Welcome to Havliss Podcast. I'm your host, Tabbla Kennington, and I'm really excited that you're here.

We are smack dab in the middle of our series called Faith and Mental Health.

And I did not actually plan on doing this series until, well, it was a couple of months ago, I was having a conversation with one of our third years. Now, third years in our world means that there's someone from around the world that have come to be a part of Bethel Church.

They've taken first and second year of Bethel's supernatural school of ministry and their third year they get an opportunity to hang out with a leader or someone in in this environment where they choose to serve and learn and we intern but not full intern it's more just a company and so we had three different ones come and be a part of our environment

Stephanie who's actually filming this and edits all of our videos. She's phenomenal. She's staying with us

and then Abby who was the Australian you guys got to meet her

She's home right now working on her visa to come back and and be with us and then we had Sarah and Sarah was an incredible woman.

She's had a full year.

She actually met the love of her life at the school

and married him at the end of this year.

But we had this big celebratory trip to Sacramento,

and on the trip, I had asked her,

we were having a conversation about her third year experience,

and she posed a question.

And when Sarah poses a question,

I always lean in because it means she's been thinking about something and she said,

Have you ever thought about doing a series on mental health for your podcast?

And when she said it, I really had to go back and realize I really hadn't done a full series on this.

And it just has come so far in my life from being diagnosed with post-part and depression,

to being an advocate for getting help and medication.

And now in this season of really just going,

okay, we have these conversations that still need to happen.
