    Botox, Weight Loss and What God Actually Says About Our Body with Lisa Whittle | Episode 333
    Jun 25 2025
    In a world that’s constantly telling us to change our bodies, Lisa Whittle is inviting us to reclaim them. In this powerful conversation, we sit down with Lisa to talk about her brand-new Bible study, Body and Soul: A Biblical Look at the Whole Person God Created You to Be. From anti-aging serums to fad diets and fitness fads, we’re bombarded with messages that our bodies are problems to solve. But what if—just what if—our bodies were good? What if we stopped striving and started seeing our whole selves the way God does? Lisa walks us through how Scripture talks about the body—not just in bits and pieces, but from Genesis to Revelation. This isn’t your typical body talk. It’s about rediscovering what it means to live as a whole person, made in the image of a God who doesn’t make mistakes. We talk about curves, scars, stretch marks, and faith. We get into identity, healing, and how every wrinkle can tell a story of God's faithfulness. This episode is an invitation to live well, not just spiritually—but physically, emotionally, and fully present.

  • The Awtrey Update We Needed to Do | Part 2

    The Awtrey Update We Needed to Do | Part 2
    Jun 18 2025
    In this vulnerable second half, Rachel and Thomas open up about a season of unknowns, starting with mysterious health issues and ending in the emergency discovery of an ectopic pregnancy. They walk through the confusion, heartbreak, surgery, and the grief that followed—along with the beauty that showed up in community, faith, and even an ambulance ride. This one’s for anyone who’s walked through pain and wondered where God was in it. It’s raw, hope-filled, and a reminder that even when life feels heavy, joy still has a seat at the table.
