Thank you for your comment. Healthy eating, exercise and regular personal Bible study are key to spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health, to be sure. A healthier group of pastors and teachers would mean lower health insurance costs for congregations. That is why Concordia Plan Services works with many entities across Synod to encourage healthier approaches to life and to ministry.
