Episode 31: Your Body is a Temple? A Pastor Weighs In

Pastor Siri talks about both the beauty and problems of this statement. For some people this statement seems to demand perfection and create shame around how your eat, etc. It has also been in purity culture to control women's bodies, and people with disabilities and chronic pain can feel alienated by such statements.
However, if we take this truly seriously, it opens up a different way of us relating to each other as well as our bodies. With respect and intentionality, we can honor one another and adorn our temples with joy and gladness.
