Health Secrets &

Super Foods of the Bible

Ancient Secrets. Modern Health.

with Pastor Chuck Kohley

Give Watch the first look

Take a walk through the Bible’s ancient secrets about food, health and longevity.

First look

The films

The new films take you into the Bible’s world: the physicians of Egypt, the camp at Sinai, the night Babylon fell. Pastor Chuck walks right into these moments, a witness the ancient world never sees.

First look coming soon

Pastor Chuck leans over a bowl of dark poultice in an Egyptian physician’s lamp-lit room while the physician binds a laborer’s hand

Egypt Among the physicians

“…in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.” Jeremiah 46:11
Pastor Chuck steps out of a boulder’s shadow into the desert sun at the foot of Mount Sinai, where women grind manna and bake it into cakes

Sinai The camp of Israel

“This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.” Exodus 16:15
At night in the lowered bed of the Euphrates, Pastor Chuck wades the water at the center of the frame as the army of Cyrus wades past him toward an open gate in Babylon’s wall

Babylon The river runs low

“That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers.” Isaiah 44:27
In Belshazzar’s hall, Pastor Chuck braces against the wall at left as Persian soldiers storm in with torches and the lords flee past the king’s throne

Babylon The king’s hall

“In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.” Daniel 5:30

Nine centuries later

With your help, every session will have films like these.

The camp of Israel at night beneath the pillar of fire

If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Exodus 15:26

Spoken at Marah, three days past the Red Sea.

The camp of Israel at Sinai with the pillar of cloud over the tabernacle

“The Egyptians, like many physicians today, were concerned with cures. God’s instructions were concerned with prevention.”

Pastor Chuck Kohley

Heart disease is not new. When researchers CT-scanned 76 ancient Egyptian mummies, 38 percent showed hardened arteries.

Thompson et al., the Horus study, The Lancet, 2013.

In the wilderness, God gave Israel laws for clean food, clean camps and isolating the sick, centuries before anyone knew about germs. He also wrote into the Ten Commandments the weekly Sabbath rest He set apart at creation.

Leviticus 11; 13:46. Numbers 5:1–4. Deuteronomy 23:12–14. Genesis 2:2–3. Exodus 20:8–11.

From Eden to heaven’s table

Twelve evenings trace God’s plan for what we eat, from the first garden to the last.

  1. Figs and a pomegranate broken open on linen

    Genesis 1:29

    The Garden of Eden diet

    “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed… and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”

    God’s first menu was seeds, grains and fruit. See why the foods of the garden still belong at the center of the plate.

  2. A sheaf of ripe grain and scattered kernels on a floured wooden plank

    Ezekiel 4:9

    The prophet Ezekiel’s bread

    “Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof…”

    Six humble grains and beans in one loaf, given to a prophet in a time of siege. Watch it made, then taste it at the table.

  3. A bowl of lentils and chickpeas with fresh herbs set beside a clay cup of water

    Daniel 1:12

    Daniel’s formula for looking great in ten days

    “Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.”

    A young captive turned down the king’s table and asked for simple food. Ten days later, he and his friends looked healthier than everyone who ate the king’s portion (Daniel 1:15).

  4. A clear river winding through green land beneath a golden tree

    Revelation 22:2

    Heaven’s diet plan

    “…the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”

    The story ends where it began: at a tree, with fruit every month and leaves for the healing of the nations.

A mother’s hands set a stoppered clay jar of water beside a basket of manna cakes on a stone outside the camp

How churches use it

From the supper table to the prophecy seminar.

Hold Super Foods of the Bible once a week or once a month. Neighbors come for the film and the meal, and friendships grow around the table.

When your prophecy seminar opens, the film and the meal move to the hour before it, once a week, so your guests are already in the room.

These are just a couple of examples of how to use it. Plan it the way that fits your church.

About the program
