Episode 25: Your Body Is a Temple, Not a Trend


Listen Later

Culture tells us our worth is found in how we look, skinny, curvy, toned, or “on trend.” But God calls our bodies something far greater: His temple. In this episode of the Rooted & Radiant series, Susie gets real about the struggle with body image, diet culture, and the constant pressure to keep up with shifting standards.

Through Scripture, personal stories, and practical rhythms, you’ll discover how to move, eat, and rest in ways that honor God, not culture. This isn’t about striving or shame, it’s about freedom. Freedom to see your body as a gift, to embrace your feminine rhythms, and to live strong, healthy, and rooted in Christ.

✨ Inside this episode you’ll learn:

Why 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 is a verse of freedom, not fear

How to shift your mindset from punishment to stewardship in fitness

Ways to use food as fuel without obsessing over diets or detoxes

The beauty of honoring your God given feminine design

Your body was never meant to be a billboard for trends. It’s a sacred space for the Spirit. And when you live from that truth, you’ll find joy, peace, and strength that no cultural standard can offer. 🌸
