On Physical Health, Rhythms of Rest, and Seeking Simplicity

How should Christians think about physical health—and what does it have to do with rest and joy?

In Episode 13, we start with a candid conversation about fitness, body image, and stewardship of our bodies, and then dive into a family vacation that sparked a deeper discussion:
Should we try to create more “perfect” moments—or see them as gifts?

We cover:

• Should Christians care about their physical fitness? Where’s the line between health and vanity?

• Loving others enough to speak truth about health without shaming

• The difference between true rest and simply escaping work

• Building healthy rhythms of Sabbath, simplicity, and relationships

• Why our culture’s obsession with busyness, technology, and entertainment leaves us empty

• How to find “thin places” where life feels close to heaven

If you’re longing for a healthier lifestyle—body and soul—and want to experience more of God’s peace in daily life, this conversation is for you.
