In this rich and practical conversation, Chad sits down with Dr. Lainey Greer — author of Embodied Holiness — to unpack the theology of the body and why it matters for every believer.
Many Christians separate spiritual life from physical life, but Scripture never does. Lainey helps us rediscover a biblical, embodied view of health — one that integrates the mind, the soul, and the body.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why Christians often undervalue the body
- How church history, hymns, and culture skewed our view of total health
- The hope and importance of the resurrection of the body
- The real connection between stress, anxiety, and physical habits
- The four essentials of body stewardship:
• Nutrition
• Exercise
• Rest
• Stress management - Why rest is not selfish — it’s biblical
- The power of movement for busy families
- Practical ways to honor God with your health right now
If you’ve ever wondered how physical health fits into your walk with Jesus, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a deeply biblical perspective on what it means to thrive in body, mind, and soul.
