Heather Creekmore joins Amber to discuss negative body image, how we make body image an idol, and the greatest transformation story of all–salvation.

SHOW NOTES cont.

“By the time I got to college, I was feasting and fasting consistently.”

“That’s when He showed me that I was chasing a body image idol and that was the spiritual root of my issues.”

“I think what happens too often, even in the church, is that we take Scripture, and we turn it into self esteem mantras.”

“God did make us for a purpose. We are his masterpiece. We’re the imago dei. We’re made in the image of God. But if we turn all the focus on us, as we remember that it’s almost as foolish as looking at the Mona Lisa and praising the Mona Lisa instead of praising Da Vinci.”

“If you are a believer and following Jesus, He’s given us a before and after story that is so much more awesome than losing some weight or transforming our bodies.”
