#397: Can I Steward Biblical Self-Care? With Dr. Benjamin Espinoza

About this episode

Dr. Benjamin Espinoza discusses the deeper meaning of self-care rooted in spirituality and relationship with God.

What comes to mind when you think of self-care? Massages? Facials? Maybe a nap? While those are all good things, the truth is they won't sustain us in the long run. So today, pastor and theologian Dr. Benjamin Espinoza invites you to rethink self-care. He'll help you see that true self-care goes far beyond any surface-level indulgences and is actually deeply rooted in your relationship with God. You'll see why caring for yourself is essential in caring for others and how something as simple as play can make a big difference. Plus, he'll help you incorporate some very practical ( and biblical ) self-care into your already busy schedule. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure of how to care for yourself in a way that honors God, listen in! This conversation will help you faithfully steward the divine image God has given you. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/397 Enter to win the GIVEAWAY and read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.
