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.
