@jasonkovacs Affirm it but function as neoGnostics elevating soul over body. Whether conscious or not it’s a failure to connect spirituality & physicality. This a disembodied view of counselee by “soul care experts” falls short on suffering & tons of counseling issues that pertain to the body

@jasonkovacs Yep. A major seminary professor on a couple of occasions in fact

Protestants have a lot to learn from Catholics about the theology of the body.

Carl Trueman explains on latest episode of Know What You Believe.

[Lainey Greer @LaineyGreer]

@solamediaorg That’s exactly why I focused my PhD work at SBTS on a Theology of the Body, why I founded Your Body Matters, and why I wrote Embodied Holiness: The Biblical Call to Bodily Care with B&H Academic. I recognized this disparity years ago & have tons of resources to help Protestants.

I used to ignore physical symptoms of ministry burnout.

The shame from failed New Year’s Resolutions often fuels negative body image, but Scripture calls believers to glorify God in their bodies, not criticize them. By replacing anxiety, comparison, and condemnation with gratitude, truth, and worship, we can honor God by changing how we think about the bodies He designed, indwells, and redeems.

AW Pink w/ wise words on the body
"That monkish hatred of the body which figures so prominently in the works of certain early devotional writers is wholly w/o support in the Bible. The New Testament accepts as a matter of course that in His incarnation our Lord took upon 1/4

[Lainey Greer @LaineyGreer]

something innately offensive to the Deity. God created our bodies & we do not offend Him by placing the responsibility where it belongs. He is not ashamed of the work of His own hands."
Neither, then, should Christians be ashamed of or misinformed ab our bodies & yet we too 3/4

[Lainey Greer @LaineyGreer]

An essential point from @albertmohler which is why I focused my PhD work at SBTS on defining a theology of the body AND connecting it to the ways we think about & treat our bodies, a connection that is also essential yet Christians still miss it.

"There is simply no way that Christians can come to a biblical understanding that says that who people are is separate from the body that God gave them."

New blog to promote my latest minibook, A Teens Guide to Eating Disorders: Hope for Your Struggle. Check it out!

[New Growth Press @newgrowthpress]

Teens face multiple factors that could lead to an eating disorder—friends and family, social media and television, genetics and puberty—so it’s critical to equip them with a biblical view of the body and how it connects to their daily lives. @LaineyGreer
