Growing up, I believed that skinny was pretty. And that everything else was unattractive. Unworthy. Meant to be criticized. I believed girls and women should diet if they looked a certain way. I can’t remember a time when my family’s women weren’t talking about how to change their appearances.

Girls, it’s time to experience God’s love even more deeply as you begin to love your God-gifted bodies. Now, I walk alongside young women who want to know what God says about their bodies. I write and speak about how the core of our relationship with our Maker is love and that loving our God-gifted bodies is a crucial part of living like we are loved generously by our Father. I’d love to meet you.
