A Biblical Perspective on Self-Care

Host Mary Phillips and her husband Steven discuss the importance of self-care from a Christian perspective, addressing common feelings of guilt surrounding taking time for oneself. The conversation breaks down self-care into three core areas—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and uses various Bible verses to support the necessity of rest and personal health. The episode highlights how neglecting one's own needs can lead to burnout, negative attitudes, and emotional distance in relationships, while also exploring how spiritual connection serves as a foundation for mental and physical well-being. Listeners are encouraged to move past feelings of being overworked and to find intentional ways to recharge without apology.
