Filtering Body Insecurities Through God’s Design
When you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror or in a group photo someone shared online, are you ever mentally snagged by critical thoughts? It’s yet another element of our lives where shame can call the shots.
In this episode, I want to share with you some examples of how body shame can distort how we see ourselves, how we see others, and especially how we see God. God has absolutely wired us to appreciate beauty, but I want to challenge you with a deeper understanding of his intentions for doing so. I’ll also share some ideas of how to ask God to release you from the trap of body shame and criticism when it surfaces.
In this episode you’ll learn:
How sin fuels the lie behind every body shaming thought
Why beauty is about God’s glory at its core
How to run to God with your ungracious evaluations of yourself
How to reframe your thinking by giving thanks for what your body can do
Why refusing to believe God’s opinion of us keeps us trapped in delusion
