Body shame is real. We've all experienced it, but what do we do about it? Earlier in May, Oprah Winfrey hosted a three-hour-long forum with body love experts, actresses, and influencers to start a conversation about bodies, weight, and how we can start changing the narrative. Titled, "Making the Shift" and hosted by WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers), the conversation had several meaningful moments where women from all over the country shared the hurt, shame, and confusion they'd felt about their body image. In today's episode, Heather digs into what happened in the Oprah conversation. She explores how the one piece missing from these eloquent conversations is the key unlocking body shame. If you've been struggling with your body size or shape, and are looking for a fresh answer that's meatier than telling yourself positive affirmations in the mirror, this conversation will be a great encouragement to you.  There are real answers out there for your body image struggles -- and the good news is they don't require Jedi mind tricks or "naked jump roping in front of the mirror" (yes, that was from the Oprah special!!!). Learn more about Heather Creekmore, Compared to Who? and how to improve your body image and find freedom from body shame here: https://www.improvebodyimage.com Want to join Heather and a group of amazing women in reading Heather's new 40-Day Body Image Workbook?

Jess Connolly is an author, podcaster, speaker and coach for women. She is wife to Nick Connolly and together that have four growing kiddos, Elias, Gloriana, Benjamin and Cannon. Jess is a soul on fire with the desire to see women live the abundant life God has set aside for them. Her goal is to see them experiencing the freedom that can only come by receiving the love of Jesus, remaining in His Word and living freely in community. She is able to minister so effectively to the women in her life because this has been her own personal testimony.In this episode Aynsley Younker, friend of The Grove, chats with Jess around the freedom that gets released in our hearts when we start believing what God says about our self image. These friends find a resolve to say, "I'm not powerful enough to rewrite what God has already named." Their practical application of how we can get free from body shame is going to be both helpful and life changing. To hear more from Jess, visit her at www.jessconnolly.com and pick up her newest resource "Breaking Free From Body Shame!" or tune into The Jess Connolly Podcast. The Grove is part of the Passion City Church family here in Atlanta, Georgia.

What if your body was already ready for summer?    What would it feel like to not treat your body as a project that needed to be somehow fixed or made smaller? As we head into the summer, what would it feel like to already feel summer-body ready? On today's episode, we welcome fellow coach and sister in Christ, Jess Connolly, author of “Breaking Free from Body Shame, Dare To Reclaim What God Has Named Good.”   We chat about what happens when we treat our bodies as projects. Constantly meeting some cultural standard of beauty means focusing on our glory instead of God's. It also means missing out on the abundance He has for us in the here and now when we strive to reach a certain weight or size. We talk about how we can make little shifts in our thinking to embrace the good bodies God has already given us.   We also give into the question, can you be free from body shame and also want to focus on your health? Or are the two at odds with each other? And where does rest play into our picture of health?   You can follow Jess Connolly on Instagram @jessaconnolly, @breakingfreefrombodyshame and @goandtellgals and order Breaking Free From Body Shame here.   Thank you for listening! xx Connect with Meade and Christy HERE.  Learn More about Coaching with Christy  Learn More about Coaching with Meade   Connect with us on Instagram! @imnotsoberimfree @lovelifesoberwithchristy   #getconnected #staycurious #changeyourthinkingchangeyourdrinking #sobriety #alcoholfree #soberliving #alcoholfreelife #thisnakedmind  #lovelifesober #imnotsoberimfree #getconnected  #grayareadrinking #grayareadrinking #butjesusdrankwine #staycurious #changeyourthinkingchangeyourdrinking #christianandsober #christianity   The creators, hosts, and producers of the But Jesus Drank Wine podcast are not healthcare practitioners and therefore do not give medical, psychological or professional advice nor do they intend for the podcast, any communication on behalf of BJDW or otherwise to be a substitute for such.

The big question of the hour is: Can I want to be healthy and free at the same time? In this episode Jess Connolly unpacks how freedom and health are not at war with one another. They are deeply intermingled with one another. She says, “you cannot have a kingdom minded pursuit of health without freedom, and we cannot have a kingdom-minded pursuit of freedom without caring about our health” and challenges us to live as freely as possible while also focusing on feeling our best.  Most of us know what our true motivations and rhythms are. When we bring those into the light and expose them to ourselves (and other trusted individuals), we can begin to notice what things tend to cause us to slip into striving for a perfect body rather than caring for our body in a free way. Once we start to notice the healthier motivations rising up in our lives, we can lean into them and allow them to take root. The bottom line is: “Are you trying to make your body good? Or are you treating your body like it's already good?” Why Does The Enemy Fight Us So Hard When It Comes To Body Image? The enemy fights us in our body image because he knows that if you're preoccupied enough with your body, it'll stop you from all the goodness that the Lord wants for your life. Our body is sacred, so if we're consumed with body shame it will affect everything we do. That's why the enemy fights us so hard.  Where Do We Begin To Break Free From Body Shame?  Jess challenges us to experience and express grief over the enemy's attack on our bodies. If we're grieved and angry enough, we'll have the energy to fight it off. And that's important! Otherwise we'll succumb to his devices and that will sabotage our lives in multiple ways.  Jess helps us to understand what body freedom actually is, what it looks like, and how we ever achieve it. She unpacks how freedom fully unfolds in heaven, but being free in our bodies and actually (genuinely) loving our bodies can happen right now. Radical body acceptance is totally possible right here and right now. Similarly, we may still find ourselves having tough body image days, even though we're living a life of freedom at this point in our journey.  We find freedom by getting our minds renewed. Jess recommends having a full, in-depth answer about what God believes and says about your body. Download the Body Freedom Prayer HERE. Then, once we know that, we act free (even if we don't feel free in the moment), and the feeling of freedom will come.

I can't imagine a more perfect way to kick off our second season (huzzah!) than to chat with the intrepid and generous Jess Connolly. Jess is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, church leader, podcaster, team builder, and here's the thing: She is as real a deal as they come. I'm talking unicorn. I loved hearing about her steadfast work, even when her own emotions run wild, her newest book Breaking Free From Body Shame, and her personal battle with anxiety. Have a pen and paper ready—this episode is chock full of good things to take with you on your stretch of road. As Jess tells it, when she was 15, you would have voted her least likely to succeed and definitely least likely to grow up and talk about the Bible. These days she's just obsessed with leaving her generation more in awe of God than she found them. Jesus grabbed her heart, gripped it with grace, and she finds deep purpose + passion in His presence. She spends her days writing books, coaching women, leading their church, and trying to make her kids laugh. Go + Tell Gals is where she coaches + leads women and she and her husband, Nick, have the honor of leading Bright City Church. Find her online at jessconnolly.com and on socials @JessaConnolly.

This week's topic is what everyone has on their mind, especially during summer ------ Their body! How many times do you think about how you feel, or look in an outfit or, when you wake up, or as you are scrolling on social media? I heard from Jess Connelly on the Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast, that "97% of women think about their body image." That means most of us listening to this upcoming conversation, could relate SO MUCH, because it's something that's on almost everyone's mind as we journey through life. Heather Kelly, the guest speaker on the show today tells us of her own journey, as she came up against health scares, obesity, and sugar addiction being a real thing. Heather went from trying to survive through her days and now she is thriving through them! And it doesn't mean she doesn't have days or rough moments but her courage to keep getting back up is undeniable and contagious! She didn't get there by a fad diet, not by a quick fix, not by giving up over a bad day, not by shaming herself into workout plans, but by courageously making small healthy changes each day! She's SO inspiring, SO humble, and SO kind!!! Heather is a mom of 2 wonderful kiddos, wife to a supporting husband, teacher, and now after losing a whopping 94 pounds, a health coach! She wants everyone to have the lifestyle transformation from the inside out like she has had. I can't wait for you all to listen to her authentic, sweet, gracious, and courageous story! But before we do..... I want to challenge you this week to pause and think about how you view yourself today, then challenge that with asking yourself, What does God say about you? Do you view yourself the same? Do you need to open up the Bible and find out for you or click on it in the Bible App as a topic? Second Challenge: I want you to write down 3 or more things this week that you can tell yourself that are positive. Example: Mine would be —- I am worthy. I am capable. I can do hard things when I stay focused. These breath sayings can be turned into prayers or be the words that remind you of truth! Last and Third Challenge: Write down ONE consistent achievable lifestyle change you can make on your own pursuit to a healthier version of you! It can be the food choices you make, exercise activity you chose, or an environmental change to set yourself up for success (like meal planning, decluttering an area of your house that stresses you out, or simply making your bed)! So let's buckle up — grab your cup of coffee — get on your walk or run or wherever you are and BE ENCOURAGED! Jackie Resources: - Learn more about "Heather Kelly" by following her on FACEBOOK.

Welcome back to The AUSA Podcast! Today, we're kicking off another series. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, so we'll just say that this one is sort of about life as a college student. For this first episode, Luke and Brenna sit down with one of our CATs, Lindsey Gatlin, to chat about Rest—what it is, what it isn't, why it's important, and how we can practice it! So often we can get bogged down in the busyness of life as a student that we forget to take time to just be still and silent, to recharge, and we become burnt out, irritable, and scattered. Join us as we talk about Rest and share some ways that we practice Sabbath week-to-week. As always, we end out the episode by giving an overview of all of this week's events! Tonight we have Murder Mystery! Check out AUnited and Instagram to see if we've got any open spots, and come on out for some fun! On Tuesday night we have Jess Connolly coming to campus to talk with us about her book “Breaking Free From Body Shame,” so go ahead and RSVP on AUnited. On Wednesday morning we have another fun event with Jess, so stay tuned for info on that. Friday night, we've got Trunk or Treat! Drop by for some candy from Clubs & Orgs and see your very own Campus Activities Team. Finally, on Saturday, we have our Halloween Movie Night! We'll be watching Halloweentown! We're really excited for this week and we hope you are too! See you there! To keep up with all things AU Student Activities, visit our Instagram, @au411! To get text reminders and updates about events, text AU411 to 54855! We promise—no spam, only fun. For more information about events and to RSVP, head over to AUnited!

It's time to rise above cultural ideals about a woman's worth, reclaim what God has called good, and transform the way you see your body forever. Jess shares why self-image is not a superficial issue, but a spiritual issue and unpacks why body shame is so prevalent in our culture. Discover steps you can take on your own journey towards freedom as you replace the lies you've been believing with what God says is true about your body.

What would your life look like if you dared to reclaim what God has named good? My friend Jess Connolly is challenging us to consider that we're made for more than having a love/hate relationship with our bodies. According to a study at Glamour magazine, 97% of women struggle with body image issues. It is an effective and intentional tool that convinces us that taking care of our bodies is not a spiritual issue.  Jess returns to the show today for a super fun, honest and essential conversation  about her new book Breaking Free from Body Shame: Dare to Reclaim What God Has Named Good. We also talk about the role social media plays and how to break free from the beliefs that hold us back from living our fullest lives. She is an author, entrepreneur, and is the founder of Go + Tell Gals and helped start She Reads Truth. She and her husband planted Bright City Church in Charleston, South Carolina, where they live with their four children. Listen in to hear Jess tell us: Her story of body image struggles and how she unfolded the truth that these struggles were a spiritual issue.  How she learned to be grateful when experiencing weakness because it is just a canvas for God's goodness and compassion to shine.  Practical tips on how we can learn to love our bodies more. Favorite quotes: 1. It seems like such an intentional and effective tool of the enemy to convince women that this is not a spiritual thing. 2. I think one of the best ways we can fight this is genuinely just showing up in our actual bodies and letting people say, “this is what it is, this is reality, and I'm okay with that.” 3. Whatever it is, if it's Botox, if it's doing a 40 day fitness challenge, if it's being a person who does CrossFit, if it's running, if it's walking, if it's doing Pilates, if it's getting your hair done, if it's getting facials, if it's drinking green smoothie... the goal is simply that you do it because it's worshipful for you. Not because you feel pressured or shamed into doing it. 4. This is my body to steward. Nobody gets to speak about it. Nobody gets to be harmful toward it. Nobody gets to try to speak untruth, or negative things over it. Great things we discussed:  1. Jess Connolly2. Breaking Free From Body Shame 3. Exile 4. Gilmore Girls 5. When We Stand6.

Jess Connolly {@JessaConnolly} is on for all 4 things today to talk about her latest book: Breaking Free From Body Shame {Dare To Reclaim What God Has Named Good} FIRST THING: What have you been told about your body that isn’t true?? Well, society told Jess that because she’s short and curvy that high-waisted jeans were a no-no for her body type. She shares with us an “aha moment” regarding this and she then details how she detoxes her mind to combat what society has told us for years & years. She also has some great mantras that do the same! SECOND THING: Jess shares with Amy what it means to be in a “brave space” - an invitation to be who you are, where you’re at, while being offered a challenge and room to grow!!! THIRD THING: “You were made for more than a love/hate relationship with your body” and your body is NOT a project. Jess helps us look out for those life moments that open the door for us treating our bodies like a project and how we can best put a stop to that. FOURTH THING: Jess shares 4 things that she is grateful for. Link to purchase Breaking Free From Body Shame here! Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
