Show Notes
In this episode of Ecosystem, we sit down with Sarah Olsen, a personal trainer, life group leader, and soon-to-be licensed mental health counselor, to talk about holistic health—spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical—and how each area is deeply connected in the life of a Jesus follower.
Drawing from scripture, personal experience, and professional insight, Sarah helps us explore:
What the Bible really says about taking care of your body
Why physical health is a spiritual discipline
How stress, anxiety, and emotional well-being impact the body—and vice versa
The importance of slowing down, listening to God, and stewarding your health
Why lasting change starts with a heart transformation, not just head knowledge
This conversation is both practical and deeply encouraging—whether you're starting a health journey, recovering from burnout, or just feeling overwhelmed in your faith walk. Sarah reminds us that taking care of ourselves is not selfish—it’s a way to honor God, love others, and become healthy to the core.
