In this episode of Grit for Glory we talk about our recent break from the podcast and what led up to that, as well as, where God is leading us as we move forward. We're excited to be back and hope this conversation encourages you if you're in a season of burnout, disappointment, or confusion.

When God created man in His image, He declared them good. Yet, many of us struggle to see any good in our bodies and trade the truth of what God says about us for the lies sold to us by culture and media. This is a spiritual issue friends, and in this episode of Grit for Glory Amanda and Cara share their personal experiences with body image issues and dig deep into the roots of body shame. Join them as they explore scripture and discuss simple steps that can help you experience freedom in your body.
