Today, we are celebrating our 100th podcast episode by kicking off a new 3-part series on Mental Health. The series is called “State of Mind” and it’s based on our Spring Campaign Sermon Series at Parkway Fellowship of the same name.
Recent studies have determined that 1 in 4 people will experience or come into contact with someone who is experiencing a mental health challenge in their life. When a believer experiences a mental health challenge, 25% of the time they will share their mental health challenge with a pastor or small group leader first. Also, in recent years, the church has struggled with responding to this challenge and has often thrown up its arms as it struggles with responding. So we are going to wade into this topic by starting with the statement that will guide our conversation today, “It’s Ok, not to be OK.”
