On today's program, a judge sides with Texas megachurch Second Baptist Houston in a lawsuit brought by current and former members. The judge says the constitutional principle of religious freedom shields the church — but the plaintiffs' attorney says that should not be a get-out-of-jail free card.” We'll have details. Plus, last month, the United Methodist Church dropped Asbury Theological Seminary from its list of approved schools due to its stance on biblical marriage — which could put two other seminaries in its cross hairs. We'll take a look. And, a new survey reveals that American's confidence in the church is near or at an all-time low. But first, three church leaders in South Carolina are facing criminal charges after being accused of hiding a registered sex offender’s role around kids. The Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office laid it out at a news conference this week. Sheriff Carter Weaver said his office opened an investigation into Pawleys Island Community Church on July 12th, after officials learned about a man named Warren Perry, and his access to children.

“ The most helpful piece of advice that any adult has ever given me to help me with my body image is that I should really just be confident in myself. Because if you are confident in yourself then you radiate happiness.” (Claire, Montreal, Canada) Beginning in their pre-teen years, many girls contend with body image issues, continuing to struggle throughout their teenage years and well into adulthood, often to the detriment of their emotional well-being, physical health and confidence. This should not surprise us as girls are bombarded from every direction—from boys, media, advertising campaigns, parents, coaches, and even friends--about how every part of their bodies should look and feel. In this episode, we hear from two educators who tackle the topic head on, convinced that the right messaging at the front end of the process of becoming a woman can have a long-term positive effect on a girl's sense of herself in her own body and her ability to accept herself for who she is. Erika Rath, who serves as the Director of Student Services at Sacred Heart School of Montreal in Canada, and Warren Perry, who is the Aquatics Director at Convent of the Sacred Heart in New York City, join host Trudy Hall, former NCGS Board Chair and advocate for girls' schools, for a conversation about how they address body image issues in their conversations with girls in the earliest stages of becoming young women. Parents and adults who are raising girls of all ages should listen in, as getting girls to feel comfortable in their own bodies is critical to their healthy development and this is work that we need to do together, relentlessly, consistently, speaking with one voice.
