A common assumption in the church is, “soul good, body bad.” But on today’s episode, our guest, Professor Nancy Pearcey, flips this idea on its head. Nancy shares perspectives from her book, Love Thy Body, where she addresses beliefs we commonly adopt in the church and identifies how damaging they can be—specifically, beliefs about our bodies and our sexuality. Nancy helps us understand how a high view of our body and sexuality can help us flourish inside God’s plan for our life.
Awesome podcast! I was a bit leary of how this was going to be ‘unpacked’ and defined, but Prof. Pearcey really explained it well. I love that there can be so many good ways to reveal spiritual truth to a hungry world, from the Bible, the brain, the body, or – best of all – a mixture of all three. John’s gospel of repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand is primarily about confronting sin, but it’s also about becoming who God had in mind when He said Adam and Eve were very good. Its not just about total depravity, but also renewal. Thanks for reminding me of that.
