Today, we're sharing an episode of Let It Shine with Angie Elkins and Whitney Capps on tending the temple versus body positivity.

Yes, we can accept our bodies the way they are to an extent, but Angie and Whitney are here to talk about the fact that we also have a responsibility to our bodies.  Angie and Whitney have a vulnerable conversation about their own unique journeys, the complexities of our bodies, the messages we tell ourselves about them, and how we function in them as temples of the Holy Spirit.  Go follow Angie and Whitney on Instagram and share your thoughts on body positivity.
