The Strong Women Podcast S5 22: A Non-Obsessive Approach to Caring for Our Bodies with Lainey Greer (Re-Air)
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, I’m re-airing an interview about these questions with Lainey Greer. Lainey uses her unique background of exercise science and systematic theology to equip Christians with a biblical view of the body. We talk about the big picture of stewarding our health and what that looks like practically.
