14. Build a Healthy Ecosystem in Your Life


Listen Later

In this episode, I reflect on Proverbs 4:23, emphasizing the importance of guarding our innermost being, as it influences every aspect of our lives—our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and actions. What’s happening inside of us will inevitably show up in how we live and walk out our lives.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Knowledge vs. Understanding: I explore the difference between knowledge—knowing God’s truths—and understanding—applying those truths in meaningful ways. Knowledge alone isn’t enough; we must also cultivate understanding to break free from destructive cycles and patterns.

  
- Breaking Strongholds: Many of us need to tear down strongholds and habits that keep us stuck. I discuss how Scripture guides us in recognizing and interrupting these patterns through intentional action.
  
- Healthy Ecosystems: I challenge you to think about your personal ecosystem—what does your “bubble of life” look like? Just like in nature, everything in our ecosystem is interconnected. I discuss how our body, soul, and spirit need to be nurtured to thrive.

- The Body: How are you caring for your physical health? Consider your diet, exercise, sleep, and the impact of stress or addictions on your well-being.

- The Soul: Reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and choices. Are there unresolved pains or unhealthy cycles keeping you stuck? Inner healing, forgiveness, and emotional regulation are crucial for a healthy soul.

- The Spirit: Your spirit is your life force, and it needs to be strengthened by God. Are you staying connected to Him through prayer, Scripture, and worship?

Scriptures Referenced:

- Proverbs 4:23
- Matthew 13:5-6, 20-21
- 1 Corinthians 3:5-7
- 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
- 1 Corinthians 5:6

I want to encourage you to be mindful of who and what you allow into your life. Small, daily choices matter—don’t compromise. Let’s commit to creating and nurturing a healthy ecosystem where we can truly thrive in every area of our lives.
