Foundations: Is the Term Holistic Biblical?

from Women Becoming Whole Hosted by Jaime Jacinto

In this episode of the Women Becoming Whole Podcast, Jaime Jacinto explores what the word holistic actually means, why some Christians are cautious about it, and how we can think about whole-person care through a biblical lens. In this episode, you’ll learn: • What the term “holistic” actually means • Why holistic doesn’t automatically mean New Age • How to discern whether a counseling or wellness approach aligns with Scripture • Why caring for the whole person can be consistent with a biblical worldview • The difference between understanding someone’s experience and making that experience the authority • How physical, emotional, relational, practical, and spiritual factors can help us understand what someone is experiencing • Why Scripture must remain the authority that guides our care Holistic tells us what we’re paying attention to. Biblical tells us what guides the care.
