Health is often defined as not merely the absence of disease, but a state of well-being that includes physical, emotional, mental, and social health. In this space, I share resources about collaborative faith and health initiatives, related blog posts, in addition to other resources on the intersection of faith and health. Some of the information is relevant to ways faith can be intentionally integrated into thoughts, as well as practices, related to your personal health and wellness. Other resources provide guidance for community and congregational faith-based health and wellness activities.
