Summary
The holidays can bring up some big feelings about our bodies, from family gatherings (where people might comment about the size of our jeans or the food on our plates) to upended schedules and routines that have us grabbing too many holiday treats or, for some, white-knuckling it through to January. And often, these feelings can show up in the form of body shame.
If you can relate, then this episode is for you. Alisa's here today to share why you're just one decision away from having the best holiday yet, and she's giving you some fresh artillery to thrive this season without sinking into body shame.
Alisa's unpacking body shame, body dysmorphia, and its root. This episode will not only help you take a breath in a season that can seem like a frenzy, but it will also help remind you that you were made to live in hope, not shame.
Friends, will you help us end the year strong in this season of hope? We're in the final stretch of our Equip and Send Giving Campaign, working toward a $40,000 matching grant. Would you partner with us to make an impact? Every gift matters! (Donate Here)

| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, it's Elisa Keaton. Happy holiday season. I have a quick question for you, a little quiz. Let's see if you know the answer. What is the difference between self-esteem and self-worth? Well, self-esteem comes when we do something, achieve something, and feel like we got the little |
| 0:22.5 | medal of honor. It's evidence that we are able to do something we never thought we could do. |
| 0:27.2 | That builds up self-esteem. Maybe for some of you, you have done Revwell TV, you have done |
| 0:32.2 | some drumming, some rev-axing, things that you never thought you could do. That helps you build up |
| 0:37.4 | self-esteem. You know what? God is for that. But thought you could do. That helps you build up self-esteem. |
| 0:38.1 | You know what? God is for that. But here's the thing. Self-worth goes deeper. |
| 0:44.2 | Self-worth is not something you can earn. It is given. It is inherent. And that is what every person is on |
| 0:53.9 | the earth. Did you know, every person is on the earth. |
| 0:54.4 | Did you know, every person you meet today has self-worth and you can add to their self-esteem. |
| 1:02.3 | This is the goodness of God. |
| 1:04.0 | And I share this with you because right now on the earth there are over 8 billion image |
| 1:09.3 | bearers of God waiting to hear this good news, that God loves them, there are over 8 billion image bearers of God, waiting to hear this good news, that God |
| 1:13.8 | loves them, their bodies, all of who they are, not because of what they can do or the, quote, |
| 1:19.8 | weight loss or, quote, muscle gains they can achieve. No, he loves them because he made them and |
| 1:26.3 | they belong to him and they have inherent value. |
| 1:30.3 | And we need to go tell the world this message. And we need you to send us to go. |
| 1:36.8 | Help us with our end of the year giving. Right now, we have a campaign of $100,000 to reach |
| 1:42.4 | by the end of this year. And I believe we're going to get there, |
| 1:46.1 | but we need your help. And you know what? I have no problem asking you because I know you're a |
| 1:51.6 | giver. You show up every week to give, whether it's a revving the word or an RW Plus workout, |
| 1:58.2 | you are leaning into the things of God. And so I would ask in any way that this |
| 2:03.3 | ministry has blessed you, would you reach deep into your pockets, take out some money, and |
