What I gained when I left my religion, #7: better health

• Is there anything about how the church handles its affairs that would give the impression physical health should not be prioritized?

The hosts discuss item #7 from the time.com series, 'better health' — the writer's claim that leaving religion shifted priorities so physical health mattered more, illustrated with a mud run. The hosts largely find the basis of the claim weak, but grant a kernel of truth: churches can overemphasize the spiritual and intellectual at the expense of the physical, treating prayer and Bible study as sedentary activities while forgetting believers are physical people having a physical experience. One host coins 'keep the lard' as a riff on 'sell the nard, give it to the poor.'
