What do you see when you look in the mirror, and what story have you been telling yourself about your body? Continuing the Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle steps into one of the most personal conversations she has ever had on the show, drawing from her own experience with disordered eating to offer a spiritual perspective on what it means to pursue genuine freedom in the body. Speaking not as a clinician but as a Bible teacher, Lisa identifies two specific ways we stay stuck, and the one question from John 5 that cuts to the heart of it all.

Please note: this episode contains a trigger warning for eating disorder content, including specific discussion of behaviors. It is not recommended for young or developing children.

Listen in to learn more:

A song called "Skinny," and why it stopped Lisa in her tracks
What disordered eating actually is and why so many are quietly living with the lie of it
Breaking up with the lie of disordered eating
Breaking up with exchanging one unhealthy habit for another
John 5 and the life-changing question Jesus asks
Why freedom starts with telling the full truth to yourself and to someone else
A word for anyone who feels too far gone
