CW: This episode contains conversation about disordered eating, body shame, and bullying. Please listen with care and be well, friends.

Our culture and the church have both contributed to unhealthy, disordered ways of thinking about our bodies and the love we should show them. Some of us grew up thinking we needed to hate our bodies or discipline ourselves to avoid giving into sin. What theologies contribute to the disordered ways we can learn to eat and exist in the beautiful bodies we have?
