Episode 6: Creating Hope

from Wounded City · host The Commercial Appeal

Reginald Johnson Jr. admits he’s not your typical former gang member. He was raised by two loving parents who provided he and his brother a stable home life. But still, Johnson joined a gang at 13. Today, he's given up that life after his brother, also a gang member, was murdered. And Johnson now says people who live that life are "idiots." His father, Reginald Sr., is still dealing with the emotions of losing a son, but has vowed to work in their Frayser neighborhood to find a route for kids to take instead of gang life.

Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
