WellBeing - Christian Veterinary Mission

"Go your way; your faith has made you well."
Mark 10:52 ESV

In the Gospel of Mark chapter 10, Jesus encounters a blind man, Bartimaeus, on the road from Jericho to Jerusalem. Bartimaeus asks Jesus for the recovery of his sight and Jesus replies, “Your faith has made you well.”

What did it mean for Bartimaeus’ faith to make him well? He had to learn to see himself differently. He had to learn how to participate in the community differently, and to work differently. He was no longer the blind beggar son of Timaeus. He had to learn what it meant to follow Jesus and be well.

After Jesus speaks to Bartimaeus, we learn that “immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.” As followers of Jesus today, we often forget that we, too, have been made well by our faith in Jesus. We, too, must learn to live differently, to see ourselves differently, to work differently, and to live in our community differently. We must learn what it means to be well.

Join us as we explore together what it means to be well physically, emotionally, relationally, vocationally, and spiritually through practices that are grounded in Scripture, honed by tradition, and supported by science.

Physical WellBeing

While there is much about our physical WellBeing that we are not able to control, we will focus on three powerful areas that do greatly impact our physical WellBeing - activity, nutrition, and sleep. Indeed, we eat, sleep, and move every day. Our WellBeing practices focus on our awareness and choice in these daily activities.

Emotional WellBeing

The first question that God asks in Scripture is, “Where are you?” Adam responds linking emotion to action, “I was afraid and I hid myself.” In our humanity, we spend much time afraid and hiding. Our emotions serve to remind us where we are. As we learn to be well, we can practice being where we are and knowing that this is exactly where God is waiting to meet us.

Relational WellBeing

We are created in the image and likeness of the God who exists in the eternal community of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As image bearers, we are designed to be in community. In our brokenness, we too often neglect or damage community. As we learn to be well together, we will look at the practices that build community and those that repair damaged community.

Vocational WellBeing

Paul writes to the church in Ephesus, “we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Eph 2:10). As we learn to be well, we will explore the practices that make us aware of the ways in which this calling or vocation is lived out in our occupation and profession.

Spiritual WellBeing

Faith is the beginning and end of our WellBeing. Our practices of spiritual WellBeing teach us to be aware of the presence of God, to know of ourselves in God, and to place our trust in God.
