I've always been captivated by the idea of a truly prosperous life—one filled with purpose, joy, and a deep sense of peace. For years, like many of you, I believed this prosperity was primarily an outward thing, measured by our success, our health, or our bank account. But what if the key to a thriving life isn't found in what we accumulate, but in what we cultivate?
This journey began for me with a single, powerful verse: 3 John 1:2. It’s a prayer that asks for prosperity and health "just as your soul prospers." It's a profound thought. Our external well-being, the verse suggests, is directly connected to our internal health. The root of all flourishing is the soul.
So what exactly is this "soul"? Here, we'll explore it as the very core of who you are—a holistic blend of your mind, your will, and your emotions. It’s the engine of your thoughts, the compass of your choices, and the heart of your feelings.
"As Your Soul Prospers" is a space dedicated to the care and cultivation of that inner world. This is not a place for quick fixes or surface-level advice. It's a place to roll up our sleeves and tend to the garden of our souls, learning how to nourish it when it's strong and heal it when it's wounded.
I'm so glad you're here. Let's start this journey together.
