Skincare, Soul Care & Queen Esther: Why Your Glow Matters to God #170


Listen Later

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like the outside you doesn’t reflect the vibrant, joyful person you used to be inside?

In this second episode of the Summer Soul Glow Up series, Bonnie invites you to rediscover the sacred beauty of caring for yourself — not just spiritually, but physically and emotionally too. Learn how small acts of outer care, like skincare or dressing in what makes you smile, can become powerful soul care practices that awaken your joy, calm your nervous system, and reconnect you with God’s delight in you.

Through biblical encouragement, science-backed wellness insight, and a vulnerable personal story about Queen Esther and skincare, Bonnie helps you let go of guilt and embrace a summer of sacred renewal.

Tune into this episode to remember: your glow isn’t just about how you look — it’s about how loved, worthy, and renewed you feel in God's presence.

 Key Takeaways from Today’s Soul Care:
• Why outer self-care can be sacred and soul-renewing
• How physical care helps lower stress and calm your body
• A story from Queen Esther that reshaped Bonnie’s view of skincare
• How to stop putting yourself to the side and start showing up for you
• A soul care ritual to help you begin glowing again this summer

Breath Prayer:
Inhale: I am altogether beautiful...
Exhale: There is no flaw in me

Scripture of the Week:
Song of Songs 4:7 — “You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.”
