Body and Soul
Hosted by Janet Taves, a registered nurse, and Jono Taves, a doctor of physical therapy, Body and Soul exists to inspire and equip believers to steward their whole lives—both physical and spiritual—with faithfulness and intention. Rooted in the truth that we belong, body and soul, in life and in death, to our faithful Savior Jesus Christ, this podcast explores how we can think biblically about our health and bodies in order to wisely number our days, live out the one anothers of scripture, and become wholeheartedly willing and ready to live for Christ in every season of life.

A Conversation with Mike Pitsenberger

What does it mean to honor God with your body — especially as you age or lead others in faith?
We’re grateful to kick off Season 2 with Rev. Michael Pitsenberger, whose life reflects the truth: “Only one life will soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.” His 3–4 mile morning prayer walks are one example of how he beautifully unites spiritual and physical devotion.
He talks about the habits, motivations, and biblical convictions that have kept him fit in both body and spirit. This conversation challenges and encourages pastors and believers alike to pursue stewardship for the glory of God.
In his own words:
“I have one earthly life to live for Jesus and then I go to heaven. There are no redos, no do-overs, no returns to the year before. So I live now with a heightened awareness that this single life we all have on earth will soon come to an end, and if we are Christians we want to maximize our potential and our gifts for the glory of the Lord.”
