Soul Care Practices & Restorative Experiences
God says, “be still” while the world says, “hurry and hustle up.”
God says, “trust and surrender,” while the world says, “hold those reigns a little tighter.”
God says, “rest and be refreshed by streams of living water,” while the world says, “rest is over-rated and a waste of time.”
God says, “follow Me and build My kingdom,” while the world says, “gather more followers and build your own kingdom.”
God’s way is the only way that works, and soul care practices take us on a Spirit-led journey closer to God and the person God created us to be.

Soul Care FAQ’s
-
The “SOUL” is the hidden or “spiritual” side of a person that will outlive the body- and it is so much more!
The soul is also: your essence, the real you. Where the question of who God is an who we are is answered. The force that animates us- the living water that gives us life. The sacred spot where God is known and we are known. The container that holds the fullness of our true identity.
The place where God, and God alone, seeks to reside; and we can say yes, or no thank you.
The soul is wrapped and embodied by our flesh, which means that we are a holistic and dynamic being. We can’t truly separate one part of us from the other.
The soul affects the body from the inside out, and the body affects the soul from the outside in.
“You don’t have a soul, you are a soul. You have a body.” - C.S. Lewis
“CARE” is the intentional practice of giving attention, grace, love and foster resiliency.
With these two definitions in mind, soul care, is the intentional practice of giving love and attention to the truest part of who we are- the place that not only holds our hearts, minds & bodies together, but also connects us to God.
-
Our soul is given to us by God. As Christ-followers, we are called to know how to care for our own souls and to help shepherd and attend to the souls of others.
The care of the soul may be the only area of life that we are allowed to be selfish in. Sometimes in saying “no” to things in our lives, we are actually saying “yes” to our souls.
The state of our soul matters. It not only affects our overall wellbeing, but the health of our souls affects the wellbeing of our families and our communities.
-
Self-care is when you prioritize, and practice routines that replenish and restore yourself physically and externally whereas soul-care is when one prioritizes their mind and spirit while tapping into resources, routines, and rituals that help them maintain emotional and spiritual wellness internally.
The soul affects the body from the inside out, and the body affects the soul from the outside in.
Both are important.
-
The best way to care for your soul is to nurture your relationship with Christ.
If our souls are going to grow, we must accept responsibility to collaborate with the Holy Spirit to develop them- not with the intention of becoming a better version of ourselves, but rather a more accurate reflection of Jesus.
That’s the goal.
This will require us to create spiritual priorities that may come at a cost.
When we prioritize intimacy with Christ, we will most likely have to say goodbye to things we are more attached to. And when we do, we will taste, feel, and see the renewal of our souls.
The best way to nurture your relationship with Jesus is to engage in intentional Spiritual Practices.
Spiritual Practices are medicine for our souls. They are practices that help us “un-hurry” our souls before God.
They are practices that increase the strength of our character and the health of our souls- kind of like what exercise is for the body.
There are lots of great soul care/spiritual practices out there.
What you do is not the critical point. An effective spiritual practice is “any act that you do that allows you to feel God’s presence.” - James Finely.
Time to healing nurture your soul is made, not found.
