A few years ago in grad school, I was taking a course that reflected on embodied theology. Embodied theology recognizes that our faith is not just a part of our life, but encompasses our entire being. This theology grows out of the recognition that when Jesus rose from the dead, He still bore the scars of His crucifixion. The professor was talking about how we will be reunited with our bodies in Heaven, and suddenly, I felt tears start to fall. He spoke up, “Allie, what are your thoughts on this?” and I replied, “but I don’t want my body in Heaven, I thought Heaven was supposed to be perfect.”
Have you ever felt this way? Burdened by a body
