Paige McBride is the author of Beauty Not Beheld: A Daily Guard Against the Lies of Self-Love Culture. Together, Abigail and Paige tackle questions like: “What is beauty?”  “Am I beautiful?”  “How/What should Christians think about self-care?”  “What do I do if I don’t feel beautiful?”  Paige challenges us to think differently about beauty, identity, self-care, and modesty, and all women would benefit from considering her comprehensive definition of beauty that recognizes both the subjective and objective aspects of beauty.  Recommended Resources The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness Jen Wilkin (Author) The Rise & Triumph of the Modern Self Podcast Sponsor This week's podcast episode is sponsored by Hosanna Revival.
