  <description>This week we sit down with Rosario Davidson, a licensed Physician Assistant here in the City of Elizabeth to discuss her journey into the medical field and what she has learned along the way. We learn how, when she was in high school, she had no interest in the medical field or any of the sciences at all. She had a very different interest, but different things in her life drastically shifted what she would study in college and where she would end up afterwards.
She shares some medical stories of things she has seen and experienced, including some of her own personal medical stories and how knowing how medicine and the human body work affected how she processed those things. 
She and Elliott also discuss how she views the biblical concept of healing while working within the art of medicine and how her faith helps her to relate to and help her patients.
This is Rosario Davidson's story.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Many of us are focused on our health. Most of the time, when we think of the word "health," we think of it in a purely phisiological way. But our mental health is just as important for our well being as our physical health is.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This week, Elliott sits down with Samantha Ariza to discuss mental health. Samantha is a mental health clinician as well as a college professor who works to help people deal with the mental health issues they are facing and counseling them in order to help them live their best lives possible. Elliott and Samantha talk about what mental health is, how counseling works, what she is able to do and not do as a clinician, and how we can get our mental health in check and balance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to her work as a mental health clinician, Samantha serves at Christ Fellowship in our worship band as a vocal worship leader. You've probably seen her on stage every Sunday. She also is a leader in The Bridge Youth Ministries, where she currently helps to run our Bridge: Downtown location. She has a been a member of Christ Fellowship since she was a teenager.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is Samantha Ariza's story.&lt;/p&gt;

    <![CDATA[<p>Many of us are focused on our health. Most of the time, when we think of the word &quot;health,&quot; we think of it in a purely phisiological way. But our mental health is just as important for our well being as our physical health is.</p>

<p>This week, Elliott sits down with Samantha Ariza to discuss mental health. Samantha is a mental health clinician as well as a college professor who works to help people deal with the mental health issues they are facing and counseling them in order to help them live their best lives possible. Elliott and Samantha talk about what mental health is, how counseling works, what she is able to do and not do as a clinician, and how we can get our mental health in check and balance.</p>

<p>In addition to her work as a mental health clinician, Samantha serves at Christ Fellowship in our worship band as a vocal worship leader. You&#39;ve probably seen her on stage every Sunday. She also is a leader in The Bridge Youth Ministries, where she currently helps to run our Bridge: Downtown location. She has a been a member of Christ Fellowship since she was a teenager.</p>

<p>This is Samantha Ariza&#39;s story.</p>

  <description>Sonia Joseph has been a part of the Christ Fellowship community for over ten years. In the past, she has served in our youth ministry, with our women's ministry, and is currently on stage every Sunday playing keyboard in our worship band. Outside of the church, she is also a middle school Science teacher in the city. Recently, she became a certified nutritionist and started her own business.
This week, Elliott sits down with Sonia to hear her story about how she first got interested in health and wellness and what her journey was like as she learned how to get her own life in check. She shares the importance of nutrition and how that fuels you for exercise and how to create a sustainable balance that will keep you going for the long haul to achieve your goals. She also shares how what you eat can ultimately influence how disease could affect your life. 
We discuss Sonia's latest business venture, Woman InTune, and how she is using what she has learned to help other women achieve their health and wellness goal and how her experience at Christ Fellowship helped influence the name of the company.
This is Sonia Joseph's story.
