Today Heather is back with speaker, author, and coach, Laura Acuna to talk about the role spiritual maturity plays in healing body image issues. Laura and Heather talk about how hard and necessary it is to separate the lies we hear from the truth of scripture. They talk about how scary it can feel to trust God with our bodies and how it's okay to tell the Lord when we feel afraid to let go.

Laura also talks about "little girl thinking" on how recognizing how much little girl thinking she had has helped her mature and find real freedom in Christ. She also talks about how important it is for us to know we are "okay" and how we can only, really, find that kind of "shalom" (peace in the midst of chaos) when we are seeking Christ alone for our "okayness."

You'll be encouraged and challenged from this engaging conversation.
