Wholly Like Jesus: A Journey to Holistic Faith-Based Wellness
Wholly Like Jesus was born out of a deep passion for God and a commitment to holistic health,combining faith and wellness to inspire others to live wholly Christ-centered lives.
Faith And Wellness
The Bible is clear when it says, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?” (1 Corinthians 6:19). As believers, our bodies are the temple of God. To treat this temple poorly or neglectfully would be disrespectful to the One who desires to dwell in it.
Understanding that your body, mind, and spirit are not your own is the first step toward a desire for wellness. Consider this: imagine you live near the beach, and your best friend goes on a month-long work trip, leaving you in charge of their beautiful home and beloved dog. This house, adorned with priceless antiques, reflects their lavish lifestyle. They leave you with specific but challenging instructions: walk the dog on the beach every morning and evening and ensure the house is spotless when they return. They also make a surprising offer—if everything is as they expect, they’ll make you their business partner.
You’ve always dreamed of partnering with your friend, not just for the financial reward but because you genuinely want to work alongside them. If this scenario were real, how would you handle their request? Personally, I’d go above and beyond—keeping the house spotless, ensuring the dog was well cared for, and doing whatever it took to exceed expectations.
This analogy mirrors what it means for your body to be a temple. Your body isn’t yours; it belongs to the Lord. He created you uniquely and wonderfully. Your body, mind, and spirit were intelligently crafted, and the Owner desires not only a clean house but more importantly a deep relationship with you.
Why Wholly Like Jesus?
The name Wholly Like Jesus reflects the truth that Jesus lived the perfect life—not by worldly standards of wealth or success, but by living a life fully pleasing to the Father. Jesus told us to follow Him, and He is the ultimate example of what it means to live wholly. Our specific focus will be more on the health side of how to live like Jesus, but there may be posts that go more in depth into other aspects of a life surrendered to Him.
The goal of this blog is to guide you on a journey to becoming wholly like Jesus—in mind, spirit, and body. This journey includes not just spiritual practices but also mental and physical wellness. Together, we’ll explore how to align our entire lives with God’s design and purpose.
We’ll tackle questions such as:
– What kinds of supplements are truly beneficial?
– How often should I exercise?
– Can Christians drink caffeine?
– What is meditation God’s way?
– How important is sleep, really?
– How do my daily habits shape my life?
– How can I love my spouse as Christ loves the Church?
We’ll also look at modern trends and science to discern what is not only healthy but also aligned with God’s will.
