MISSION

Body & Soul

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.

ABOUT

Meet
Lainey

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.

"I’ve not always taken care of myself and have definitely struggled to glorify God in my body. From an eating disorder, to over-exercise, to negative body image, and all kinds of stress-related physical ailments, I’ve learned the hard way and am still growing. The Lord has taught me many lessons over the years that I share now to encourage you."
