NUANCE

Can we love God while hating the bodies He gave us?

In this vulnerable and empowering episode of Compassion International's new series Nuance, Food Network host Aarti Sequeira and physical therapist Keewani Vallejo Cook get real about body image, identity, and what it means to worship God with our whole selves. From disordered eating to fitness culture, aging, and beauty standards, nothing is off the table as they share deeply personal stories and raw reflections on how we see ourselves—and how God sees us.

Together they explore:

  • Is the obsession with health just a new form of idolatry?
  • Can you be spiritually strong but physically unhealthy?
  • How do we model true beauty to the next generation?

Whether you're struggling with your reflection in the mirror or trying to find peace in your changing body, this conversation invites you to let go of shame and step into God's radical affirmation. You are His masterpiece—lines, scars, silver streaks and all.

What is NUANCE?

Nuance is a conversation series unlike any other—where 14 Christian thought leaders, pastors, artists, and influencers come together two at a time for honest, grace-filled dialogue across lines of difference.

Each of the 13 episodes pairs two voices you may not expect to see in the same room, exploring prompt cards that challenge assumptions, surface tensions, and invite vulnerability. They don’t always agree. That’s the point. What emerges is not debate, but a richer kind of unity—one rooted in listening well, honoring each other’s stories, and holding space for complexity without compromising conviction.

These are the conversations we need in a polarized world. With topics that range from race to revival, politics to purity culture, deconstruction to discipleship, Nuance offers a model of courageous curiosity—centered in Christ, grounded in Scripture, and fueled by the Spirit of relational reconciliation that genuinely explores what it means to live Unto Jesus today.

If you're hungry for depth, tired of division, and ready for a better way forward—welcome. This is Nuance.
