Created to be whole
We were created to be whole.
But what does being whole actually look like?
To understand that, we first have to look at the parts that make us who we are. There are five key areas that come together to form our whole self: physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, and relational.
We might be aware of some of these areas more than others, but each one plays a significant role in our daily lives. When even one area is neglected or under strain, we can feel “off” without always knowing why.
So how do we move toward wholeness?
It starts by recognizing that each area needs care and attention. Not all at once. That usually leads to overwhelm and burnout. Instead, begin with one area that feels manageable and take one small step forward. Growth happens through steady, intentional steps.
This month, we are going to walk through each of these five areas together. One at a time. We want to help you notice where you may need support or growth and offer simple tools and practical steps along the way.
When we look at wholeness through a biblical lens, we see a clear connection in Mark 12:30:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”
Loving God with our whole self means engaging every part of who we are.
Strength reflects the physical.
Mind reflects the mental.
Soul reflects the spiritual.
Heart reflects the emotional.
All of these directly shape how we relate to others. And if you keep reading, the very next verse makes that clear: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Wholeness is not just personal. It is relational.
We invite you to join us this month as we explore what it means to grow toward wholeness together. If you are struggling or simply need someone to talk to, reach out. You do not have to carry this alone.
Let’s start a conversation. Let’s break the stigma and shame that keeps us stuck. And let’s take one small step toward wholeness, together
