What if the problem with body image isn’t your body… but the mirror you’re using?
In this episode, Pastor Jeff tackles one of the loudest lies our culture keeps shouting: “My body is a mistake.” From social media filters to shame that runs all the way back to Genesis 3, we unpack why so many of us feel at war with our own skin—and why Scripture tells a radically different story.
We explore three common myths:
My body is a mistake
My body isn’t really me
My body won’t be pleasing to others
Then we zoom out to the gospel and land somewhere freeing:
Jesus didn’t save us from bodies. He saved us through one.
This message connects Psalm 139, Genesis, Romans, and the broken-yet-glorious body of Christ to show how redemption is not just spiritual, it’s physical. Shame didn’t break your body; it broke the mirror. And the good news? Jesus restores both.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, exhausted by comparison, or tempted to hide, this one’s for you. Healing grows where we’re known. You don’t have to carry this alone.
From story to presence to obedience: this is the Life YTH PDX podcast.
