How Church Could (Literally) Save Your Life

Bestselling Author Rebecca McLaughlin Presents Evidence That Church Could Be the Greatest Life Hack for Your Mental and Physical Well-Being People are hungry for the latest wellness secret to improve their physical and mental health and extend their life expectancy. But one of the most evidence-based practices to boost your health and happiness is hidden in plain sight. It‘s not a new-age trend, a superfood, or an expensive, recently released pill. It‘s the age-old practice of attending church each week.
