    S4E5 Body Image: A Journey to Freedom with Amanda Jane Cooper

    This is an episode about finding healing in Christ. Today on the podcast Laura Leigh sits down with her friend and fellow Broadway performer, Amanda Jane Cooper.  You may know Amanda from the Broadway and National Tour of Wicked where she played the role of Glinda. In this episode, Amanda shares her testimony of coming to know and love Jesus, and the eternal hope she has found in surrendering her life to Him. They dive into her journey walking through deep struggles and suffering, and the power of Christ in bringing her into freedom.  Laura Leigh and Amanda spend time talking about their mutual struggle with body image, and how God has been faithful to bring them from the dark and into His light. Amanda shares more of what her journey to healing has looked like and the role of God’s Word and the Holy Spirit in reclaiming what God has called good. We are praying this conversation is helpful in knowing that you are not alone.  We also hope that it is  encouraging as Amanda shares her journey to freedom in the name of Jesus and how God rescued her from a way of life that she thought she might have to just manage forever. // In producing this episode there were prayerful steps taken in an effort to go above reproach with handling this topic of conversation respectfully and tenderly.  Do know that we get into some vulnerable details in sharing our stories of freedom from destructive patterns related to body image.
