Summary
Have you ever felt consumed with fixing your body, controlling your food, or measuring your worth by what you see in the mirror?
This struggle may not just be physical. It may be spiritual.
In this episode of the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, I share how the enemy uses distraction, extremes, perfectionism, and pressure around body image, weight, and fitness to keep Christian women disconnected from their calling.
If the enemy can keep you consumed with your body, he can keep you distracted from your calling!
But God has already equipped you to walk in freedom.

| 0:00.0 | Did you know the enemy attacks women through their body? |
| 0:04.4 | I need you to understand something clearly today. |
| 0:07.7 | Your struggle with your body is not random. |
| 0:12.1 | The obsession, the comparison, the being hard on yourself, the pressure, the trying to be perfect, the guilt, that feeling that your peace rises and falls based on |
| 0:23.7 | the number on the scale or what you see in the mirror. This is not just physical. This is spiritual. |
| 0:31.9 | Because the enemy knows. He knows just how to get us. He knows something most women don't realize. If he can keep you |
| 0:41.0 | consumed with your body, he can keep you distracted from your calling. Woo! Let me say that again. |
| 0:48.4 | If the enemy can keep you distracted and consumed with your body, he can derail your calling. I said it a little different |

| 1:31.9 | Our weight, our food, our workouts, our appearance. |
| 1:36.1 | And this message is clear. |
| 1:40.2 | Worth is tied to how well you manage your body, right? |
| 1:46.5 | But extremes are where the enemy thrives, not in stewardship in extremes. |
| 1:53.7 | Because extremes create, they create instability, if you will. |
| 2:00.4 | And instability creates distraction. |
| 2:04.2 | I love First Peter 5.8. |
