The new year often jumpstarts people’s interest in healthy eating and exercise. But by the end of January, well intended resolutions fade. A Virginia church was host to an event to help women renew their passion for healthy living.
On January 27 and 28, 2023 Salem Baptist Church in Manakin Sabot, Virginia welcomed national speaker Annette Reeder, The Biblical Nutritionist for the Biblical Wellness Conference. Reeder, with over 238,000 followers on You Tube, anchored the conference, along with faith-focused fitness instructors from Body and Soul and worship music from Lark10.
Women’s ministry leader, Terri Scarola, said, “Annette was secured for this event because I trust she will use the Word of God to promote healthy lives. Her teachings are grounded on both science and Scripture. When I asked if she was going to share a list of rules, her response was encouraging.” Reader shared, “I never give anyone an ‘Eat This/Don’t Eat This’ list because ultimately, people’s beliefs affect their behaviors.”
Admission to the Biblical Wellness Conference was extremely affordable. The price included three food and fellowship times, an (optional) full aerobic workout with Body and Soul on Saturday morning, door prizes, and a healthy living swag bag.
Brad Bloom, Publisher of Faith & Fitness Magazine says, “I applaud the team of organizers for bringing this event together for the greater Richmond, Virginia community. This is the kind of education and fellowship that can easily be happening at churches throughout our country. It makes a difference in lives and demonstrates to the public the important and compassionate role Christians have in cities throughout America.”
