"Beauty Culture and the Church" with Jo Saxton
"Beauty Culture and the Church"
with Jo Saxton
Jo Saxton is an author, speaker, International Justice Mission Ambassador, podcast host, leadership coach, and a fellow Minnesotan. Jo invests in women leaders in a number of ways, including an initiative called the Ezer Collective, an event held to invest in and catalyze attendees’ leadership. Jo is especially passionate about helping women realize and live into their God-given identity.
In today’s conversation, Jo talks about her own struggles with beauty growing up and the impact of not seeing women who looked like her in media. She also names that the influence of beauty culture is a gentle seduction in the world and in the church. Jo also reminds and challenges us in the church to offer a counter cultural narrative for beauty, turning away from the objectification of women. And with powerful conviction, Jo inspires us to engage our true identity and purpose, as that is what produces true beauty in the world.
Do you have influence in the lives of others? If so, then you are leader. This conversation reminded me of the incredible, often unrealized impact, we each have in our own spheres of influence. I get excited thinking of how each of you listening will use your influence to bring about true beauty in your corner of the world.
the interview
Are you tired of being sold a broken brand of beauty?
The brand of beauty we are so often sold is way too small. It divides and dis-integrates us. I am on a mission to expand and re-discover beauty, authentic beauty. I believe beauty is the life of God at work in us and among us. Will you join me in exploring that kind of beauty?
