What is the world’s definition of beauty? How often have we squeezed, strived, and starved ourselves in order to meet its impossible standards, only to feel we’re never enough? Today’s podcast is Part 1 of a two-part series on Dreaming with God, where Stasi shares God's invitation to see ourselves through His eyes—to trade striving for rest, shame for grace, and the enemy’s lies for God’s Truth. God not only calls us beautiful (SoS
1:15), but He also invites us to walk in union with Him, partnering with Him in the joy of becoming who He has created us to be and offering what He has uniquely planted in our hearts.
