In Pursuit Podcast

Have you ever wondered if there’s more to life? Not in a greedy, smash-and-grab kind of way, but more health, more integration, more wholeness? Each life, though singular, is made up six dimensions: the spiritual, relational, mental, physical, financial, and vocational. Many of our modern attempts at wellness fail to account for all these dimensions, worse, we end up trying to fix one part to the detriment of every other part. But there is a way to pursue wellness that leaves us integrated and whole. Guided by the best that modern science, ancient Christian wisdom, and life experience have to offer, your host, Pastor Dion Garrett, engages in long form conversations with ordinary people, who are on this extraordinary journey. Join us as we pursue a whole life together.
