What does Scripture really say about your body?
IT’S TIME TO DEVELOP A WHOLE BODY THEOLOGY
LISA WHITTLE’S LATEST RELEASE
Body & Soul
A Biblical Look at the Whole Person God Created You to Be
Every day we’re bombarded with messages about our bodies: Fix this, change that. But what if we stopped seeing our bodies as projects to perfect, and instead understood and embraced them as God’s incredible design?
In Body and Soul, Lisa Whittle helps you discover how your body reflects the image of God and how your whole self— heart, mind, and body— matters deeply to Him.
In this 6-Session Bible Study…
Discover what Scripture teaches about your body, from creation to Revelation.
Uncover the truth and explore how every curve, scar, wrinkle, and physical limitation of your body is a testament to how God is shaping you.
Learn to reconcile your body with the rest of who you are - developing a “whole body theology.”
Grow in a deeper understanding of your true identity and function as a whole person created in the image of God!

Who is this study for?
-
Bible Study & Women’s Ministry Leaders
If you lead a small group or women’s ministry – you need to be talking about whole-body theology. We need to be talking about this in faith-based settings. This study is designed to equip you with biblical insights and practical tools to guide women through understanding their bodies as part of God's marvelous creation. It’s a perfect resource for fostering meaningful, scripture-centered conversations that help women embrace their whole selves in Christ. If you’re unsure where to start, watch the video below. It takes out all the guesswork!
-
Moms & Leaders of Young Women
If you have a daughter, niece, or young woman in your life—whether a teen or a young adult—this study provides guidance on how to speak truth about body image and identity from Scripture. It’s a way to mentor and influence the next generation, helping them develop confidence rooted in biblical truth rather than societal standards. Your example and conversations can shape her view of herself for years to come, so if you’re a Youth Group leader, mentor, or mom – I recorded this message just for you. (Plus, my college daughter, Shae, hops on at the end. You’ll love her perspective!)
-
Mental Health & Physical Fitness Professionals
If you’re a faith-based professional who is already encouraging others to pursue physical and mental health & wellness – this study is truly transformational. Body & Soul can deepen the work you’re already doing with clients and followers by anchoring physical well-being in Scripture. It offers a biblically grounded perspective on body stewardship that can enhance your coaching, counseling, or personal ministry, helping others see their health goals through the lens of God's design and purpose. I talk more about that in this video…
-
The Whole Church (Men & Women!)
Though this study is written and marketed to women, this isn’t just for women—men, too, need to hear and understand the biblical truth about the body and soul, more than ever. This study is an invitation for the entire church community to reframe their understanding of identity, self-care, and spiritual health. When the whole body of Christ embraces this message, it transforms how we live out our faith in every aspect of life. Consider picking up a copy for your Lead Pastor or sharing the resource with your church leadership team. Follow the link below for dozens of FREE resources for your church…
FAQs
-
Yes and yes. :) I absolutely go first and share my own body struggles, but Body & Soul is rooted in so much more. It is grounded in Scripture, as biblical truth informs our understanding of our bodies, health, and physical well-being as part of God's design. We don’t need more experts weighing in on our bodies, me included. A subject this important cannot be addressed by opinion and personal experience alone, which is why I wanted to dig deep into what Scripture had to say about it!
-
Through each of the six sessions, I directly address these issues and more by examining what Scripture teaches about our design, function and purpose and how that correlates to Christ’s embodied actions, which completely changes how we see ourselves.
-
Biblical truth informs us in every way, including how we live our physical and mental health life. This study isn’t meant to overwhelm us with more tips and tricks, like the ones that make up our media feeds. Body & Soul focuses on biblical principles and theology, while giving us clear directives about decision making in every area of our embodied life.
