You and I are embodied human beings created in the image of God. Embodiment is the natural state of humanity involving both your immaterial soul and material body, which makes them equally important. But Christians have often misunderstood embodiment, elevating the soul while neglecting and even devaluing the body. I’m here to counter this misconception. In the midst of a culture confused about embodied reality, Christians cannot afford to be anti-body. That’s why treating the body well – in a way that honors God – truly begins with thinking well of the body.
Hi I’m Lainey Greer, and I am a follower of Jesus Christ. Everything I do on this site revolves around the body. From a theology of the body to embodiment, body image, stewarding your health, or ministry burnout, I believe Christians should first think biblically about the body. Then, they should live out those beliefs. My experiences with nutrition, personal training, ministry, and seminary led me towards a clearer understanding of valuing the body through my Christian faith. My hope is that my work will motivate you to glorify God in your body.
