#069: Redefining Beauty

by | Feb 1, 2015

Beauty. Six letters that hold so much weight on young women today. This week, Jeff and Dave sit down with Kris and Lisa – two women whose desire is to help young women find beauty through God’s eyes. Society puts so much pressure on young women to “be beautiful” with their airbrushed models plastered in every magazine and billboard. In fact, 69% of girls in 5th-12th grade reported that magazine pictures influenced their idea of a perfect body shape. (source) Is your view of beauty only skin deep?

Jeff Strommen @jstrommen
Dave Wager @wagerdaw

Now, before we take a pessimistic (read: hopeless) point of view here, let’s be clear that there are many good men out there yet who need to be awoken in their stone-cold hearts. In case you missed the beginning of this conversation on HopeNet Radio, you can listen to the podcast here and start about midway through it. While this is not a new issue, it’s one worth talking about because we’re seeing a society of men who:

+ detach or disown their families
+ are addicted
+ don’t know how to be good husbands/fathers/friends

We’re here to help! Then, on the 2nd half of the show, we’re talking about our society’s fascination with dark spiritual things. Plus, we’re reading your emails, Facebook posts, & tweets!

“Oh sweet Lorraine,” the song begins. “I wish we could do all the good times over again.”

Stobaugh, who’s not a musician, entered the lyrics into a singer-songwriter contest at Green Shoes Studios in Illinois.
