The Strong Women Podcast S4 10: A Non-Obsessive Approach to Caring for Our Bodies With Lainey Greer
Many of us struggle with body image. Our bodies matter and we are called to care for them—but how do we do that without obsessing? What does it look like to steward our bodies? This week, Lainey Greer joins us to answer these questions. Lainey uses her unique background of exercise science and Ph.D. work in systematic theology, with an emphasis on human embodiment, to equip Christians with a biblical view of the body that applies to everyday life. We talk about the big picture of stewarding our health and what that looks like practically.
