LET'S BE HONEST
How do you Prioritize your physical health in ministry. We want to talk about new priorities as we look at post-pandemic youth ministry. Let's be honest, it can be very difficult to prioritize physical health with the late nights, pizza, and Mountain Dew!
How could rearranging our priorities improve multiple aspects of your life?
1. What is one podcast that you have been consistently listening to?
2. What was your hardest class ever?
3. Are you a Starbucks or a local coffee shop person?
DISCUSSION TIME
Do you agree with this statement: we put limitations on what God is able to do by not prioritizing our physical health.
Which is the hardest thing for you to regulate: what you consume, exercise, or sufficient sleep?
Is there anything you are doing now consistently for your physical health? Eating habits? Workout habits?
Share a story of "that health freak" in your life. What qualities does this person possess to make him/her so dedicated?
Your pursuit of health is not thinking about what you are NOT able to do, but start with thinking about what your body CAN do. Have you ever accomplished something physically that you didn't think was possible?
How can prioritizing health enable what you want to do in ministry in 10 years? With your family in 10 years?
Stop. Challenge. Make a Choice. Practice on the easy stuff first and you will see it happen in other areas of your life. What are some areas in your life that you need to stop, challenge, and make a choice?
PRAY FOR
For a surrender to how God could be leading us in this topic
For mental toughness to commit to a healthy lifestyle

For love of God to compel all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength
