70: The 7 S’s of God-Centered Health (He Must Increase, We Must Decrease)

What if the habits you’ve been chasing for better health were never meant to make you the main character?

In this powerful episode of the Healtheology Podcast, Katie Hardy unpacks the 7 S’s of God-Centered Health. They're rhythms that help you feel spiritually lit from the inside out… not skinny, stressed, or stuck in another start-over cycle.

Building on Episode 69, this conversation shows you how true Biblical Wellness flows from consulting God first and then stewarding your body, mind, and relationships in a way that glorifies Him (not your own willpower).

Rooted in John 3:30 — “He must become greater; I must become less” — you’ll learn how to shift from self-focused health habits to Spirit-led rhythms that actually satisfy.

Inside this episode:

✨ Why self-centered health goals quietly leave us depleted
 ✨ The Biblical foundation for God-centered wellness
 ✨ The 7 S’s that support spiritual, physical, mental, and relational health
 ✨ How Katie personally got this wrong (and what God is reshaping now)
 ✨ Practical ways to pursue health with purpose, not pressure

If you’ve ever done “all the right health things” but still felt off… tense… or lonely — this episode will help you realign your habits with Heaven’s design.

Because here at Healtheology, we believe:

👉 It’s not Whole Health if God’s not a part of it.

69. 5 Steps to Creating Godly Health Goals | Biblical Wellness

Most health goals fail not because of lack of discipline but because they’re built on pressure, comparison, and self-centered motivation instead of Biblical direction.

In this episode of the Healtheology Podcast, Katie Hardy walks you through 5 practical, Scripture-based steps for creating Godly health goals that align with who you are in Christ and where God is leading your life.

Rooted in Psalm 139:23–24, you’ll learn how to:

• Invite God into your health journey before setting goals
• Identify hidden habits and misaligned rhythms
• Discern God’s direction for your year
• Build goals across the RPMS of Relational, Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Wellness
• Hold your goals with sweet surrender instead of self-sabotaging stress

If you’re tired of starting over, burning out, or chasing goals that don’t satisfy, this episode will help you shift from self-improvement to spiritual formation and from temporary discipline to lasting discipleship.

[Be sure to stay til the end for the game-changing bonus: Health Purpose Meditation]

Purpose can get a bad rap. People think it’s too lofty and you should just live your life, live your truth, you do you. But if you can picture people living this way, that’s just a messy way to live.

So on today's faith-based and Bible-backed episode of the Healtheology podcast, we're going to choose to BELIEVE Scripture's teachings that every one of us does in fact have a God-Given Purpose. AND...

This is the Purpose we need to anchor to our Health to actually WANT to show up for our bodies & brains everyday. AND...

Since your the purpose of your Purpose is to help others achieve their Purpose, your being Healthy rides on the Health of our FUTURE!

If that's not more motivating than "How to lose 10 lbs before summer"  I don't know what is.

Thanks for supporting this new vulnerable space with continuous room to grow.

Let's go deep!
