WELLNESS CORNER

Is self-care selfish?


It can feel wrong to prioritize our own needs when there’s always more to do. But Scripture paints a different picture.


Jesus rested. He prayed. He stepped away to recharge. What if caring for ourselves isn’t selfish, but necessary for loving others well? In this week’s blog post, discover why caring for yourself is part of loving others well and how even small acts of stewardship can glorify God.
