Taking Body Thoughts Captive: Practical Scripture for Real Freedom

Join Shannon Bream as she welcomes bestselling author and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle to discuss her new Bible study, Body and Soul: A Biblical Look at the Whole Person God Created You to Be. With refreshing transparency and theological depth, Lisa shares how she got tired of “hype body positivity culture” that didn’t address the real struggles women face with their bodies—from yo-yo dieting to trauma and everything in between. She introduces the revolutionary concept of “whole body theology,” which takes readers through the entire Bible to understand our bodies from being made in God’s image to Christ’s incarnation, from our bodies as temples to our future resurrected bodies. Lisa emphasizes that Scripture is meant to bring body peace, not overwhelm, helping believers understand that building a proper theological foundation changes everything about how we make decisions regarding exercise, food, work, and relationships—offering hope for anyone who has ever asked, “Will I ever be free?” from body-related struggles.
