#6 Heal the Sick
from Purpose and Perseverance Podcast Hosted by Deacon Brad Watkins
Jesus sends out his disciples to "heal the sick." Given that 88% of Americans are metabolically sick - preventable and curable illness - why do we, the Church, say and do next to nothing to address this widespread epidemic? I have some thoughts. I should have made clear that I am aware that there is no single organization in the world that has done more to help the sick over time, on a global scale, than the Catholic Church. Still, we seem to ignore that Jesus and the Apostles were about taking care of the mind and body, not just the soul. I think that needs to change. We can and should do more to help people live better lives. Two people who are trying to address what I'm talking about (among others): Chase Crouse with Hypurofit: https://www.hypurofit.org You can follow him on Instagram as well: https://www.instagram.com/coach.chasecrouse/ Matthew Gay's book, Fit Church: https://tinyurl.com/425d5dvk Matthew's website: https://www.fitchurchunited.com Matthew's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitchurchunited/ Oh, and my Instagram if you want to reach out via DM: https://www.instagram.com/deacon.brad.watkins/
