Your body was created by God and it is very good.  If that doesn’t feel true to you, this episode is for you. 

We’re challenging the lie that says your body is to blame. And that’s harder than it sounds. 

What would it look like to allow the words in this podcast to make their way from your ears to your brain, to your heart all the way to your fingertips? Be willing to believe your body is not the enemy. 

This shift in mindset matters so much as you find yourself wrestling with temptation and sin. Your body is an ally, fight for it not against it. 

Jesus himself saw fit to move into the human body. God is not against your body. He is for it. 

Are you? 

Highlights:

God is not against our bodies. God is for our bodies. 

If our bodies are bad then the incarnation of Christ ceases to make sense. 

Jesus became flesh - fully God and fully human. The incarnation of Jesus is affirmation of the goodness of the body.

Homework:

Whether you’re wrestling against pornography, food, alcohol - Consider your battle to be not against your body but FOR your body. How does that change your approach? Your choices?

Resources:

Romans 8 We are waiting the redemption of our bodies.

Romans 12:1 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship.

1 Corinthians 6 “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your bodies.”

"That which He has not assumed He has not healed.” Saint Gregory of Nazianzus
