What Is Spiritual Wellness? Finding Peace and Purpose with Jeff Lorimer of Orchard Community Church
Guest name: Jeff Lorimer
Business name: Orchard Community Church
What if the healthiest thing you could do this week wasn't another workout—but taking care of your soul?
We spend so much time talking about physical, mental, emotional, environmental, and financial wellness. But what about spiritual wellness?
In this episode, I'm joined by Jeff Lorimer, lead pastor of Orchard Community Church in Erie, Colorado, for an encouraging conversation about spiritual wellness, purpose, faith, and the daily habits that shape who we become.
Together, we explore why spiritual health is just as important as physical, mental, emotional, environmental, and financial wellness—and why caring for your soul can impact every area of your life.
Jeff shares practical wisdom about building healthy daily rhythms, finding community, overcoming anxiety and distractions, and discovering lasting peace through a relationship with God.
In this episode, we cover:
What spiritual wellness actually means
Why your soul deserves as much attention as your body
"You are not a body—you are a soul living in a body."
The coffee bean, carrot, and egg analogy for handling life's pressures
What the Fruits of the Spirit really mean
Why heart work is hard work
The dangers of doom scrolling, anxiety, and trying to fill the "God-shaped hole" with temporary things
Why community is essential for spiritual growth
Practical daily rhythms that strengthen your spiritual health
How to hear God's voice through Scripture, prayer, community, and life's circumstances
Helping children develop spiritual wellness from an early age
One of my favorite reminders from this conversation: "You are not a body. You are a soul living in a body."
Along the way, Jeff reminds us that spiritual wellness isn't about trying harder—it's about tending to the soil of our hearts so healthy fruit can grow.
This episode is your reminder that when we intentionally care for our spiritual health, it influences how we respond to stress, love others, find purpose, and navigate everyday life.
