What does faith have to do with fitness? Everything, according to scripture. Diving into a topic rarely discussed in wellness circles, on this episode, Lindsey explores the biblical foundation for self-care and why nurturing your health is a spiritual responsibility.

Drawing from verses like 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ("your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit"), we examine the revolutionary concept that we aren't owners of our bodies but stewards entrusted with their care. This perspective transforms everyday health decisions from mundane tasks into meaningful acts of worship. While society often frames self-care as either selfish indulgence or vanity-driven obsession, scripture presents a balanced middle path where caring for ourselves enables us to better serve others.

For those who feel guilty taking time for wellness practices, Jesus himself modeled the importance of rest, regularly withdrawing from crowds to replenish. Science confirms what scripture teaches. Nutrition affects mental clarity, exercise builds resilience, and sleep enhances emotional regulation, all supporting our ability to fulfill our purpose with excellence. Whether you're neglecting your health or perhaps making it an idol, this episode offers gentle correction and practical steps to approach wellness as a spiritual discipline.

Ready to transform your approach to health? Start by choosing one small wellness habit to practice this week as an act of stewardship. 

Share this episode with someone who needs permission to prioritize their wellbeing, and remember, your body is a gift, not just a vessel for accomplishing tasks but a sacred space worthy of care and respect.
