The Strength We Need | Thrive This Winter Week 2

Winter is coming and that means fluffy coats, peppermint mochas, & delicious baked goods. Share with the group what you are most looking forward to this winter and why.

Read 1 Timothy 4:7-8. One discipline to train in godliness (your holistic life) is to take care of your physical health. In what ways would investing in your physical health impact other areas of your life?

Our bodies are a gift from God. In Romans 12:1 we are encouraged to treat it in a way that’s honoring to Him, connecting our physical lives and our spiritual lives. Where is it challenging for you to engage in your physical health as a way to grow spiritually? Be sure to name any barriers you notice.

To go to a new place spiritually we have to want it and try something new. Share with the group how you will take one practical step this winter to take care of your physical health. Be as specific as possible and start this week.

Close your time in prayer. Go around and share what's on your heart or someone say this one over the group, “God I thank you for the bodies you blessed us with, no matter how broken or healthy they may be. Help us to take care of them and use them to the fullest extent of all possibilities. We want to put your gifts into play and that means we want to put our bodies into play. Show us how you want to use them. Amen.”
