Where the Rubber Meets the Road - Healthy Living

What's a soul? Your soul is the whole of who you are, including your body. How you treat your body, and the bodies of others matter. 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV)
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Psalm 139:14 (NIV)
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
   your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Group Discussion Questions:
What are some of the “boxes” in your life? Which boxes are currently the most healthy? Which are the least?
How do your most healthy “boxes” affect the rest?
How do the less healthy “boxes” affect the rest?

How might knowing that “physical health” and “relational health” are connected to “spiritual health” affect how you might care for someone who is sick? Care for yourself?

What does it mean to you to “honor God with your body?”

If six months from now you were “more healthy” overall than you are today – what might be different from the way it is now? What support do you need from others in order to be more healthy?
