WHY A PHYSICAL TOOLBOX?
Is there any need for a physical toolbox? Yes, and here’s why.
Lots of us have “body issues”. Some of us are absolutely obsessed- scrutinizing our hips, legs and stomach. Some people live on the scale, studying the numbers like we’re trying to earn a PhD in diffidence. Some of us have a tendency to disassociate from our bodies. Because of trauma, stress, or self-deprecation, we have a tendency to completely abandon our bodies altogether. This twisted and fallen world has beat us down- mentally and physically, and left us to deal with the wreckage.
So how do we honor the vessels that God has given us? If we’re truly “fearfully and wonderfully made”, then how do we steward our temples? What does it mean to physically “feel good”? We’ll discuss body image, nutrition, health/healing, fitness, and overall physical wellness.
I can’t wait. Let’s get it!
