Avoiding Wellness Idolatry: Finding Balance in Your Crunchy Christian Journey

Send us a Message!

In this episode of Crunchy Stewardship, the hosts discuss how easy it is to let health and “crunchy” living shift from good stewardship into idolatry, especially when fear, anxiety, judgment of others, or rigid control replaces peace in Christ. Chrissy shares a “random revelation” about how birthing positions shifted historically from upright to lying on the back, including a popular legend involving King Louis XIV and the convenience it created for doctors. They offer practical ways to assess whether wellness has become an idol—what you spend your time and money on, whether it produces fruits of the Spirit, and how you respond when plans are disrupted or you’re offered processed food. They encourage grace, gratitude, and prayerful surrender, emphasizing that bodily training has value, but godliness matters more (1 Timothy 4:8).
