Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20

Physical and emotional health are foundational pieces to our wellbeing. They are also both fundamental in our worship to the Lord. Our bodies are His temple, the place were the Holy Spirit resides in us. They are also our offering to Him as His witnesses, as we are His hands and feet here on earth. Thus, looking after our physical selves is not only important, it's also the God-honouring way to energize ourselves so that we may be better equipped to serve Him and carry out His plans. 

Likewise, "emotional health and spiritual maturity are inseparable. It is not possible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.” (Pete Scazerro, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality) Exploring issues concerning our emotional health is another aspect of our faith journey that we can rely on God's strength, and others, for support. Because "two are greater than one," LEAD aims to help us tackle issues of interest to us with the wisdom and experience of another walking alongside.
