Be Well: Learning to Steward Your Health
Would you like to take better care of your body but aren’t sure what to do? Focusing on our souls doesn’t mean we should neglect taking care of our bodies. But often we are so busy caring for others and keeping to our schedules that we think we can’t fit in one more thing! This minibook explains that the body matters to God, and as a result, Christians are called to be faithful stewards of their physical health.
Struggling With Body Image: Seeing What God Sees
Everyone has a body image, and whether from society’s influence or age-related changes, most people battle a negative one. In a world with confusing messages about the body and social media’s promotion of unattainable standards for thinness or muscularity, it’s difficult to think well about our bodies. Greer, a counselor and fitness trainer with a firsthand understanding of body image struggles, helps readers reject negative messages and embrace a biblical vision for thinking about our bodies.
Because our bodies matter to God, it’s important that his Word, not the world we live in, informs how we view our physical selves. Struggling with Body Image helps believers develop a biblical understanding of the body that is foundational for a God-honoring body image.
Embodied Holiness: A Biblical Call to Bodily Care
As embodied, soul and body beings, Christians are commanded to glorify God in our bodies (1 Cor 6:20) and called to obedience in both spiritual and physical matters. Still, the overarching Christian tendency is to misunderstand embodiment, which often manifests in elevating the soul and devaluing the body. This hierarchical thinking reveals itself in activities that downplay the body’s worth, a longstanding issue with Gnostic roots that Paul tackled in the Corinthian church. His countermeasure against the licentious behavior of these anti-body believers was to highlight Trinitarian involvement with the body. This view was meant to correct misconceptions about the body’s value and provide a foundation that prescribes God-honoring behaviors. By this same foundation today, believers can confront body-neglecting behaviors within the church and body-denying beliefs in the culture, all of which are rooted in neo-Gnosticism.
This book will consider a variety of arguments to build the case that the body matters to God, a fundamental recognition that drives his children towards embodied holiness as lights in a disembodied, dark world.
