“God’s Good Design: Reframing the Way You See Yourself” With Lisa Whittle

Have you ever looked in the mirror and immediately started critiquing what you see? From body image struggles to chronic illness, infertility, or the natural process of aging, so many of us carry quiet shame and exhaustion when it comes to our bodies. In this episode, bestselling author and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle joins us to share how Scripture offers a better foundation — what she calls "whole-body theology." Instead of chasing self-improvement or settling for hype messages from culture, Lisa reminds us of the hope, freedom, and peace that come when we understand our bodies as God’s good design. You’ll learn: Why cultural messages about “loving yourself” fall short — and how God’s Word offers something more lasting. What it means to live with a whole-body theology rooted in imago dei . How to confront cycles of shame, comparison, and self-improvement with biblical Truth. Practical encouragement for those navigating body image struggles, chronic illness, infertility, or aging.
