058 Faith & Mental Health

So guys we’ve spent the last few weeks talking about goal setting and making your dreams a reality and over the coming few weeks we are going to be shifting gears.  We will be talking more about having a healthy mind, because truthfully you can set all the goals you want, but if your mind isn’t healthy, it makes it harder (not impossible) for you to accomplish the things you want to achieve.  So today’s episode was prompted by the recent passing of Pastor Jarrid Wilson, who was the pastor of a megachurch in California, a mental health advocate, and even though he was a man of faith he struggled with depression and ultimately committed suicide.  So I want to discuss the misconceptions that many of us have about faith and spirituality and it’s relation to our mental health and so I hope to inspire you to seek help.
