If you’ve ever felt frustrated with your body -- how it looks, how it feels, or how it functions — you’re not alone. So many of us have treated our bodies like problems to solve or projects to perfect, believing that if we could just “fix” them, we’d finally feel whole. But what if the invitation isn’t to control your body, but to care for it as the good gift God created it to be?

In this episode, Jordan shares the heart behind her new book Be Good to Your Body and opens up about her own journey from striving and restriction to grace and stewardship. Through personal reflection and biblical truth, she helps us reframe how we view our bodies, moving from frustration and control toward freedom and trust in the way God designed us.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your beliefs about your body shape your behaviors toward it
• How “discipline” can quietly turn into self-punishment
• The difference between supporting and controlling your body
• How to spot when wellness becomes an idol
• What Scripture says about your body as a good gift from God
• One mindset shift that can help you treat your body with grace, not guilt
