CW: This episode contains conversation about disordered eating, body shame, and bullying. Please listen with care and be well, friends.
Our culture and the church have both contributed to unhealthy, disordered ways of thinking about our bodies and the love we should show them. Some of us grew up thinking we needed to hate our bodies or discipline ourselves to avoid giving into sin. What theologies contribute to the disordered ways we can learn to eat and exist in the beautiful bodies we have?

What is Ravel?
We all grew up in different parts of American Christianity, and we still keep thinking about how to take it seriously, even as we leave some beliefs behind. Join us our round-table discussion as we ravel out our faith in a complex world, pulling on one thread at a time, seeking Meaning at the end of it all.
