Manakin welcomed Dr. Wendy LeBolt for a forum discussing how God made us to move. Wendy, author of Made to Move: Knowing and Loving God Through our Bodies, shared what inspired her to write the book. “It occurred to me, if God was going to speak to me, he’d probably speak to the person he created,” she said. So, she decided to explore how God’s Word connects to our heart, soul, mind and senses. During the forum, Wendy shared excerpts from her book, including scripture and her observations, and discussed how the book was created to help people connect with God in different ways. She helped attendees explore one of those connections by using resistance bands and simple movements linked to song.
