Stewardship of the Body: Why Preventative Care Matters

I’ve heard it called "spiritual procrastination." It’s the habit of ignoring a small health problem—like a slightly high A1C or rising blood pressure—because we think it isn't "urgent" enough to deal with. We assume that if it isn't hurting today, it must be fine. But in our walk of faith, we are called to be managers of our health before the crisis hits.

Preventative care isn't a luxury; it is a fundamental duty of stewardship.

The Cost of the "Wait and See" Method

If you wait until you have a heart attack to start managing your cholesterol, you haven't been a good manager of the body God gave you. According to CDC data, chronic diseases that are avoidable through early detection account for 75% of our nation's healthcare spending.

It is much easier (and cheaper) to maintain a building than it is to rebuild it after it collapses.

Medicine as a Preventative Tool

Many people view medication as a "last resort." They think they’ve failed if they have to start a pill. I want to flip that script. Starting a metabolic medication in your 40s to prevent a stroke in your 60s is a brilliant move. It is a strategic decision to preserve your ability to serve your family and your church for decades to come.

Accessing the Best Tools Early

The problem is that the best "preventative" medications—the ones with the fewest side effects—are often the most expensive. Insurance companies don't like paying for prevention; they'd rather wait for the crisis.

We do the opposite. We help you get those high-quality preventative tools for $40 a month. Don't wait for the building to crumble. Start your stewardship journey today.
