72. What 1 Samuel 16:7 teaches us about body image, health, and what God is actually looking at. This week, I'm sharing something a little different. Instead of showing you another healthy meal or workout, I'm inviting you into the struggle behind the salad. In this honest conversation, I share 5 Biblical Wellness Fails I made just this past week—from skipping workouts and spiraling over feeling "puffy" to judging myself in photos, checking my abs before checking my heart, and yes... even putting Doritos on my salad (don't knock it til you try it). Together, we'll explore what God is teaching us through 1 Samuel 16:7: "The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." If you've ever struggled with body image, food guilt, perfectionism, shame, or trying to be "healthy" for the wrong reasons, I hope this episode reminds you that Biblical Wellness isn't about becoming more impressive—it's about becoming more available to love God and serve others.

071. In this episode of the Healtheology Podcast, we explore the Biblical wellness framework behind RPMS: Relational, Physical, Mental, and Spiritual wellness — and how Jesus modeled all four in Luke 2:52. If you’ve ever felt like parts of your life are “working”… but not working together… this episode is for you. We talk about:  Why modern wellness often feels disconnected  How Jesus lived a whole, integrated life  The connection between your thoughts, body, relationships, and faith  Why health is about capacity, not vanity  “Not waffles… spaghetti!” 🍝  How to stop chasing checkboxes and start building rhythms rooted in Jesus This isn’t about becoming perfect overnight. It’s about re-centering your entire life around Christ — one small, intentional step at a time. 📖 Scripture Mentioned  Luke 2:52  John 13:34–35  1 Corinthians 6:19  Romans 12:2  John 15:4 🔗 Resources & Links ✉️ Subscribe to the Healtheology Substack: https://wholehardy.substack.com 🤍 Join the Healtheology Community: https://wholehardy.com/skool Healtheology Community 📲 Follow along on Instagram:  @wholehardy 🎧 Related Episodes The Healtheology Storyline: 9 Verses That Changed How I View HealthMovement as Worship: Reframing Fitness Through JesusWhy We Don’t Get Healthy to Socialize — We Get Healthy to Help
