Jonathon Ennis shares how God used hard lessons to teach him the foundational habits—what he calls the Evergreens of Wellness—needed for whole-person health: balance, community, sleep-eat-move, mental growth, emotional mastery, spiritual stimulation, and perseverance practice. He weaves personal stories of depression, rescue through Christ and community, a calling to emergency medical care, and the burnout that followed, showing why these practices are non-negotiable for lasting wellness. Next episodes will unpack each Evergreen in practical ways to help you live them out and stay rooted in faith, body, mind, heart, and spirit.

You'll get a short five-step task to assess one area of your wellness, identify patterns, and make one or two clear changes to keep progressing toward a life stewarded for God’s design.
