In July 2025, Medi-Share launched its new Biblical Wellness Portal for all Medi-Share Complete Members. This is an important tool meant to provide our members with a way to live out health in everyday life.
This brand-new resource with regularly updated content is designed for consistent use and engagement to support members throughout their health journey. For some, however, this can be a challenge due to the busyness of life and limited free time. We will discuss some of the key resources that will help you make the most of your time on the portal and see it translate into quick wins that can bring lasting change!
A key feature of the portal is the wellness challenges, and there are many to choose from! Wellness challenges tap into the brain’s reward pathways by offering frequent wins, social encouragement, and visible progress, which reinforce confidence and make healthy actions more enjoyable. Behavior‑change science further demonstrates that challenges add novelty and structure, helping individuals anticipate obstacles and practice new habits in a supportive environment. Over time, this repeated cycle of action, feedback, and celebration strengthens intrinsic motivation, increases resilience, and makes new behaviors more likely to stick. When combined, these elements turn wellness challenges into a powerful catalyst for sustained lifestyle change and long‑term success.
A recently launched, brand new Weight Loss Challenge will help you accelerate your health journey, activate your challenge, analyze your results, and achieve lasting success.
Accelerate Your Health Journey
We are excited to introduce our newest challenge: Weight Loss Challenge! With over 70% of Americans struggling with their weight and weight-related health conditions, this unique challenge takes a whole health approach, going beyond just diet and exercise. It focuses on the root of why we engage in behaviors and identify how to build new habits to replace the old. By combining a devotional approach that centers on honoring God with our bodies and a reward-based challenge to keep you motivated, you can achieve lasting transformation. Each 2-week series includes:
-
-
- A devotion
- A key learning element
- A habit layering technique
- A tracker (s) for goal setting & accountability
-
As believers, we’re called to steward our bodies as gifts from God, using our strength and energy to serve Him and others. This challenge blends biblical encouragement, practical steps, and supportive accountability, so you can build consistency with grace (not guilt!).
Activate Your Wellness Challenge
Signing up for a wellness challenge is a powerful step towards achieving your health goals because it transforms good intentions into actionable habits within a structured framework. Challenges provide clear objectives, accountability, and motivation, which are essential for lasting behavior change. All while making the journey rewarding.
Even if you do not need to lose weight, the information you receive from the Weight Loss Challenge can still create a new perspective on healthy living. Register today by logging into the portal. (If 8 weeks is too long right now, join a 30-day challenge. If weight loss is not your primary focus, you can register for any challenge and maximize your goals like step tracking, sleep, strength training, and hydration.)
Analyze Your Opportunities
Engaging in a wellness challenge is more than just completing tasks, it’s an opportunity to gain insight into your habits and identify areas for growth. By tracking your actions, you create a clear picture of your daily routines and patterns. This visibility helps you pinpoint behaviors that support your health goals and those that may be holding you back. For example, when tracking your progress through a food log, people lose twice as much weight as those who don’t track. The Weight Loss Challenge will help you maximize a food log, including structured feedback along the way. There are opportunities to track your metrics and progression, which allows you to analyze trends and make informed adjustments. Research shows that consistent self-monitoring fosters mindfulness and accountability, turning abstract goals into tangible steps for improvement. Over time, this process not only highlights opportunities for change but also reinforces positive behaviors, making it easier to build sustainable habits that align with your long-term wellness objectives.
Achieve Lasting Results
Staying committed to a wellness challenge is essential for achieving lasting results like weight loss because consistency is the foundation of sustainable change. Research shows that weight loss success isn’t about quick fixes or perfection, but about maintaining steady, healthy habits over time. When you remain engaged in a challenge, you reinforce behaviors such as mindful eating, regular exercise, and tracking progress, which help create a lifestyle rather than a temporary phase. Commitment also builds resilience, enabling you to overcome setbacks and stay focused even when motivation dips. Studies confirm that structured accountability and commitment to strategies significantly improve weight loss outcomes and help prevent weight regain. In short, staying committed transforms short-term goals into long-term success, ensuring that healthy habits become second nature and your results last well beyond the challenge.
