Episode 184: What God Has to Say about Our Bodies with Sam Allberry


Listen Later

Without unnecessary clutching of our metaphorical pearls, when we look around, it does seem like there is something going on spiritually when it comes to an attack on the human body.

What’s going on?

Pastor and author Sam Allberry, a friend of the show and author of the new book “What God Has to Say about Our Bodies: How the Gospel Is Good News for Our Physical Selves” helps us answer this question and more. Together, we explore: 

  • Why is our body an integral part of our true selves?
  • How can we walk with our friends who experience gender dysphoria?
  • Why does it seem like so many people are giving up right now when it comes to making potentially harmful choices with their bodies? 
  • How can we address gender without using a list of “This is what it is NOT,” but “This is what it is?”
  • Why is shame so often related to our bodies?
  • We’d love to have you sit your embodied self down at the podcast table and join us for this needed conversation.

    // Highlights:

    “The very yearning itself is a reflection that we’re made in God’s Image…. We sense there should be more than there is, that there should be a sense of wholeness and of satisfaction and completion that seems to elude us…. But the fact that we’re foreign means that our understanding of that is incomplete and our ways forward with that feeling are very twisted and skewed as well.” -Sam Allberry
