Why DUCK DYNASTY Star Reframes Body Image Struggles Through Worship
By Movieguide® Contributor
Sadie Robertson Huff revealed the heart behind her new song “Mirror” which helps listeners combat the lie that their body is unwanted.
“When we sat down to write that day, I said, ‘Let’s try to write out testimony, but in a way that leads other people to their testimony!’ I was not planning on writing based on my own experience that day. I thought I would help tell everyone else’s story — until someone mentioned writing on body image,” Huff said.
“As we started talking about what girls need to hear, I sat there quietly, thinking, ‘That’s actually what I needed to hear,’” she continued. “I opened up to my friends that day about how hard my teenage years were regarding body image and how much that held me back. I remember that, as I was being seen by many, all I wanted to do was hide. I was telling everyone to live original but struggling to do so myself.”
“I’m grateful now to say I don’t feel the need or desire to hide!” Huff proclaimed. “I know our lives are SO much more significant than we look like…our physical beauty is fleeting, but if we are so insecure that all we want to do is hide, how can we fully live what God has for us?”
“I believe that when we can fully embrace how we were made and who we were made to be, there is no limit to the life we can live!” Huff added. “I hope you find freedom past your insecurity as you realize who you were created by and what you were created for!!”
Huff’s song reminds listeners of the truth that God loves what He sees when we look in the mirror. He created us to all be unique, and so when we don’t look exactly like those around us, it is not a bad thing. Rather than focusing on our physical attributes, we should instead, rest in the fact that we are children of God.
“Mirror” is part of Huff’s new music project, through which she is sharing original worship songs. She is doing so in collaboration with LO Worship, a music brand she created in 2022.

Former DUCK DYNASTY star Sadie Robertson Huff recently launched the LO WORSHIP record label and publishing group and a new band by the same name.
LO WORSHIP features singers Brantley Pollock, Kaylea Mayo and Cazaiah Franklin.
Robertson Huff said her desire to launch LO WORSHIP came from her relationship with Jesus and how worship music helps sustain her in difficult times.
“I started LO Worship because I wanted to write songs that support the messages that Live Original is already sharing: that one encounter with Jesus can change everything,” Robertson Huff said. “People don’t always remember a 40-minute sermon—but they do remember a song! I wanted to help people find the words to sing over themselves in hard times. Worship has always done that for me. LO Worship is a group of friends, songwriters and musicians that I have gathered together to use their gifting to write songs which magnify Jesus and lead people to that encounter with Him.”
