What if the missing piece in every body conversation you've ever had wasn't a new program, a better routine, or the right expert, but a theological foundation you never knew you were missing? In this special Summer Reset episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, we're sharing something a little different: a conversation that was so good, we had to bring it here. This is the premiere episode of Season 11 of The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, where Lisa co-hosted alongside Candace for a full season dedicated to body, soul, and faith. In it, Lisa introduces the concept of whole body theology: a biblical framework that reframes how we see ourselves not as projects to fix, but as whole persons created for God's glory. Both women get vulnerable about their own long and complicated histories with body image and disordered eating, the exhaustion of conflicting health information, and what it actually looks like when the Word of God becomes the foundation, not just another tool in the stack. If you've ever felt exhausted by the endless cycle of health information, or wondered why knowing better has never quite been enough, this conversation is for you. And if this episode resonates, the full season is waiting. Check out all 12 episodes on YouTube!

Is self-care selfish or is neglecting yourself the real problem? Continuing the Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle tackles one of the most loaded terms in modern culture and offers a distinction that changes everything: it's not whether you practice self-care, it's what the end goal of your self-care actually is. Lisa answers listener questions directly – including her personal take on Botox, lip injections, hair extensions, and eyelash enhancements – before getting to the heart of what she really wants to talk about: four red flags that signal self-care has crossed into self-obsession, and what it looks like when a Jesus follower takes care of herself for the right reasons.

What does it actually mean to honor God with your body? Not as an aesthetic goal, but as an act of worship? In this episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle sits down with her friend Alisa Keeton, founder of Revelation Wellness and author of The Body Revelation, for a conversation that goes far deeper than diet culture or fitness trends. Keeton draws on 35 years of wellness expertise and her own experience with chronic stress to make the case that body, mind, and spirit were never meant to be compartmentalized – and that what happens in the body is inseparable from what happens in the soul. From the neuroscience of chronic stress to the shame messages many of us absorbed in childhood, this episode offers a spiritually grounded, scientifically informed path toward genuine freedom in the body. Note: This episode includes discussion of eating disorders and body image and is not recommended for young or developing children.

What do you see when you look in the mirror, and what story have you been telling yourself about your body? Continuing the Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle steps into one of the most personal conversations she has ever had on the show, drawing from her own experience with disordered eating to offer a spiritual perspective on what it means to pursue genuine freedom in the body. Speaking not as a clinician but as a Bible teacher, Lisa identifies two specific ways we stay stuck, and the one question from John 5 that cuts to the heart of it all.

Is God real? According to Lee Strobel, that question is Googled more than 200 times per second, making it one of the most pressing questions of our time. In this episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle sits down with atheist-turned-teaching-pastor and New York Times bestselling author, Lee Strobel, for a conversation rooted in his book, Is God Real? 

Strobel shares his own journey from unbelief to faith, tackles the question of suffering head-on, addresses how to talk with children or teens who are walking away from faith, and makes the case that intellectual honesty and genuine belief are not enemies. This is essential listening for every believer who has wrestled with doubt, loves someone who has, or simply wants to be equipped to have the most important conversation of our time.

What was the Acts 2 church meant to be? And how far have we drifted from it? Continuing the Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle tackles a topic her own audience asked her to address: the cliques, popularity dynamics, and comfortable social circles that quietly take root in the very place designed to be their opposite. Drawing on real messages from listeners, teachings from top theologians, and a challenge rooted in Matthew 28, Lisa makes the case that playing church – surrounding ourselves with people who look, act, and think just like us – is more than a social problem. It's a spiritual one. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever felt the gap between what the church is supposed to be and what it sometimes is, and wants to close it.
