Hey y’all, and happy Memorial Day.

Grab your matcha and let’s catch up. :)

The Hardest Kind of Evangelism There Is
Dr. Z here.
I need to tell you something I have carried for a long time. At the heart of everything we do at Bible Health is something I have come to call “health evangelism.”
Yes, we admit, we are trying to help convert believers into healthy Christians. And that’s pretty hard.
Why is it hard?
Because Christians quote Greek philosophy like it’s Scripture.
Because Christian families are buying the devil’s groceries.
Because Christians were never taught a health framework by their pastors.
Because Christians are as sick as everyone else and no one is talking about it.
And… we have found that exposing a truth spotlight on these 5 lies is the key to freedom from all of this (from our recent live recording).
That is the whole mission. And the strange thing is that the resistance we run into looks almost exactly like the resistance a street preacher meets sharing the gospel with someone who does not want to hear it. The eye rolls. The jokes. The theological objections designed to end the conversation. We are pleading with our brothers and sisters to care for the bodies God gave them, and we get the same pushback a man on the corner gets for talking about Jesus.
That realization changed how I see everything. We are not just handing out health tips. We are evangelizing inside the church, and that is one of the hardest forms of evangelism there is.
I learned what real evangelism looks like from my mentor, Enoch.
He is 83 years old, on zero medications and zero supplements, and he is healthier than just about anyone I know. Years ago he sold what he had and left the country for seven years with no organization and no funding, just him and sharing Jesus with thousands of people in 40 countries , and I have watched him lead people to Christ at the gas pump, in the grocery aisle, and on our own front porch.
Enoch led me to the Lord on March 16, 2003, and nothing in my life has been the same since.
“Papa Enoch” to the kids, Enoch has been a part of my family since I met him 23 years ago. He stood up at my wedding, we spend Holidays with him and he’s been such a powerful example of what a Man of God should be for me as I strive to be my very best as: father, husband, friend and disciple of Christ.
For years I assumed I was supposed to do exactly what Enoch does. Cold conversations, share Jesus with everyone I met, and for years I felt guilty that it never fit, because the truth is I am a deep introvert.
I am the one having a single long conversation in the corner while Mama Z lights up the whole room. Then God showed me something simple. My gift is different. My evangelism is different. But it is no less real. Paul planted, Apollos watered, and God gave the growth. We need people who teach prayer, and people who teach marriage, and people who teach money, and we need a few of us who teach Christians how to steward the temple. That is my lane. It is what God put in my hands.
Here is the part I need every believer to hear.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” — Ephesians 6:12
The devil cannot steal your salvation. He lost that battle at the cross. But if he can make you sick, exhausted, foggy, inflamed, and depleted, he can sideline you, and a sidelined believer is no threat to his kingdom.
A tired church cannot evangelize. A depleted pastor cannot preach with power. A mother running on fumes cannot disciple her children with patience. The enemy does not need to destroy you. He only needs to wear you down until there is nothing left to give. For far too many of God’s people that is exactly what has happened, and most of them have no idea it was ever a fight.
This is why we never treat any of this as a diet trend or a product pitch. This is a Bible health revival, and the healing of our land starts with the healing of God’s people, our bodies and our homes included. We are in our late forties with decades of ministry ahead of us, Lord willing, and it feels like we are only getting started. If something in you is stirring as you read this, that is not an accident. That is the invitation. We would love nothing more than to lock arms with you.
Before we get into everything we published this week, here is a word for your Monday.
Join the mission. Share Bible Health with someone who needs it.
YOUR DAILY MANNA
“Then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.” — Genesis 2:7
Before Adam had a heartbeat, he had a breath, and it was God’s own breath that made him a living soul. We do not think about breathing. It happens around twenty thousand times a day without a single decision from us, which is exactly why it is so easy to forget that every one of those breaths is either carrying something clean into the body God gave us or something harmful.
There is a quiet dignity in that. The same Lord who knit your lungs together still fills them, moment by moment, whether you notice or not. Breath is the first gift and the most constant one, the thing we cannot live more than a few minutes without, and the thing we pay the least attention to.
So this week, pay attention to one breath. Walk into the room where you sleep, the place you draw nearly a third of your life’s air, and ask whether the things filling it are worthy of a temple God Himself breathed into. You do not have to fix everything today. Just notice. Stewardship almost always starts with noticing.
He gave you the breath. Guard what rides in on it.
Christians don’t need more health trends; we need Biblical clarity.
Bible Health isn’t about perfect diets or complicated protocols. It’s about doing your best to honor God with the body He gave you. And the side effects are wonderful! If that feels right to you, come join us.
WHAT WE PUBLISHED THIS WEEK
Here is everything we shipped on Bible Health since Monday Manna #5, plus three of our favorite tips from Natural Living Family.
1. The Fragrance Lie Christian Mothers Trusted for 50 Years
This might be the most important thing we published all year. For 50 years Christian mothers were taught that a fragranced home is a loved home, and almost nobody told us that one word on the label, “fragrance,” is legally allowed to hide thousands of undisclosed chemicals. We walk through why the cleanest-smelling homes are often the most polluted, why fragrance is an obesogen your body already knows how to fight, and the one room to start clearing tonight. It is free, and it is the one to send to every mother you love.
2. Essential Oils Made Simple: Watch the Free Webinar Replay
For 15 years people have asked us why we call essential oils God’s medicine, so we finally put the whole teaching in one place. This is the free preview of the masterclass that has helped more than 500,000 families learn what essential oils actually are, why purity matters, and how to use them safely without getting overwhelmed. Subscribers members get the full 3-hour replay, the printable workbook, the live Q&A, and two bonus masterclass lessons. If the fragrance article above convicts you to clear the air in your home, this is where you learn what to reach for instead.
2. [LIVE] Week 1: 41-Day Metabolic Makeover
The first Wednesday of our six-week discipleship walk. We named what actually broke your metabolism, why so few American adults are truly metabolically healthy, and the one question that reorders everything: who has been discipling your habits? Founding and Inner Circle members, your replay and your Week 1 workbook are waiting in your portal right now. If you are not in yet, this is a peek at what is happening behind the door.
FROM NATURAL LIVING FAMILY
Over on Natural Living Family this week, while Bible Health made the case for clearing the air, we were busy teaching the how. That is how our two publications work together: Bible Health is where we teach the why, and Natural Living Family is where we hand you the recipe. Here are three swaps from the week that land right where the fragrance conversation leaves off.
1. DIY Wool Dryer Balls Without Dryer Sheet Toxins
If your laundry still smells like “fresh linen” long after it leaves the dryer, that scent is the exact loophole the fragrance article warns about. We swapped the chemical dryer sheets for wool dryer balls and a few drops of lavender, and they cut static, soften everything, last over a thousand loads, and let you scent the wash with something God actually made.
2. DIY Heavy-Duty Cleaner for Real Messes
Memorial Day weekend means kid spills, grill grease, and the kind of messes that send most families reaching for the most heavily fragranced cleaner in the cabinet. We make our own heavy-duty version with vinegar, alcohol, citric acid, and a few essential oils, and we paired it this week with a full allergy-friendly cookout menu so the holiday table is as clean as the counters.
3. DIY Sleep Spray for Restless Nights
The fragrance article says to start with your bedroom, the air you breathe for a third of your life, so here is what to put back once the plug-in is gone. We blend lavender, cedarwood, and vetiver into a simple pillow spray that helps the body wind down at night without a single synthetic chemical riding along.
Natural Living Family is where we teach the practical version of everything we teach here on Bible Health.
Every week, we publish practical, Scripture-first teaching & DIY swaps that helps your family feel better today. Come join us.
SPOTLIGHT: A Better Hemp Oil - The “Next Generation” of CBD That You Can Feel...
Every try CBD before and didn’t feel much difference? This might explain why...
If your Memorial Day weekend has been full of travel, family gatherings, late nights, or just the emotional weight of remembering sacrifice, your body may be asking for a little extra calm.
That is one reason we have been talking about Soma Leaf’s Pure Hemp Oil.
A lot of people have tried CBD and felt almost nothing.
Sometimes the problem is not hemp itself.
The problem is quality, formulation, and whether the product actually contains the active plant compounds people are looking for.
Soma Leaf’s Pure Hemp Oil is a full-spectrum, THC-free hemp extract made with multiple cannabinoids, including CBD, CBDV, CBG, and THCV, designed to work together for a more complete hemp experience.
This is not generic hemp seed oil.
It is a broader hemp formula for people who want help maintaining calm, sleep quality, stress resilience, a healthy inflammatory response, and everyday balance.
And today’s offer is especially good.
Soma Leaf is giving Natural Living Family readers a Buy One, Get One Free special.
PLUS, we were able to add an exclusive BONUS just for our readers: a free non-toxic, aluminum-free whole body deodorant with bergamot and ginger.
It’s called Pure Hemp Oil, and it’s already being called “the next generation of CBD.”
In a clinical trial, participants saw:
42% drop in inflammation markers
185% improvement in deep sleep
88% reduction in stress levels
Up to 22 lbs. lost in 12 weeks
All from one daily dose.
That means you can try the hemp oil BOGO and get a cleaner personal care swap at the same time.
If you have been wanting a better hemp oil option, this is a smart time to try it.
More patience with your kids. Actually being present at dinner instead of crashing on the couch. A mind quiet enough to pray and the conviction to walk out the calling God put on your life. These are the “side effects” of Bible health. :)

P.S. Most CBD oils don’t work as people expect them to because they’re weak or poorly absorbed. This one’s different: it’s clinically tested, full-spectrum, and 100% THC-free. Thousands are sleeping deeper, feeling calmer, and seeing real changes in their blood work.
