"Your Body is Not a Project" with Jess Connolly
“Your body is not a project”
with Jess Connolly
Jess Connolly is making waves, but in the best way. For years, the topic of body shame has been largely absent from Christian dialogue. So many people struggle and have struggled with it, and, yet the church has remained largely silent. Thankfully, Jess Connolly is changing that.
Jess is an author, church leader, and coach. She’s also a woman who has experienced decades of shame and pain in her body. She’s been on a journey to break free from body shame using God’s truth and now she is inviting women to join her. As she puts it, she’s obsessed with the freedom that is ours for the taking.
Today’s episode is a little different. For one, we’re going to jump right into my conversation with Jess. Also, our conversation is going to largely focus on her new book, Breaking Free from Body Shame: Dare to Reclaim What God Has Named Good. As we consider letting go of what beauty is not, it is so important to release the lies that have been spoken over our good bodies. So, please settle in and listen in to a conversation that is long overdue. May God meet you in these tender places and may you know that your body is good.

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?
Sign up and follow along on my journey. Let’s re-define beauty. Together.
