## Resource

Have you ever wondered what God thinks about Botox, fillers, or cosmetic procedures? In today's episode, I'm sharing my personal journey with chin filler, why I ultimately decided to dissolve it, and how God used that experience to challenge my heart. We'll talk through the pros, the cons, and what Scripture says about beauty, identity, comparison, and contentment. This isn't an episode meant to shame anyone. Instead, my hope is that we learn how to bring every decision—even cosmetic ones—before the Lord and ask the deeper questions about our motives and where we're finding our worth. Whether you've had Botox, are considering cosmetic procedures, or simply wrestle with comparison and beauty standards, I hope this conversation encourages you to root your identity in Christ above all else.
