Summary

Whether we make time to sweat-it-out everyday or getting off the couch feels overwhelmingly difficult right now, most moms have noticed that our capacity for physical fitness varies from season to season. We might exercise for our health or because we long to “get our body back” after baby, but what does Scripture say about our motivations and time investments? In this live-recorded episode from The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference, Emily and Laura take a fresh look at what it means to pursue fitness in motherhood through the lens of the gospel. God created our bodies with purpose and intention, each to proclaim his glory—how might we honor his design in that today?

0:49.0	podcast and ministry and we're aging it up showing how the gospel principles we were
0:52.9	applying when our kids were babies and toddlers still work for the things we're facing today
0:57.6	over a decade into motherhood.
0:59.6	So in those early years, one of the things we talked a lot about was postpartum body image.
