The Power of Self-Acceptance and Body Confidence in Christ

How we feel about our bodies and whether or not we accept ourselves impacts how we show in various areas of our life. When our values are rooted in who God says we are instead of the everchanging cultural beauty standards, we can enjoy better health, healthier relationships, and more fulfilling life.

In this episode, you will hear:

• What self-acceptance and body confidence is?

  • Biblical Definition of Body Confidence - A multifaceted word that encompasses within Christian thought a range of aspects — faith in God, certainty and assurance of one's relationship with God, a sense of boldness that is dependent on a realization of one's acceptance by God, and a conviction that one's destiny is secure in God.

• The benefits of self-acceptance and body confidence

• What is lost when we don’t choose self-acceptance and body confidence

• The role of faith and prayer in developing self-acceptance and body confidence

• How can we speak up to others when they talk about their bodies
