536-Take Your Next Health Step to Own Your Growth (feat. Justin Roethlingshoefer)

Sometimes Christians speak about the body as though it barely matters. As though spiritual growth and physical stewardship are completely separate things. But Scripture paints a very different picture. God created your body intentionally. Jesus came in a body. Jesus rose in a body. And one day, we will receive glorified bodies. Your body matters to God. In this episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer (Own It Show, The Power of Ownership) explained how many people live disconnected from their bodies entirely. Ignoring exhaustion. Ignoring stress. Ignoring burnout. Ignoring emotional pain. Until eventually the body begins sounding alarms we can no longer ignore. Anxiety. Fatigue. Autoimmune struggles. Hormonal issues. And often we wonder: "Why is this happening to me?" But perhaps sometimes the better question is: "Have I been stewarding what God entrusted to me?" Not from condemnation, but from invitation. Because God is not trying to shame you. He is inviting you into abundant life. And at the center of that invitation is identity. Justin shared that for years, he believed his worth came from achievement and performance. But God taught him that he did not need to earn what had already been freely given through Christ. You do not have to prove your value. You already have value. And from that secure identity, you can begin making decisions that honor the life and body God has given you. And when you care for your body fully, you can also show up for the things God has for you fully.

Through Belah's videos its abundantly clear that I am the one that needs change but these changes are only possible through Christ and his grace and desire to see me have a relationship with him first and then allow him to present me again to my wife as the man of God she has always wanted to be with." .........................................................
