Summary
There are millions of women who love Jesus searching for fitness and wholeness answers. They long to get rid of the weight, they don't know how to deal with their ever changing hormones, they want to have the energy and desire to workout, they want to look in the mirror and love who they see, they just want to feel good in their body, and they need help.
But the Church and Christian community participate in the shaming, judgment, and are silent when it comes to health, fitness, and body image answers. Why?
This episode speaks to those who:
Have been body shamed whether they're overweight or fit.
Feel judged for the way they look.
Are hurt by legalism, rejection, and judgment.
The Bible is our instruction manual for life and we need it in every aspect of our lives. God desires wellness and wholeness for us, so let's listen to the Bible more than anyone else's opinion. Deal?
Quote:
Be so CONFIDENT about how God made you,
That you forgive those who judge and reject you…
Scripture and Biblical foundation:
"Do not look at his appearance or his stature because I have rejected him. Humans do not see what the Lord sees, for humans see what is visible, but the Lord sees the heart." – 1 Samuel 16:7
With a heart full of hope for you, sweet friend!
