Session 2: Wellness
First 24 hours after the Session:
- One of the benefits of being a living “Blue Zone” member is you have a unique way of handling stress – prayer. Be prepared to offer prayer during this session (just like any other session) but this time your audience is specifically asking to pray with an Adventist and may be responding so they can learn more about managing their stress by connecting with their Creator through prayer.
- Your guests may also respond to the offer of receiving Wellness Strategies. In this case, this is a generic call to action, you will need to read the comments to determine what type of resource your guest needs. One that we recommend is connecting your guests with these online resources from the award-winning TV show Lifestyle Magazine. Tips to help you live your best life possible!
You can connect your guests to the blog articles that can be found here or suggest they sign up to receive emailed weekly tips here.
1-2 Weeks after the Session:

Get Creative
Remember you are building relationships not just delivering an offer. Consider starting classes or schedule group gatherings based on the response you get on the topic of wellness. Some options that may work for your community are:
- Offer “Healthy Cooking Classes” at the church or via Zoom.
- Start a recipe “Swap Group” to help give ideas of healthy meals and tips for meal planning.
- Organize a “Meal Train” for someone interested in but intimidated to go vegetarian to show them how great it is to lean green!
Just make sure it is some type of group that actively gets together for hands on learning or engaging experiences to build relationships.
