In today’s fast-paced world, many of us are constantly striving for more – more success, more wealth, more recognition. However, it is important to remember that true success and happiness can only be achieved when we are healthy and whole in all areas of our lives – including our faith walk, family, and business endeavors.
As Christians, we are called to be the light of the world and to draw others towards Christ through our actions and words. But how can we do that when we are burnt out, stressed, and struggling to keep up with the demands of life? It is important to take a step back and check the health and wellness of our entire being – mind, body, and spirit.
Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” God wants us to be happy, healthy, and prosperous – but not at the cost of neglecting our relationships, our physical health, and our spiritual growth. We must prioritize our time, our energy, and our resources in a way that honors God and supports our overall well-being.
Unfortunately, those in ministry aren’t exempt from burnout and exhaustion as they try to give their all to their congregation, often putting their family and financial health in jeopardy. This is why Dr. James N. Hassell has created Better Living TV – a platform that offers practical wisdom to improve our quality of life in ministry, marriage, and the marketplace.
By focusing on the idea of “BETTER,” Dr. Hassell reminds us that we must constantly strive to improve and grow in all areas of our lives. Better Living TV offers a community of like-minded individuals who are committed to living their best lives and making a positive impact on the world.
If you are ready to prioritize your health, wellness, and spiritual growth, we invite you to join the Better Living TV community. Subscribe to our show and stay updated on the latest episodes and practical wisdom to help you live your best life. Remember, when we are healthy and whole, we are better able to serve God and make a positive impact on those around us.
