“Your body is a precious gift from God. And the Bible is clear about its highest purpose: To make God look good.” - John Piper

RENEW YOU’ SHOW NOTES:
Host Quinn Kelly highlights Romans 12:2 thinking by helping readers reflect on this thought:
The WORLD says this: Focus on the exterior. Beauty is on the outside.
But God’s WORD says this: “Do not focus on what is seen but what is unseen because what is seen is temporary but what is seen is eternal.” - 2 Corinthians 4:18
