Daily Bread for Body & Soul: Introducing Bible Health Daily | Dr. Z

[00:00:01] Dr. Z new: Hey friends, this is Dr. Eric Zielinski. Most people just call me Dr. Z. Welcome to the Natural Living Family Podcast. 

[00:00:07] Together we’ll uncover biblical wisdom and practical tools to help you and your family escape the confusion of this toxic world and walk in the abundant life God has promised. This isn’t about chasing trends or doing it all. It’s about renewing your mind, rejecting broken systems, and embracing God’s design for healing and wholeness.

[00:00:28] The truth is God has a beautiful plan for your life, and yes, your health matters to Him. Are you ready to get started? Awesome. Let’s dive in.

[00:00:38] Hey y’all. Welcome back to the Natural Living Family Podcast. Mama Z and I are grateful, absolutely thrilled that you’re here with us week after week. And if you’ve been following along, you know that we took a little bit of a break from recording new episodes after COVID shut everything down. And a few months ago, we relaunched the show by featuring interviews from our favorite health experts and Christian influencers.

[00:00:58] Today’s episode’s a little different. I’m making a special announcement, actually two announcements about some things that are new and exciting, and I just can’t wait to share ’em with you. ,

[00:01:07] First off, we’ve heard from so many of you over the years that, , a weekly podcast is helpful, but sometimes you just need a little daily encouragement, you know, like a short reminder to keep going, to keep trusting, and keep making healthy choices that honor God’s design.

[00:01:23] And to be transparent, we felt the same. Life can get overwhelming between raising our family of nine and managing life’s challenges and simply just navigating today’s world. We have found that a small daily dose of God’s word is what helps us stay anchored and strong.

[00:01:40] And that’s why I’m thrilled to announce something new. Bible Health Daily is a short three to four minute devotional podcast designed to give you daily bread for your body and your soul. Each episode brings a verse from scripture, a short reflection and a simple, practical takeaway for your health and for your faith. Think of it as like a reset button for your day, whether you listen while making breakfast or driving to work or winding down before bed.

[00:02:06] And here’s something else we’ve added that I’m really excited about. Along with our weekly Natural Living Family podcast episode, we will now be releasing a second shorter episode at the beginning of each week. This will be a quick Bible health tip, something that you could put into practice right away to set the tone for the entire week. And this is where Mama Z will be joining us on a regular basis to answer your questions about faith, family, and do it yourself natural living.

[00:02:35] So now you’ll have two touch points with us each week here on the Natural Living Family Podcast; one full length conversation, and one short practical Bible health episode to get you starting your week strong.

[00:02:48] Now, before sign off, I feel led to be transparent with you for just a quick moment. So God put it on my heart over a year ago to start doing these Daily Devos. But, I’ll confess, I dragged my feet. Life got busy. Life got overwhelming for me.

[00:03:05] At the time, raising six kids, expecting baby number seven and juggling ministry and business responsibilities was just too much. And if you heard our welcome back episode back in May, you got just a little taste of , some of the other struggles that we were facing and have been facing the last two years.

[00:03:25] But between us, that’s no excuse. I let those things keep me from obeying the Lord.

[00:03:31] And now that I’m fully engaged with creating these daily devoes, I see why God told me to record them last year. Because I need them as much as you. Praise the Lord. God is so faithful. I mean, thank God He kept reminding me that we all need this daily encouragement. And He kept stirring my heart to finally step out and do this.

[00:03:51] And as I read each devo, I’m being so ministered to, I’m being encouraged. I’m being built up and to be real with you, I could have used this last year when I was in the thick of really the most challenging season of my life. And for sure the most challenging season that Mama Z and I have dealt with since we got married 19 years ago.

[00:04:13] So Bible Health Daily is more than just a new show. It’s not just a podcast. It’s me walking in obedience to what the Lord told me to do. And it’s me being ministered to, with you, by the Holy Spirit. And I believe God has something really special in store for all of us as we journey every day together through His word.

[00:04:31] Here’s my invitation. Please subscribe to Bible Health Daily. I’ll put the link in the show notes. Okay, so you got that, easy peasy.

[00:04:37] If you’d like them in written form, you could go to biblehealth.com/dailydevo, and you can also sign up there to get them delivered to your inbox every morning for free. It’s my gift to you. And please share this with a loved one who needs some encouragement right now.

[00:04:52] Trust me, we are the sum of our daily habits, and making this a daily habit will make a huge difference in your health, their health, and all of our lives.

[00:05:02] Quick. So here’s a quick recap. We’ll continue to release new episodes of the Natural Living Family Podcast, just like always. We’ll be interviewing health experts and Christian influencers, and you’re gonna love it.

[00:05:13] And now, you can also get a short beginning of the week Bible health tip here, plus daily encouragement through Bible Health Daily.
