Biblical Principles for Health & How to Apply Them | Wellness Wednesday 🌱

Happy Wellness Wednesday, Garden Fam 🌸

I hope you are doing well! Back when I returned to The Garden, I said that I really wanted to focus more on including more about what God says about health and how we can ensure that we are doing our part to be in right standing to receive our divine inheritance of health. I’ve been sharing more about God and the Bible in general on Faith Fridays, but for today’s Wellness Wednesday post, we’re taking it back to the foundation and exploring Biblical principles for health.

In today’s video, I share specific scriptures on God’s promises and instructions for health and offer practical ways to apply them in our lives. May health and healing be your portion as God intended it to be.


Enjoy, and have a healthy & wholesome week!


Love you bunches 🍇
