Revelation Wellness - Healthy & Whole

Grab your water (take a big sip right now), lace up your shoes, and be present to what it feels like to quench your thirst. This is your call to move your body and have fun today!
Truth be told, you're thirsty! We're a chronically dehydrated people… both physically and spiritually. Today, let's move our hearts closer to the Living Water—Jesus.
Key Scripture John 7:37-38 (NIV)
As you start to feel better and get your body moving, offer your body as an act of worship. Exercise uses the whole body—that's why it's so beneficial for us as whole people created in God's image.
God provides… for every step you take. He's the source of true endurance—not just for the miles, but for the marathon of life.
The Biology of Thirst: A Mirror to Our Soul's Need—Did you know your body is about 60% water, and your brain is roughly 75% water? Water is essential for every cell, every thought, every heartbeat. That physical desperation when we're dehydrated? It reflects something deeper.
Breaking Down Water in Scripture—and Our Dependence on Christ Just like our bodies cry out for physical water to survive and thrive, our souls thirst for the Living Water. When our soul is thirsty, we become desperate people—chasing temporary fixes, distractions, or empty wells that never satisfy. But Jesus invites the thirsty to come to Him. He doesn't just quench; He becomes a spring welling up to eternal life, overflowing to others. 
Reflection Questions to Ponder (or Journal During/After Your Movement)
How has God been faithful to you lately, even in small ways?
What wilderness season have you survived… or are you walking through right now? How is He sustaining you there—like living water in the desert?
What are you thirsting for? What water from the rock does Jesus need to bring?
So hydrate up (literally and spiritually), move with joy, and let this workout be worship!

The episode that's been a long time coming: Can Christians do yoga?
We dive into the full range of opinions—from "yoga is evil" to "yoga is amazing"—and invite you to lay down fear, judgments, and pre-made decisions. Whether you're curious, have a personal story, or are wrestling with this question, this conversation is for you.
Can Christians walk into a yoga studio? Should they?
What does the history of yoga tell us?
Do the postures themselves "open you up" spiritually?
Why the fear often centers on the body—and why that's missing the bigger picture.
Key Themes Explored:
God created our bodies in the beginning—for reaching, bending, moving, stretching, running, and being free. The body belongs to Yahweh, the one true God. Your body is not something you have; it's who you are. And your body is the place where God lives.
"I'm saying—Come out, be separate, but bring your body with you. Don't be afraid of your body. Your body is the place God lives."
We're not afraid of stretching. We're called to freedom: Your body was bought at a price (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), so use it to bring glory to God.
Movement reflects God's creative brilliance—just look at how the body responds to stretching and exercise. When we become afraid of our bodies, we separate from His perfect love (1 John 4:18), and the body becomes an object instead of a temple.
Scripture Highlights:
Colossians 1
John 1
1 Corinthians 6:19
2 Chronicles 7:3
Psalm 138
Nehemiah 9:5
1 John 4:18
Romans 14
Acts 17:28
2 Timothy 1:7
1 Timothy 4:8
We address the tough questions:
Can yoga be dangerous?
Can postures open us up to worshipping false gods?
Why is a religious heart sometimes rooted in fear?
The call to be informed, wise, and reconciled to Christ.
The Big Picture: God loves bodies. Movement belongs to Jesus. The body is an instrument of praise. Let's honor Him by stewarding our bodies well, without fear, and with discernment.

Here's a steady-state Zone 2 movement (perfect for a brisk walk, easy hike, or light jog). Press play, lace up, and move your body while soaking in God's Word. No high-intensity intervals today — just sustainable, conversational effort that builds endurance in your body and spirit.
Scripture Focus James 2:8 – "If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself,' you are doing well."
Key Points

Press play, move your body, and feel hope rise in this powerful interval workout!  
Invitation: Scan your body—where do you feel heavy or dense? Your body holds tension and is constantly taking notes...it's working for you. As your mind gets renewed, stay connected to your body.
Anchor Verse: John 7:28-30
Core Question: What do you do when your timeline doesn't match God's?  
You might have a frustrated heart or even a bitter one, but you're here—that means you have a faithful heart. 
God has delight in you for not turning away. You were made for this: faith, hope, and love. Where else are you going to go when the timeline doesn't add up?  
Bold Invitation: Say, "Hey God, surprise me! Teach me something about You that I didn't know."
Mic Drop: "Where truth is spoken there will be a commotion."
A Practical Takeaway: What's something you can do to create while you're in the waiting?
