Lainey Greer, PhD.
Lainey is the founder of Your Body Matters and creator of Understand Healthy and The Bible and Your Body. She is passionate about Christian theology, a biblical view of the body, and strives to give believers the tools they need to glorify God in their bodies.
Her educational background includes a bachelor’s in exercise science from UT, a master’s in Christian leadership from DTS, and a Ph.D. in systematic theology from SBTS, in addition to 10 years of working in the church and 20 years of personal training. She is the author of Struggling with Body Image: Seeing what God Sees, Be Well: Learning to Steward Your Health, Embodied Holiness: A Biblical Call for Bodily Care, A Teen’s Guide to Eating Disorders: Hope for Your Struggle, and writes the Forsaken Body blog. Lainey frequently speaks on a theology of the body, body image, and burnout in Embodied Care Workshops that equip Christian leaders on caring for themselves while caring for others.
Her passion
Her faith in Jesus Christ drives everything she does. She believes our bodies were created by God and, therefore, we should honor him in the ways we treat them. To that end, her goal is to help people understand why their body is important, as well as equip them with the basics of how to care for it, regardless of their weight, activity level, or limitations.
