Kindness for Your Body with Lisa Whittle - #196

Kindness for Your Body with Lisa Whittle - #196: Jennifer Iverson talks with Make It Awkward curriculum speaker Lisa Whittle about how body image affects motherhood and how to care for ourselves well.  

Powerful quotes from this episode: 

• “Whole body theology is really giving all of our body's issues foundational solid ground on which to stand. It's almost like going to scripture for body and soul 101 is what it is. It's learning that design, function and purpose that we don't otherwise know when we're over here just worried about calorie counts. And then we get it. And when we get it, we make our body decisions very differently.” - Lisa Whittle 
•  “We are so shallow sometimes to think this is just about a size or a weight. We were created in the image of God to live in our bodies. It is so crucial to understand that because it will change us in every aspect of our life. We may lose weight. We may have a better body, but I'll tell you what we will have a better body because we will be a better person, and it will change our body and soul.” - Lisa Whittle 
•  “All of these things that we do, it's all taking care of the bushes, trimming them, watering them. But getting this whole-body theology is taking care of the root system, which will allow that plant to be there for generations. And that's what we're really hoping to do.” - Jennifer Iverson
