DESTINATION DECISIONS | Convo #3: Bad Habits or Good Health
The Family Disciple Me Podcast // Discipleship Starts With a Conversation
What if your daily habits are quietly deciding your destination—long before you ever notice the outcome?
In DESTINATION DECISIONS: Bad Habits or Good Health, we step into a Scripture that often surprises people: God cares about your body, not just your soul. Rooted in 3 John 1:2, this conversation explores the idea of life as a “prosperous journey” - - - one shaped by the small, repeated choices we make every day.
This episode doesn’t preach perfection or promote a one-size-fits-all health plan. Instead, it invites an honest look at how our habits—food, sleep, substances, sexuality, rest, and movement—either support the life God desires for us or slowly pull us off course. We talk candidly about how easy it is to squander good health through unexamined routines, and why Scripture consistently connects holiness, wisdom, and embodied living.
You’ll hear a real-life story of chronic health struggle that led to a humble pivot: fewer extremes, more prayer, and simple, sustainable habits practiced over time. From a short sugar fast that became a family rhythm to small changes that produced surprising clarity and consistency, this episode highlights how direction matters more than intensity.
We also name what must be held with care: not all illness is preventable, and suffering always deserves compassion, prayer, and community—not judgment. Still, God invites us to steward what He has given us, using His resources for both His glory and our good.
If you’re ready to take a gracious inventory—without shame—and make one small change that aligns your body and soul, this conversation is for you. Because every habit is a decision… and every decision leads somewhere.
