WEBVTT 00:08.640 --> 00:10.920 Aloha and welcome to the Healthy living 00:10.920 --> 00:13.200 Siri's I'm chaplain Brad Lewis from the 00:13.200 --> 00:15.256 Religious Support Office . And today 00:15.256 --> 00:16.867 we're gonna be talking about 00:16.867 --> 00:20.190 spiritually health . So the first 00:20.190 --> 00:22.079 question we need to ask is , Does 00:22.079 --> 00:24.290 spiritually health matter ? The short 00:24.290 --> 00:27.040 answer to that is , yes , it matters in 00:27.050 --> 00:29.300 the same way that belonging to the Army 00:29.310 --> 00:31.421 being in the Army matters . It's part 00:31.421 --> 00:33.477 of allows us to be part of something 00:33.477 --> 00:35.254 bigger than ourselves , part of 00:35.254 --> 00:35.030 something that makes a difference in 00:35.030 --> 00:37.330 the world part of something that 00:37.510 --> 00:40.070 matters . But if we look a little bit 00:40.070 --> 00:42.300 deeper , we'll find that spiritual 00:42.300 --> 00:44.650 health has greater benefits to it . 00:44.650 --> 00:46.650 There is a mountain of research out 00:46.650 --> 00:48.872 there that demonstrates a positive link 00:48.872 --> 00:52.490 between people who are active and 00:52.490 --> 00:54.890 regular in the practice of their faith 00:54.900 --> 00:58.560 and increased mental , physical , 00:58.570 --> 01:02.140 social relational health . In 01:02.140 --> 01:04.850 fact , research shows that people that 01:04.850 --> 01:08.030 are active in their faith have arm or 01:08.030 --> 01:10.540 healthy in every area identified by the 01:10.540 --> 01:14.080 army as components of readiness , so it 01:14.080 --> 01:16.080 does matter . But this is not a new 01:16.080 --> 01:18.470 idea . First , Timothy , 48 says 01:18.480 --> 01:20.258 physical training is good , but 01:20.258 --> 01:22.202 training for godliness is better , 01:22.640 --> 01:24.960 offering benefits in this life and in 01:24.960 --> 01:27.550 the life to come . Okay , so if we're 01:27.550 --> 01:29.550 going to say that it's a benefit to 01:29.550 --> 01:31.494 practice your faith , the question 01:31.494 --> 01:33.550 becomes , How do you do that ? Where 01:33.550 --> 01:35.550 can you go to practice your faith ? 01:35.550 --> 01:37.439 Well , we hear that the Religious 01:37.439 --> 01:39.606 Support Office .
