Are we just souls trapped in bodies—or something more? In this powerful message, Pastor CJ Ward breaks down the misconception that our physical health is separate from our spiritual health. Drawing from Genesis 2:7, 2 Corinthians 5, and Matthew 12:34, CJ shows how we are fully integrated beings—body and soul—created in the image of God.

He challenges the cultural belief that the soul matters more than the body and reminds us that the hope of resurrection is not about escape but restoration. Using relatable metaphors like bicycles and water bottles, CJ helps us see why what we do with our bodies matters deeply to God.

Key Takeaways:

• You are a whole person—body & soul.

• What you do with your body has spiritual consequences.

• God’s goal for you isn’t perfection but holistic health.

• Healing comes through pursuit, prayer, and trust.

• Our ultimate hope is resurrection—not escape.

What does it mean to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength? In this message, Chelsea Arrington opens our new series by exploring the essential link between emotional and spiritual health.

Using Matthew 22:36–40 and Deuteronomy 6:5 as her foundation, Chelsea explains why emotional maturity is not optional for disciples of Jesus—it’s central. She unpacks the five core areas of health (physical, spiritual, mental, social, emotional) and reminds us that unacknowledged emotions can derail our growth.

You'll hear real-life examples, powerful metaphors (including Pixar's Inside Out), and biblical truth to help you understand:

✅ Why emotions are a gift from God
✅ What happens when we suppress feelings
✅ How emotional health shapes our ability to love others
✅ Why Jesus was the most emotionally aware person who ever lived

Jesus wept. He celebrated. He grieved. He rejoiced. And to become more like Him, we must become emotionally honest.

Scripture Highlights:

• Matthew 22:36–40

• Deuteronomy 6:5

• Genesis 1:27

• Mark 3:5, Luke 10:21

• John 11:35, Matthew 9:36

• John 10:10

Action Step: Take time today to ask yourself:

1. How does God want me to see my emotions?

2. How are my emotions affecting how I love God and others?
