Your Body Is a Temple: This Bible Verse Isn’t About Shame - Candace's Podcast Season 11 Episode 6

I am going on tour for the first time ever this fall November 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd in four special cities. Join me for laughs, games, Full house trivia, real conversations around women's wellness, and I'll be taking audience questions. Tickets and info at candace.com/tour

What comes to mind when you hear “your body is a temple”? For many of us, this verse has been used as a weapon of shame rather than a source of freedom.
In this powerful conversation, Candace and Lisa unpack the truth of 1 Corinthians 6:19, diving into how the Church has often misapplied it, how purity culture distorted it, and why understanding the indwelling of the Holy Spirit changes everything about how we see our bodies.

Candace opens up vulnerably about her early years of marriage and the struggle to embrace her body without shame. Together, she and Lisa guide listeners toward a whole-body theology that replaces fear and behavior modification with grace, beauty, and the truth that we are beloved temples of God’s Spirit.

This episode also includes real and tender listener questions—about navigating a spouse’s porn addiction, and about breaking cycles of negative self-talk and body hatred.
