* NOTE: not a livestream! This is a pre-recorded conversation because Brittny and I will actually both be in New York City at the same time meeting IN PERSON for a women’s ministry banquet event :)
Join me and my sister Brittany Dawn in this important conversation discussing the current epidemic of eating disroders and fitness idolatry permeating our culture by and large, especially targeting young women!
Brittany will be sharing her testimony of how she was a fitness influencer who came to the end of herself before she was radically saved by Jesus and turned her life around. Her story is one of God's amazing grace!
We share a common past insomuch of eating disorders and fitness idolatry, both of which the Lord has totally delivered us from! This is something that plagues Christian and non-Christian women alike, so our prayer for this convo is that women would be set free from the same bondage we were once held captive to as we encourage the biblical truth that our identity is in Christ alone!

I didn't grow up religious at all so as an outsider I have a lot of negative views about it. But I'm in recovery from addiction and have been in and out of AA for many years. I could not understand the idea of a higher power because everything we are taught in New Age is the idea that YOU have the power to change yourself. But I kept relapsing and was in treatment and eventually I had to surrender and give it all to God. So much of this conversation I can relate to in my specific struggles.

As a millennial as well, this speaks to me. This was the pressure we were under. I can remember in high school calling ourselves fat with our friends, even though looking back we weren’t at all. We were suffering from the media and what we saw in our most impressionable years.

Yes, I mean I'm a bit older and we went through it big time in the 90s due to 'heroin chic', Kate Moss etc. The last few years have been an improvement in the demands placed on women in terms of restricting calories, but now the pendulum seems to be swinging back again :(

Angela, I just have to say- when you started talking about your eating disorder it hit me so hard. That’s exactly what I went through. A binge and restrict. I lost 115lbs 3 years ago and was OBSESSED with myself. But hating myself at the same time. Today I’ve gained all that weight back- but I just found the Lord a few months ago. I’m working alongside him to overcome this disorder. Thank you so much both of you for sharing. Your testimonies truly do help others. Keep sharing🤍

Amen! I love how you said apart from Christ you can’t heal from this. I was bound by anorexia, exercise bulimia and bulimia for 10 years. I went to 2 eating disorder rehab facilities and still couldn’t overcome. I couldn’t go an hour let alone a day without being quenched by the fear of weight gain. It wasn’t until Jesus delivered me. In that moment, He fully set me free. I haven’t had even one thought of ed oppression since. I also didn’t have a period for almost ten years and thought I ruined my body, but I’ve had 4 healthy pregnancies. If you are struggling, Jesus can truly set you free. Fully free. ❤️🙌🏻

It’s discouraging to hear “but if you need to lose weight, you should still use those methods.” Most people that are overweight have actually been so self controlled but only for a time until the binge comes after restricting. I’m having to completely surrender all and take it day by day with the Holy Spirit and trust that Jesus is my health bc for me, in some senses I put my life on hold bc of this one issue. I know it takes a lot of renewing of our mind and he is showing me that it’s vanity to think that I can’t go out and play sports bc I’m overweight, or date , etc etc. but it’s been sooo hard bc it’s been years of surrendering this and not being successful with weight loss. It’s all consuming. But I know I will overcome and that he’s doing a deep work in me and I can walk in fullness of life because of Jesus! I would just love to hear of a spirit filled believer that lost weight with Jesus bc all the eating disorder content I see is from people who are a healthy weight! It’s really hard to lose weight free from an eating disorder. Just wanted to give perspective 💕

Why are you not looking at the screen when talking to Brittany, it appears odd or a little rude, I'm sure you don't mean anything by it, but from where I'm sitting it's not a good look, love the conversation though. I am a middle aged, over weight woman of colour living in the UK. When I go into the gym, I do get the stares, but I don't care, I'm trying to help myself by building strength and endurance for me, as I am feeling older than I look and it's not funny. Love the Christ centred conversation, and how the Holy Spirit speaks to you while you're working out and how you're able to observe the selfie obsessed ones knowing that its a demonic influence that's consuming them and their strive for perfection. I buried my niece two years ago, following a failed BBL that she didn't need, but she was selfie obsessed and was determined to get that perfect body, till it eventually took her life. She was 28 years old and beautiful. Please warn the masses of this demonic influence that is really real, thank you.

I think the screen that Angela looks at is below the camera. It’s the screen that probably has the other persons livestream as well as her notes, comment section, etc. So in order to look at Brittany she can’t look directly at the camera.
