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.
