Faith leaders, have you seen how your physical state can affect your ability to spiritually lead? Are you physically exhausted, fatigued, or weary? Maybe you had big goals for 2022: sleep more, exercise more, eat better. How are you doing pursuing those goals?
It is easy for spiritual leaders to put off caring for the body while focusing on soul work and the pulls of ministry. However, when one aspect of personhood is neglected or hurting, the other aspects are affected too. That interconnectedness is just one of many reasons why caring for the body is so important.
Duke Divinity School is partnering with Church Mutual Insurance Company, S.I. (a stock insurer) to host the first Faith + Fitness webinar of 2022. Led by two experts, the webinar will explore the foundational value of the body and practical ways to care for it.
Learning to better value and care for the body can strengthen the connection between physical and spiritual health.
