The Spafford Story and Soul Wellness Hymn (It is Well With My Soul 18:40) provides us with a clear picture of what Christian Soul Wellness is. GSCare takes a Global Christian perspective that transcends time and culture and emphasizes historical Christian unity. Rob Reimer's seven principles in his book Soul Care, illustrate this perspective. “These principles, when packaged together and lived out, can lead to lasting transformation, freedom, and a healthy soul.” https://renewalinternational.org/soul-care. This blog expands Reimer's Soul Care approach to other authors and resources.

Your identity in Christ is the foundation of a healthy soul. Who you are determines how you behave. What you believe about yourself influences your level of maturity, peace, and soul health.
Repentance
You must repent and receive the forgiveness of God in order to be free. Secrets rob you of soul health. When you confess, but still carry around shame in your soul, it is toxic to your well-being. It isn’t enough to know you are forgiven; you must experience release.
Breaking Family Sin Patterns
Family sin patterns have an unusual pull on your lives. They are hard to break. You must deal with them severely before they deal severely with you.
You need to forgive those who sin against you. The single greatest mark of maturity is the capacity to love your enemies. Bitter roots create weeds in the garden of your soul. They must be uprooted before you can be healthy
Healing Hurts
Unprocessed wounds leave you with festering soul sores. You need the healing presence of Jesus to free you from the ill effects of your soul wounds.
Overcoming Fears
The people of God make more mistakes in times of fear than any other time. This is why the number one command of scripture is “fear not.” You must overcome your fears to be spiritually healthy
Breaking Demonic Strongholds
We have a real spiritual enemy who can get a foothold in our lives. You need the power of God to free you from his grip and deliver you so that you can have a healthy soul
