Many Christian women have been exposed to a more legalistic view that caring about their bodies or health is prideful or worldly. But when we look at what Jesus actually said, we see something very different. Jesus tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves \u2014 which means caring for your body and your health was never meant to be selfish. In this episode of the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, I\u2019m sharing what Scripture really teaches about caring for your body and why stewarding your health can actually be an act of honoring God. In this episode, you'll learn: \u2022 Why many Christian women believe taking care of themselves is selfish \u2022 How constantly serving everyone else can lead to exhaustion and neglecting your health \u2022 What Jesus meant when He said to love your neighbor as yourself \u2022 Why caring for your body is biblical stewardship, not vanity \u2022 How shifting your mindset about your body can transform your relationship with food, fitness, and discipline This episode will help you stop seeing health as something selfish and start seeing it as an act of gratitude for the life God has given you.
