Spirituality and Health – Why the Connection Exists
How God Designed Us Click to read more
We are marvelously designed by God. He made us in a way that all our body systems work together in unimaginable and intricate ways. Our soul, spirit, mind and body are all connected and work together perfectly according to His design. Because we are designed by God, when we live according to His principles as outlined in the Bible, our life will be more full and we are more likely to experience a life of peace, joy and hope. This will create an environment that favors good health. We outline this connection, from a biblical perspective, in our Beliefs and Basis for this Ministry.
“When individuals, regardless of their faith, incorporate these powerful biblical principles of the Christian faith into their lives, the spirituality and health connection occurs and they will tend to enjoy better health and well-being.” Dale Fletcher, Founder – Faith and Health Connection
Spirituality and Health
The link between spirituality and health is synonymous with the relationship between faith and health. I’ve chosen to name this ministry Faith and Health Connection because of the significance of the word faith. It takes an active faith for this “connection” to bear fruit in one’s life and have consequences on one’s health. Additionally, faith is used because of the significance that it plays in the Christian religion.
