Getting Healthy in 2026: How Small Habits Lead to Big Results

Pastors carry so much spiritual weight that they often forget the physical, emotional, and family weight that comes with ministry. In this special episode, my wife joins me—not only as a pastor’s spouse, but also as a nutritionist—to share wisdom on setting meaningful, sustainable goals for 2026. Together we explore the challenges of planning a new year when life feels unpredictable and why caring for your body is actually a vital part of caring for your soul. Whether you’re a pastor, a spouse, or anyone trying to build healthier rhythms, you’ll find practical insight, honest conversation, and grace-filled encouragement to step into 2026 with clarity, hope, and some very practical ways to achieve those oft-elusive goals.
