Carla Arges joins me on the podcast to remind us of the implications of being created in God’s image. She shares her story of struggle with body image and diet culture, and how her experiences led her to seek the truths of the Bible as it relates to our identity in Christ. She gives straight-forward and practical advice from the lessons she learned and her reliance on the Lord and willingness to seek Him is so evident.  I pray our conversation leads you to worship the Lord for his yoke is easy and his burden is light- that you were fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of the one true God.
