A week or so ago I started a new Facebook group called Plant-Based Christians. I have received a lot of email from people who are both Christians and plant-based and they were looking for resources and support. I really didn’t know of a group or forum that shared both interest so I decided to start a group on Facebook.
While most of my post are focused on plant-based eating, my life is driven by my faith. I can’t compartmentalize my faith; it may or may not be evident by my writing. I try (and fail) to be an ambassador of Christ and an ambassador of healthy living.
If you are a Christian and looking for a little plant-based support check out our group Plant-Based Christians.
There are a lot of other groups out there without religious affiliations. I’m a member of two of the Happy Herbivore groups, Herbie Parents and Gluten-free Herbies, and The Veganauts. Everything in the Happy Herbivore groups are under the Happy Herbivore umbrella so it is low-fat (no oil) and no animal products. The Veganaut group is more inclusive and open to those who are not quite committed to a plant-based lifestyle but still looking for support.
Do you know of another group that is supportive? Leave a comment below telling us about it.
Just joined! Thanks, Holly!
Yay! It is so nice to be a part of a community!
What a fantastic idea! My husband and I were JUST talking about how we wished there was a plant-based Christian group out there we could be a part of. Then, I stumbled upon your blog today. 🙂 I just joined the group on FB – looking forward to learning more!!! Thanks for setting this up!
Welcome Shelly! The Facebook group is a great group. I’m glad you found us!
What Bible verves support whole food plant based diet
So glad to find your blog! I’m not on FB, so can’t join the FB group, but am very glad to see other plant-based Christians out there : )
HI Anna! Welcome! I was so surprised about the number of plant-based Christians that reached out. There are a lot of us! Blessings to you! On my way to check out your blog!
Heartwise ministries is a great christian resource led by Dr. James March http://www.heartwiseministries.org/
Perhaps consider editing which ads appear on your site – I’m not sure if you’re aware that some of them are for ‘angel’ tarot cards, which are anti- Christian.
Also, the Lord has taught me a lot about nutrition, and though I think a plant- based diet is good, he has definitely warned me against ‘veganism’, which is a spirit connected with self righteousness and judgement of others.
Hi Rose,
Unfortunately I don’t control the ads on my site. They are based on cookies from other sites users visit. So right now, I see ads for grocery stores, office supply stores, my internet/phone company, etc.
I don’t have a problem with people using the label vegan. I personally use plant-based to describe the way I eat, there are times when I’ll describe food that doesn’t contain meat or dairy, but that isn’t whole food as vegan.
I’m grateful that God has a plan and leads us and teaches us. For me, He is teaching me to trust Him and embrace people just as they are. I do my best not to judge people, even if they live differently than me. Judgement isn’t a job I want, only God is qualified. I hope people feel the love of Jesus and never judgement from me.
This is fantastic idea! I’ve been wanting to start a business sharing my faith and my plant-based lifestyle but I wasn’t sure if there were others out there like me. I’m so happy to have found you and your FB group! I look forward to connecting with like-minded believers. 😀
