Hi, I’m Lainey Greer. You and I are embodied beings, immaterial and material, men and women who bear God’s image in soul and body. But sometimes, Christians devalue the body to the soul, which comes with consequences. My work provides a biblical view of the body to combat that tendency and help you live like your body matters.
From a theology of the body, to embodiment, body image, and body stewardship, this is the mission behind everything you’ll find on my site.
WELCOME!
YBM is for everyone, no matter where you are in your walk with God or on your journey
to a healthier life. Explore the categories below to find a resource that’s right for you.

As a follower of Jesus Christ, everything I do on this site revolves around explaining why your body matters. From a theology of the body to embodiment, body image, body stewardship, and ministry burnout, I equip Christians with a biblical and theological understanding of embodiment. My years of education and experience with nutrition, personal training, ministry, and seminary led me towards a clearer understanding of valuing the body through my Christian faith. I hope my work will motivate you to glorify God in your body.
