179. Is It A Sin To Be Overweight?

17:17 Podcast

With obesity at an all-time high, is it something that is actually a sin issue? What role does our physical well-being play in godliness?
In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through obesity and whether or not it is a sin issue. We talk through this nuanced topic and provide some Scripture that targets some of the root causes of being overweight and help decipher what is and what isn't a sin when it comes to obesity. We hope that this episode will make you stop and think about your own journey with weight loss/gain and view it through the lens of Scripture!
