Mental Health May 2024 – Perfect Peace

Today is May 1, “May Day.” Not only is it a day of political and religious significance, the phrase itself is a radio term designed to signal distress. If you don’t know, the month of May in the United States is known as “Mental Health Awareness” Month, so for the next few weeks we are going to take a look at the topic of mental health and, specifically, how Christian faith addresses mental health. Today, we look at the words of the Hebrew prophet Isaiah (26:3). He writes that God will “keep in perfect peace the one whose mind is steadfast…” We look at aspects of steadfastness and trust and how these impact one’s mental health and resilience. From the Touchline is a short-feature (10-15 min) podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. Rev Brad and occasional guests touch on various issues around the topics of faith, family, and football (soccer). Also, don’t forget that you can listen in our app, SoccrChapUtd, in the Apple and Google store.
