iodine absorption in the body. Iodine is essential for brain function, thyroid health, fertility, and metabolism. When fluoride replaces iodine in your tissues, it disrupts your hormones, weakens immunity, and can even increase the risk of cancer. Despite this, the U.S. and New Zealand remain among the few countries still adding fluoride to their water — even though no clear evidence shows it prevents tooth decay.   How Fluoride Competes With Iodine   Fluoride is part of the same chemical family as iodine, but it serves no purpose in the human body. There are no fluoride receptors in your cells — only iodine receptors. When fluoride enters your system, it displaces iodine, leading to deficiency symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, thyroid imbalance, and hormonal issues. Dr. Brownstein reveals how increasing iodine intake can help detoxify fluoride and bromide naturally.   Choosing Health and Truth   Fluoridated water means you're being medicated without consent. The best solution is to take back control — use filtered water, avoid fluoridated products, and nourish your body with the nutrients God intended. This episode is a reminder that true health begins when you align with God's wisdom for how your body was created to heal and thrive.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How to Do the 21-Day Daniel Fast — Complete Guide to Spiritual and Physical Renewal   Ready to begin the Daniel Fast but not sure where to start? In this episode, Annette walks you step-by-step through how to do the 21-day Daniel Fast — from what to eat, what to avoid, and how to make it a deeply spiritual experience that brings both physical and emotional transformation.   A Fast That Strengthens Body and Spirit   The Daniel Fast is more than a diet — it's a covenant between you and God. Annette explains how this fast allows you to deepen your faith, hear God's voice more clearly, and break unhealthy food habits. While Daniel's fasts in the Bible varied, the modern 21-day version focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and pure water — foods that nourish your body while keeping your heart focused on prayer and gratitude.   Foods to Eat and Avoid   You'll learn exactly what to include in your Daniel Fast: fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, legumes like chickpeas and lentils, whole grains such as brown rice or quinoa, nuts and seeds, and healthy oils like olive and coconut. Annette also shares which foods to avoid — processed foods, animal products, refined sugars, and fried foods. She encourages choosing unprocessed ingredients and avoiding canned goods when possible, but reminds listeners not to "let the rules overrule the experience".   Real Results, Real Testimonies   Annette shares a personal story of transformation. Within just one month of following the Daniel Fast, her husband's cholesterol dropped from over 300 to 160, and his triglycerides fell from 900 to 140 — all through fiber-rich, God-made foods. But beyond the physical results, the greatest transformation comes from the spiritual renewal that happens when you seek God through fasting.   God's Recipe for Lasting Health   This episode is a practical and faith-filled guide to doing the Daniel Fast the right way — not as a restriction, but as a restoration. When you align your eating with God's design, you experience more energy, clarity, and peace. Annette reminds listeners that this fast isn't just about food — it's about reconnecting with God, renewing your mind, and living in the fullness of His plan for your health.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

Why 97% Are Iodine Deficient — The Simple Fix That Could Save Your Health   Could a single missing nutrient be behind today's rise in thyroid problems, fatigue, infertility, and brain fog? In this episode, Annette sits down with Dr. David Brownstein — one of the world's leading experts on iodine — to uncover the shocking truth about why nearly everyone is deficient and how this simple mineral could transform your health.   The Hidden Epidemic of Iodine Deficiency   Dr. Brownstein explains that over 97% of people tested are deficient in iodine — an essential element required by every cell in the body. The thyroid, breasts, ovaries, and prostate depend on it to function properly. When iodine levels drop, problems like goiter, hypothyroidism, infertility, breast cancer, and even developmental disorders in children can emerge. Yet most doctors rarely test for it or discuss its importance.   Why Modern Life Depletes Iodine   Our iodine levels have been declining for decades due to processed food, soil depletion, and the widespread use of fluoride and bromide — two chemicals that block iodine absorption. Dr. Brownstein reveals how prenatal vitamins often lack enough iodine for expectant mothers, leading to developmental issues in babies, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue later in life. He also discusses the best ways to test for deficiency and when supplementation may be necessary.   How to Restore Balance Naturally   Iodine isn't just about thyroid health — it's about total body wellness. When your body gets enough, energy rises, brain fog lifts, and metabolism normalizes. Dr. Brownstein shares stories of women who reversed infertility, restored thyroid function, and regained their energy simply by correcting iodine deficiency. Through testing, real food, and faith-based care, you can restore your health the way God designed it.   God's Design for Healing   Your body was created with wisdom and purpose. Iodine is one of God's building blocks for vitality and longevity. When you provide your body with the nutrients He intended, you activate its natural ability to heal, thrive, and bring glory to Him.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.

How to Heal Your Gut Naturally — The Biblical Way   If you've been feeling tired, moody, or constantly craving unhealthy foods, the problem may not be your willpower — it's your gut. In this episode, Annette explains how your digestive system is the foundation of your health, your energy, and even your mood, and how to restore it through God's perfect design.   The Gut-Brain Connection God Designed   Your gut produces 95% of your serotonin — the hormone that helps you feel happy and calm. When it's inflamed or imbalanced, your entire body suffers. Annette reveals how praising God with your voice can actually stimulate the vagus nerve — connecting your brain and gut to promote healing. You'll also learn how fermented foods, raw dairy, bone broth, and fiber-rich vegetables rebuild the gut lining and restore your mood and immune strength.   How Processed Foods Destroy the Gut   Modern "lab foods" — refined grains, seed oils, sugars, and additives — damage the mucosal barrier that protects your gut, allowing toxins to leak into the bloodstream. Annette shows how this leads to brain fog, inflammation, and disease, while real, whole foods repair the gut's protective layers. She also shares the importance of choosing unrefined salt, freshly milled grains, and natural fats to rebuild your cells and support digestion the way God intended.   Healing Starts With Stewardship   Gut healing isn't about perfection — it's about stewardship. When you choose real foods, eat with gratitude, and align your body with God's design, you strengthen your immunity, renew your energy, and heal from the inside out. This episode is a powerful reminder that every meal is an act of worship — and that healing begins when you eat the foods God called good.   ==   Did this episode bless you?   We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.
