About this episode

Monique and Krista discuss the debate between Jillian Michaels and body positivity activists, exploring themes of health, fat theory, and the implications for marriage and family.

This week: Monique and Krista react to fitness icon Jillian Michaels facing off against body positivity activists on Jubilee's Surrounded. Is "health at any size" true? We unpack the clips, fat theory/critical theory ties, intersectionality, therapist affirmation culture, and the definition of discrimination. Plus, our take on a clip from the "Black Girl Theology" podcast promoting singleness as "wealth" — is that God's design for most? We share honest thoughts on marriage, family, and discipleship.
