What Is Soul Care and Why It Matters

“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” — 3 John 1:2 (NIV)

Let’s Be Honest for a Minute…

When was the last time you checked in on your soul?

Not your to-do list.

Not your deadlines.

Not your grocery list, your kid’s schedule, or the number of unread emails in your inbox.

I’m talking about the inner you.

The part that gets tired even when you’ve technically “rested.”

The part that quietly wonders, “Is there more than this?” while you’re checking off all the boxes.

If you’ve felt weary in a way that sleep can’t fix or stretched in a way self-care can’t soothe—you’re not alone.

And you’re not crazy.

You’re probably just overdue for some real soul care.

What Is Soul Care, Really?

Soul care isn’t a checklist or a luxury spa day (though I won’t say no to that either 😌).

True soul care is about spiritual alignment.

It’s creating space to reconnect with God.

To rest in His presence.

To reset your thoughts, your heart, and your pace.

It’s not about doing more.

It’s about becoming still long enough to receive what your soul truly needs.

Soul care looks like:

• Sitting still with God

• Surrendering control

• Immersing yourself in Scripture

• Realigning your thoughts with truth

• Creating margin to breathe, reflect, and respond in faith

Your soul doesn’t need more pressure. It needs more presence.

Why Soul Care Matters

When your soul is neglected, everything feels heavier.

You can be productive and still be parched.

You can be surrounded and still feel spiritually empty.

Jesus said in Matthew 16:26 (NIV): “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”

That’s not just about eternity—it’s about how we live now.

Are we building things while abandoning ourselves?

Are we chasing progress and losing peace?

Psalm 23:3 says: “He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.”

God wants to refresh you.

That’s His heart for you.

But you have to give Him the space to do it.

That’s why I created the Soul Care Challenge—an 8-week journey designed to help you reconnect with God and realign your heart, mind, and spirit.

Each week, we’ll gently walk through a different soul-nourishing theme:

💛 Week 1: Stillness & Surrender

💛 Week 2: The Power of Prayer

💛 Week 3: Mindset Renewal

💛 Week 4: Identity in Christ

💛 Week 5: Rhythms of Rest

💛 Week 6: Heart Detox

💛 Week 7: Living with Joy

💛 Week 8: Purposeful Living

This challenge is simple, powerful, and free to join. 🙌

It’s not about adding more to your plate.

It’s about creating room in your heart.

If your soul needs breathing room—this is your space.

Dear God, thank you for caring about the condition of my soul. Thank you that I don’t have to perform, achieve, or pretend to be close to you. Teach me to care for my inner man. Help me to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your peace. Lead me gently back to rest, truth, and the joy of being with you. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
