Episode Description
Welcome to Behold-Her Beauty where we talk about all things Beauty.
Today, my guest is Melissa Louise Johnson, author of "Soul-Deep Beauty: Fighting for Our True Worth in a World Demanding Flawless"
and we are discussing redefining beauty.
Melissa's journey through an eating and exercise disorder opened her eyes to the fact that the beauty and diet industry sells us a narrative that we are flawed and, therefore, need to buy their products. But also, on a spiritual level, the enemy uses shame to keep us from becoming who God made us to be. Namely, His beautiful daughters who are invited to join their Creator as He transforms the fallen into His Beauty.
How do we trade in the broken beauty culture for beauty defined by God?
Melissa unpacks the lies we have been sold and how to encounter the authentic beauty of God. Melissa says we can flourish in a life of authentic Beauty, which is living with God rather than a superficial, fleeting societal Beauty.
Listen now and join in on our intimate and vulnerable conversation.

Let's talk about it. As the old saying goes....Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so lets try and find the beauty in another persons perspective. With that being said...I'd love to hear what you think!

Each episode, we’ll take one of my favorite songs and dive deep into it, listening to all the nuances that make it a great song. You may be unfamiliar with some of these songs, while others you’ve probably heard a hundred times, but I bet if we listen closely, we can discover something new. Of course, there’s no definitive answer to what makes a great song—beauty is in the ear of the beholder—these are just my personal favorites, but I hope you love these songs, too.
