In the conservative Christian community, there tends to be much emphasis on the spiritual disciplines, and rightly so. Reading the Bible, praying, going to church, participating in small groups, and actively serving the Lord in various ways are supposed to be practiced with sacred consistency. However, what is oftentimes overlooked is the discussion about the importance of physical discipline. Eating healthy, exercising regularly, managing stress effectively, and resting intentionally are all necessary for living a high-quality life.
Rather than merely praying for healing for lifestyle-related illnesses, let's be proactive to either prevent or reverse them. Let's work together to become better versions of ourselves by taking a holistic approach to strengthening our health and well-being. After all, the last thing we want is to one day look back over our lives and wish that we would have taken better care of ourselves.
