About this episode

Heather Creekmore explores the difference between condemnation and conviction in the context of body image and weight loss.

Heather Creekmore dives deep into the commonly misunderstood difference between condemnation and conviction—especially when it comes to food, eating habits, and our journeys around body image and weight loss. Drawing from her 40-Day Body Image Workbook, Heather Creekmore unpacks why so many of us feel trapped in shame and guilt over our choices and how to discern whether the voices in our heads are actually leading us closer to God or away from Him. Using relatable stories (like Girl Scout cookie season temptations!) and biblical truth, Heather Creekmore explains how condemnation shames and separates us, while conviction gently guides and restores hope. She explores how diet culture often tricks us into believing that shame can help us "shape up," when in fact, Scripture says there’s no condemnation for those in Christ. You’ll also hear practical ways to tune into the Holy Spirit’s conviction instead of the enemy’s lies, and why making Satan your accountability partner is never the right choice. If you’re tired of negative self-talk and need to feel the difference between healthy conviction and harmful condemnation, this episode is for you…
