THE 3 KEYS to freedom in your health journey, changing how you view your body, the beauty of full surrender, & the hope set before us Jan 24, 2024

Show notes

this is a solo podcast with me, linden, taking you on a passionate deep dive into three keys that have been so transformative for me in this journey of how I relate to my body and steward it and the hope that God has given us in Christ.
These keys are things I wish I would've had deep in my heart in the beginning because I really believe they would've offset a lot of bunny trails into fear, anxiety, hopelessness, and the crushing obsession of trying to control your health when you really just can't.
praying the Lord brings you revelation and freedom through this episode <3
