Summary

In today's episode, Matthew Gay, creator of Fit Church United, joins me as we discuss the physical health needs of the church and ways to implement what the Bible says about health into daily life. A lot of Bible references are mentioned in this episode, and I realize many listening may not share the same biblical values and principles. It's certainly not a typical Digest This interview, but it may interest you because this topic isn’t discussed enough in today’s society. Many people in the church struggle with living a healthy lifestyle, and Matthew shares ways we can be a light in our communities to help influence change in our groups and personal lives. We talk about whether eating meat is prohibited, what the Daniel Diet actually is, and how you can apply biblical principles to your own health journey. I think this was an interesting take on health and fitness—one that could provide the motivation you need to jumpstart your healthy journey. Topics Discussed: The health of our potential military men Back to basics with health What the Bible says about food How to implement a healthy lifestyle in the church Tips to help others not struggle Getting accountability in your health journey The Daniel Diet Fasting Tips to make a healthy change in your church, community, and home As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].
