Our Bodies are Good
We're taught that our bodies are bad, temporary and accessory to our spirituality. But according to the Scriptures, our bodies are good gifts from God, essential to our personhood and vital to our relationship with God and others.
From Series: "Crave"
We're made in God's image, but we have bodies, while God is spirit. Are our bodies accidental? Are they temporary? Or are they good, vital and essential to our spirituality? How can we resist the cultural narrative that teaches us to hate our bodies?

This is the season of the year when people start to think about monsters – ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night. We normally don’t think of monsters having anything to do with the Church, but we’d be wrong. The reason people tell monster stories is that monsters are a safe way to talk about things we’re not ready to admit about ourselves. We don’t want to see ourselves as selfish, unforgiving, ill-tempered. So we tell stories. We create monsters.
