VOICE OF TRUTH FOR TODAY
A deeper relationship with God.
Living with diabetes for decades pushed me to take responsibility for my health. What began as a physical shift soon became something much more. God used my pursuit of wellness to open doors I never expected—removing me from the corporate world and guiding me into holistic health. Through that journey, I discovered something profound: my spirituality directly affected my health and healing.
As I began nourishing my body with whole foods, spending time in nature, and caring for my inner life, my soul naturally craved more of God. My relationship with Him deepened in ways I could never have orchestrated on my own. It became clear that this lifestyle was no longer just holistic—it was holystic, with a Y, because true healing cannot exist apart from Jesus.
Scripture reminds us, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit… Therefore honor God with your bodies” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20, NIV). God cares about us spiritually, emotionally, and physically. When we invite Him into every area of our lives, transformation follows.
If you are longing for deeper intimacy with Jesus, know this: God desires wholeness for you—body, mind, and spirit. When we surrender fully to Him, He lovingly leads us into a life of balance, healing, and peace.
