The struggle is real, and it's time we talked about it.This powerful episode takes you through this pastor's journey from fear and despair, to resilience and restoration. We explore the alarming reality that, as per a 2020 Barna study, 54% of practicing Christians admit to facing emotional or relational mental health issues that impact their lives. And no, simply attending church isn't solving the problem. So, where does the solution lie? In this candid conversation, we highlight the path to restoration, the untapped strength within us, and the route to the better life Jesus promised. Do stay with us for an episode that's about providing strength and comfort to those feeling lost or alone.
