“Sometimes I cannot say much about why I go to church other than what people who go to the gym say: I always feel better once I'm there; I feel better after; it is always good for me, not good in a take-your-vitamins way, in a chidingly moralistic way, but in a palpable way.” - Lauren F. Winner
Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 3:8
This will be healing for your body
and strengthening for your bones. (CSB)
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life! (MSG)
Other verses mentioned in the episode:
My heart is broken within me,
and all my bones tremble. (Jeremiah 23:9a)
All my bones shall say,
“O Lord, who is like you,
delivering the poor
from him who is too strong for him,
the poor and needy from him who robs him?” (Psalm 35:10)
A Forbes article quoting a Mayo clinic publication:
“Most studies have shown that religious involvement and spirituality are associated with better health outcomes, including greater longevity, coping skills, and health-related quality of life (even during terminal illness) and less anxiety, depression, and suicide. Several studies have shown that addressing the spiritual needs of the patient may enhance recovery from illness.”
