What comes to mind when you hear “your body is a temple”? For many of us, this verse has been used as a weapon of shame rather than a source of freedom.
In this powerful conversation, Candace and Lisa unpack the truth of 1 Corinthians 6:19, diving into how the Church has often misapplied it, how purity culture distorted it, and why understanding the indwelling of the Holy Spirit changes everything about how we see our bodies.Candace opens up vulnerably about her early years of marriage and the struggle to embrace her body without shame. Together, she and Lisa guide listeners toward a whole-body theology that replaces fear and behavior modification with grace, beauty, and the truth that we are beloved temples of God’s Spirit.This episode also includes real and tender listener questions—about navigating a spouse’s porn addiction, and about breaking cycles of negative self-talk and body hatred.

Where It Goes Sideways- Why Does My Body Feel So Complicated? - Lisa Whittle
In this raw and deeply personal episode of Body & Soul, Candace and Lisa continue their vulnerable journey into how we see and treat our bodies. Lisa shares a moment from childhood that shaped her entire body story—a traumatic exposure to pornography that led to years of compartmentalization and perfectionism. Candace relates through her own early body awareness, acting pressures, and a lifelong internal battle with image and value.
Together, they unpack why our relationships with our bodies go sideways—from treating our bodies like projects or performances, to seeing them as props for approval. They introduce the "trifecta" of body compartmentalization and explain why only a solid foundation can bring lasting freedom. They also respond to a moving listener question about emotional eating and point toward scripture as the root of transformation.
Which of the three body perspectives do you relate to most: project, prop, or object?
Have you ever treated your body like an opponent rather than an ally?
What does renewing your mind with scripture look like for you?
