Being Open With My Body Image Struggle
I haven’t always been open with my body image struggle. I remember just over two years ago when I was debating sharing or not. My husband and I had just gotten involved with our new church and a new small group. We had completed a few “get to know you weeks” in our...
Hope for Exercise Bulimia: Allison’s Story
This is Allison's story of exercise builimia. I met Allison at a north Texas MOPS group last month. She was gracious enough to message me after the meeting and share with me her story. I wanted you all to read it and be encouraged too. There is hope. Great hope. It's...

Body Theology 101 – Your Body is Not a Container
Hello Friend, I’m just going to come right out with it. My lifelong understanding of what the human body is, what my body is, has been dangerously contrary to the teaching of the Bible. Yep. I’m 36 and although I’ve been a Christian since I was 12, I’ve held to false...
I Have an Eating Disorder
Today's post is written by a friend--a very courageous friend who thought it best that her name be left off of this vulnerable confession. Like the author, I too struggled with an eating disorder when I was in my teens and twenties, yet I didn't have anorexia or...
