Weimar University

David Shinn.

He's a religion teacher up at Weimar University.

He's one of my friends, and he was giving a sermon and he was talking about this point and he was making an illustration with respect to the marriage that he has with his wife.

And he's like, what would my marriage be like if I come home from work and my wife's had a tough day with the kids and she's tired and she says, hey, can you wash the dishes? And my response is, I don't really want to wash the dishes.

And I think that's a unique aspect that I tout when I talk about this principle of new start, N-E-W-S-T-A-R-T, which stands for all of these things that strengthen all of the links.

By the way, a mnemonic that was coined at Weimar University many years ago when they started looking at this.

So the mnemonic is N for nutrition, E for exercise, W for water, and then S for sunlight, T for temperance, which is an old word that is used for abstaining from toxic substances like alcohol, smoking, things of that nature.

And then air, fresh air, rest.

What would you say to that person? I'm your host, Dr.

David Shin, and welcome to Here We Stand, a Weimar University podcast where we tackle real issues with biblical conviction, truth over trends, evidence over noise, and scripture over opinion in a culture of compromise.

Here we stand.

Today I'm excited to welcome back Dr. Roger Schwelt.

He teaches at both UC Riverside School of Medicine and Loma Linda University.

And he's also the co-founder of MedCram, a medical educational platform that has helped millions of people understand the science behind health and medicine.

He also serves as a member of the Weimar University Board of Trustees.

Dr. Schwelt, thank you for your willingness to serve Weimar's mission.

And basically, those have been put together in a nice mnemonic we call New Start.

Weimar University sort of copyrighted those, but they haven't copyrighted the actual implementation of those things.

But if you go through New Start, N is nutrition, E is exercise, W is water, and S is sunlight.

T is temperance.
