The Problem With Perfect

The Surprising Thing that Reduces Deaths of Despair and Improves Overall Health


Listen Later

We all want to live longer and healthier lives. It's why we exercise, eat right and try to get enough sleep. But what if I told you this desire for healthy longevity should be another reason for regularly attending a faith service? This is precisely what a group of scientists recently concluded in a new article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). And what's even more surprising is what generation seems to be ahead of the curve on this revelation.

Join us for a compelling discussion on faith, health, church attendance, and why it should matter to us all.
