1 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Life Audio. Hey, they're head their creakmaar. I'm glad you're 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: listening to the Compared to You podcasts Today, Today we 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: are going to begin to answer a question that we're 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: going to tackle really through the whole season of LINT. Yes, 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: today's Fat Tuesday, as it's called tomorrow ash Wednesday, the 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: official first day of LINT, which goes all the way 7 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: to Easter, and we're launching something new called Waiting for 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: Weight Loss. Now, if some of you are panicked that 9 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: Compared to Who is going a different way, please please 10 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: don't be. I'll explain more later. But this is a 11 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: concept I've been thinking about for a long time. I mean, 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: I've been on my body, image and food journey for 13 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: more than a decade now. But I've been trying to 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: think about what I would have responded to before I 15 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: was free and candidly answers. I would have responded to 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: anything that promised me my genes would fit better, anything 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: that promised me actual weight loss. Oh, there's lots of 18 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: those promises out there, aren't there. And while I can't 19 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: promise that this series is actually going to help you 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: with that, I can promise that it will help your 21 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: heart especially if you are always on a quest to 22 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: get those genes to fit a little better, or to 23 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: fit into smaller genes, or to alter your body in 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: some way. Yes, it doesn't just have to be about 25 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: weight loss. It could be about looking younger, it could 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: be about weight gain, it could be about changing your 27 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: body in any way that you've obsessed over for days 28 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: or decades. But Waiting for Weight Loss is something new 29 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: we're launching through this Lenton season to reorient your heart 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: towards what's really important without dismissing these other goals you have. 31 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: I can't wait to tell you more about it in 32 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: today's episode. Hey, I'm glad you're here. Okay, So we 33 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: are launching a Lenton series called Waiting for Weight Loss 34 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: brass Tax. Here's how it's gonna look. You're getting your 35 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: Tuesday episode today, but you'll also get an episode tomorrow, 36 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: and then again on Friday, and then through the six 37 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: weeks of Lent, you'll get an episode Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. 38 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: Each week. It'll be twenty short episodes to take you 39 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: through with the forty days of the Lenten season. Now, 40 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: perhaps Lent is something that you're used to celebrating perhaps 41 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: you're like, I don't do lent, I don't really get lent. 42 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what lent's for. Either way, that's okay. 43 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: If you're not quote unquote doing lent, just consider this 44 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: a different kind of forty day journey to prepare your 45 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: heart before Easter. But here's why we chose this season 46 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: to launch this new thing. And I can't wait to 47 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: tell you about all the different parts of this thing. 48 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: But during this season where we're called to stop and 49 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: evaluate what our hearts love most, what or who are 50 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: we really living for? And it's the season, the Lenten 51 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: season can propel us to examine, Okay, what's really driving 52 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: my life, what is my top priority, what is consuming 53 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: my money, my time, my thoughts. And so we're going 54 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: to give you twenty days of podcast episodes for some support, 55 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: some encouragement. It's going to take us those twenty days 56 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: to talk through what to do if you're waiting for 57 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: weight loss, and that's what it'll be. Twenty different strategies. 58 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: If you find yourself waiting for body change, here's what 59 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: you do. They're gonna be short, they're gonna be practical. 60 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a prayer each day, so you can 61 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: listen to this short episode and pray it along with us, 62 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: and we really pray that you come out encouraged and 63 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: perhaps even challenged around how your goals have gone, what 64 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: health goals have looked like for you. But we're not 65 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: just giving you podcast episodes. Nope, we're doing something different. 66 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: We are setting this up as a community. Now. We've 67 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: never done this before. We did try to have a 68 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: Facebook group, oh but Facebook never showed our posts to 69 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: enough people. You know, we had a little little group 70 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: of people who would respond, but not close to the 71 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: number we had signed up for the group. And we 72 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: also realize it's really difficult to speak about private things 73 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: on a public forum like Facebook. And I know more 74 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: and more of you are moving away from social media, 75 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: or at least trying to cut back on your social 76 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: media usage. So asking you to engage in Facebook more 77 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: to be part of this community just didn't seem right. 78 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: So we're setting up a private community and all you 79 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: have to do to sign up for it is type 80 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: waiting for weight Loss into Google and you can actually 81 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: just type it into your browser waiting forweightloss dot com 82 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: and it'll take you to a forum and right at 83 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: the top of the form and just drop your email 84 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: address in and you will be able to join our 85 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: private community. You'll be able to put an app on 86 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: your phone, you can check your private community messages on 87 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: and we'll be able to encourage each other. We'll be 88 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: able to talk about the content of each day. We'll 89 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: be sharing in that forum other podcast episodes, like especially 90 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: if you're newer to the show and you maybe haven't 91 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: listened to all five hundred podcast episodes, We'll be sharing 92 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: other episodes that go along with some of the topics 93 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: we'll be covering. And our biggest hope is that this 94 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: will be a safe place for women like you who 95 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: want to pursue wholehearted health and by wholehearted health I 96 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: mean body, soul, and spirit while keeping Jesus not weight 97 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: loss as our primary hope. So here's what we're committed 98 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: to in this community. We're not here for shallow pep talks. 99 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: We're not here for shallow comfort. We're not here for 100 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: out of contact scriptures telling you that weight loss is 101 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: related to doing all things through Christ, or that temptation 102 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: is a sin that's about eating brownies. Okay, I'm sorry 103 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: if these verses have been used to shame you in 104 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: the past for your weight loss efforts. Friend, the Bible's 105 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: not a diet manual. And you may be triggered hearing 106 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: me even say the word weight loss because you've been 107 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: listening to the show for so long. Perhaps even you're confused, 108 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: like why is Heather talking about weight loss or trying 109 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: to wait for weight loss? And here's what I want 110 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: to acknowledge. I think as part of my own journey, 111 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: I perhaps may have been confusing around this topic. You see, 112 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: for me, I started with really God showing me interrupting 113 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: life as usual around my body image issues, showing me 114 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: the idol I had made my body image issues and 115 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: really finding new freedom in the area of body image. 116 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: But God hadn't touched my food yet. In fact, I 117 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: didn't even know that I had an eating disorder. And 118 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: so that was another few years after I got touched 119 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: my body image where he started to work with my food, 120 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: and I I think as part of recovery from my 121 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: eating disorder and perhaps even just a revolt or a 122 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: let's call it a pendulum swing that sounds nicer than 123 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: revolt from worrying about my food all the time, restricting 124 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: my food all the time, my thoughts being consumed with 125 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: food all the time, I had to swing all the 126 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: way over to no, I can't do any of it, 127 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: reject it all. But now that I've been on this 128 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: journey for a few more years, I'm beginning to recognize 129 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: that there are some legitimate concerns around how do we eat? 130 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: How do we take care of our bodies? What is 131 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: the best way to eat? To take care of my body? 132 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: And again, that's not what we're trying to answer here. 133 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: There are zillions of options for you out there on that, 134 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: which I think makes it a really frustrating and confusing pursuit. 135 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: But I just want to acknowledge that the pursuit in 136 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: and of itself isn't bad. The problem is, or, more accurately, 137 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: the sin is when I make that quest for health, 138 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: or for thinness, or for a better body, when I 139 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: make that the purpose of my life. When I make 140 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: that an idle, When I make that something I live 141 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: for instead of Jesus, When instead of loving God and 142 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: others well, I am most concerned about staying on my 143 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: plan and getting to the gym and meeting my hashtag 144 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: body goals. That's when it becomes a problem. But we 145 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: don't have to throw the baby out with the bath 146 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: water yet. Please hear me. There may be a season 147 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: in your journey where you kind to do, where the 148 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: pendulum hask to swing for you all the way to Nope, 149 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: never going to pursue weight loss again, never gonna think 150 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: about weight loss again. I want nothing to do with that. 151 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: That feels really uncomfortable to me. And that might just 152 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: have to happen for you. But then you might come 153 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: to a different season where you're ready to think about 154 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: it again in a more God honoring way. And that's 155 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: what we want to do here. We want him to 156 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: be honored in every topic we address over these next 157 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: forty days. We're going to talk about how to keep 158 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: your good goals grounded. We're going to talk about why 159 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: God even gave us bodies. We're going to talk about 160 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: how can I stop despising my body while I'm pursuing 161 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: my body goals. We're gonna talk about what to diff 162 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: you feel like if you ruined your body. We're going 163 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: to talk about discipline as a servant and not a savior. 164 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about your identity. It's beloved, it's 165 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,599 Speaker 1: not before and after truth, thriving is always going to 166 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: come from loving Jesus more than the promises of this world. 167 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: But it's a battle, isn't it, Because everywhere we see 168 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: is the promise of this world. You can get thin 169 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: and have it all if you just lose weight. Sunshine, rainbows, unicorns, 170 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: fantastic things are going to happen for you. It's all 171 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: about weight loss. You'll solve all your health problems if 172 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: you just drop the weight. And while there's a grain 173 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: of truth in some of that, for sure, it's just 174 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: not that simple and it's a lie. It's an idol 175 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: that many of us have chased for years or decades. 176 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: And my heart in this Lenten journey is for us 177 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: to just write order this desire. Did you hear me. 178 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's bad to have the desire. We 179 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: just need to have the desire rightly ordered. And so 180 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: that's what we'll be talking about in the community. Again. 181 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: It's a safe place, so you can come and be 182 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: as blunt as you like, tell us exactly what you've paddled, 183 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: and we're there for you. In fact, I've got my 184 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: whole team committed to being a part of this community. 185 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: Responding to you with hope and encouragement and resources. We're 186 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: not going to just leave you airing your concerns in 187 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: an echo chamber. We want to walk with you for 188 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: the next forty days. So here's my ask. Go to 189 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: Waiting for weight loss dot com, join the community, and 190 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: let's start a conversation. Let's start talking about why we've 191 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: been so deceived into believing that body change was the 192 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: best thing we could do for ourselves. Let's talk about 193 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: what scripture really says about what size we should be. 194 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: There's a lot of fantastic topics we're gonna be covering, 195 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: and I hope you'll also tune in to these twenty 196 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: podcast episodes over the next six weeks. And then, finally, 197 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: would you consider inviting a friend to do this with you? 198 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean, so many times we do the forty day journey, 199 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: and I love the forty day journey, and it was 200 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: almost hesitant to do this because I felt like, oh, 201 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: is it gonna be confusing that the forty day journey 202 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: is different than this Lenten forty day journey. So hopefully 203 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: you're not completely confused. But in the forty day Journey, 204 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: we go through my forty day body image workbook, which 205 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: is available on Amazon and you might be a great 206 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: addition to your forty day Waiting for Weight Loss journey. 207 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: You can grab the book really anywhere books are sold, 208 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: and you can go through it over the course of 209 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: forty days by yourself, or you can go through it 210 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: with our group on Zoom. It's called the forty Day Journey, 211 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: and our coaches and team members participate in that as well. 212 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: But in the forty day Journey, what we hear over 213 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: and over again, especially towards the end of the journey, 214 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: is I don't want to leave because I don't have 215 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: any friends in real life that get this, or that 216 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: think like this, or that even understand this. And that's 217 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: why I'm being really intentional with this Waiting for Weight 218 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: Loss project and community to make my language user friendly. 219 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the right term, but I 220 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: promise not to scare off your friends. I might still 221 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: be on a diet that might still be tracking every 222 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: macro in every minute of exercise. In fact, maybe that's 223 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: where you're at too. But if you really want in 224 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: real life friends who can understand or at least begin 225 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: to understand some of the nuances of the body image, 226 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: struggle and maybe what scripture says about it and maybe 227 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: a different way to think about freedom. This is your 228 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:23,359 Speaker 1: chance invite them to listen with you, have text conversations 229 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: with them privately, and then come to the community and say, 230 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: here's my question. I don't get this, but this is 231 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: your opportunity to invite women in to perhaps the ways 232 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: you've been struggling by yourself. This is your chance to 233 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: maybe create your own community around supporting these issues from 234 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: a biblical standpoint. So that's my encouragement and invitation to you. 235 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: Invite them to start listening tomorrow, day one of the 236 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: day Lenten journey Waiting for Weight Loss, and then join 237 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: that community at Waiting for Weight Loss dot com.
