Shownotes

Have you noticed how much we reach for externals to manage ourselves now? A coffee to get through that meeting. A headache and we reach for medicine. A restless night and we pop a sleep gummy.

Once upon a time, our bodies did the work for us. Now it’s like we believe our bodies don’t know how. One in five adolescents and countless younger kids are using melatonin just to get a goodnight’s sleep.

We are the problem. We are so quick to fix our bodies with something external. What are we doing?

In this Anchor Point we explore:

  • Why we default to quick fixes for our bodies and minds
  • How our faith and design inform how our bodies should work
  • What it looks like to trust God with our bodily rhythms, not just patch them

Scripture (NIV):

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” — Matthew 6:33 (NIV)

💬 Want to talk about it more?

Where are you relying more on the quick fix than on the design God gave you?

What would it look like to pause, trust, and allow your body to respond as He created it to?
