Let's Talk About Obesity & the Church

On this episode of Worship Is My Weapon, Rita sits down with a subject that is not easy to discuss - Obesity and how the Church responds to people struggling with their weight.

Rita shares how shame entered her life at a young age because of her weight and how she learned to identify the voice of the Lord through her battle with self-acceptance and the opinions of others.

Rita hopes this conversation will create a safe space and community for people struggling with weight and body image.
