At Fitfish, a Christian well-being organization based in the UK, we believe that God cares about every area of our lives. There is nothing too small to bring before him, He wants us to have abundant life.
John 10:10 ‘The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.’
We live life to the fullest when we are serving out our purpose in Him:
Jeremiah 29:11: ‘For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’
By looking after our body, spirit and soul we are putting ourselves in the best position for God to work through us as our bodies are the home of God.
1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 ‘Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honour God with your bodies.’
As a team of Health Professionals (Doctors, Nutritionists, Coaches, Personal Trainers etc.) we know that God is not a killjoy; He knows the pressure that our body, spirit and soul will face in life (tiredness, stress, ageing, illness, injury, and more).
- It can be harder to hear from God when we are tired, stressed and worn down.
- It can be hard to value ourselves as God does when we feel rubbish about ourselves and also harder to love others.
- It can be hard to make space to listen when we feel overwhelmed and overburdened.
We want to be vibrant, energetic and passionate to run our best race so that Jesus can do what he wants through us.
We know that we can do anything we want with our body, spirit and soul but we also know that not everything is recommended!
1 Corinthians 10: 23 ’I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive.’
We need to make wise choices about what suits our body, spirit, and soul so that we can live our best life. We want freedom and balance in this area and we want to support others with this too.
JOIN US ONLINE
At Fitfish we have a large online community for support and encouragement, regular insightful videos and blogs about all kinds of topics.
For those who want to become members, we have online exercise and recipe packs and the popular Healthy, Whole & Free Course which supports Christians to break free from dieting and get healthier in a natural and balanced way.
Hundreds have passed through this course and here are some thoughts from a couple of them:
“I have incorporated changes to my diet and lifestyle that have improved my health, fitness and relationship with God. By just committing to turning up and implementing the advice given my health continues to improve. My strength, fitness, energy levels, mental health and sleep have improved! I can now tie my shoelaces again and my Diabetes diagnosis has been reversed!” - Caroline
“The difference Healthy, Whole & Free has made to me has been really significant and fulfilled my hopes for lasting change. On holiday I loved knowing I was lighter and healthier and felt so much better about myself. Usually, we really overeat on that sort of holiday but this time we were able to have sensible quantities of treats, and even exercised together 6 times in the fortnight in our hotel room! All of this would have been unthinkable a year ago! Many thanks to you and of course all praise to God!” -Gill
JOIN US AT OUR RETREATS
We also run retreats which enable Christians to step away from their normal surroundings and experience a programme of worship, talks, workshops, exercise, prayer, 1:1 consultations, great food, company and surroundings.
Here are some comments:
“I return home tired but happy and healthier”
“The retreat reminded me that in all situations God is there. Pause. Praise. Pray!”
“I love the holistic experience that helps me to focus on my mind, body and spirit.”
“An amazing experience that everyone should try”
“Fitfish has been instrumental in helping me get fit and eat more healthily”.
“Fitfish weekends are always brilliant. God knows what we need and the team are brilliant at helping us receive it!”
We are incredibly blessed to serve God in this way and witness what He is doing in people’s lives through Fitfish.
