Summary

In this episode, we dive into the reality of Christians battling eating disorders and distorted body image. My special guest, Nicoletta shares her personal journey of struggling with eating disorders, and sheds light on the emotional and spiritual aspects that intertwine with these battles. From distorted self-perceptions to societal pressures, we explore how body image struggles can impact one's relationship with God and others.

Leaning on God's unchanging Word, we discuss how the Lord offers a compassionate and healing approach to overcoming these very real struggles. This episode touches on themes of self-acceptance, worthiness, and finding strength in God's unconditional love.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of eating disorders, body image struggles, and mental health challenges that may be triggering for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised. If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, please seek professional help.
