Ministry leaders serve the Lord and others more effectively when their physical health reflects their spiritual health.
Embodiment recognizes that humans are unified yet distinct, as immaterial and material beings who bear God’s image in body and soul. Ministry leaders need a biblical view of the body because Christianity is an embodied faith. Learning about wellness basics can also support their health and guard against stress that can arise from ministry work. A theology of the body speaks to these issues, and because it serves as the foundation of my work, I have developed resources that can support Christian leaders.

At times, Christians can have a low view of the body. While the reasons vary, the remedy is a biblical, theological understanding of physical existence. In the midst of a culture that devalues the body, Christian leaders must be ready to counter arguments that question the body’s purpose and goodness.Â
This reality means that Christians need the ability to recognize and guard against misconceptions that devalue the body. For ministry leaders, a biblical defense of physical existence is critical as you disciple others who may believe the body, and what they do with it, is inconsequential.
How can Understand Healthy help?
Maintaining physical health is a critical aspect of ministry work. Everyone deals with factors that detract from physical health, but Christian leaders face added pressures that can further exacerbate poor health. Despite busy schedules and demanding ministries, the necessity of physical health to support spiritual service ought not be overlooked. Understand Healthy can enhance your ministry by equipping you with tools to develop better health.
Why Embodied Care Workshops?
Knowledge of nutrition and exercise basics fortifies your ability to lead well. Christian leaders can extend their ministry longevity and benefit those in their care by being spiritually and physically healthy. Whether you could benefit from learning about health basics from a biblical perspective or knowing how to share a biblical view of the body, these workshops will equip leaders to counteract stress, guard against burnout, and confirm God's purposes for the body.
