Summary

Over the next 8 weeks I’ll be having raw, open, and honest conversations with some of the top Christian leaders and teachers, asking them: are YOU really ok? This series comes in anticipation of my upcoming book, Are You Really OK?, challenging each and every one of us to get real about how we’re really doing. It takes courageous people to openly and publicly talk about their journey with mental and emotional health, but these are the exact conversations that begin taking down the stigma, paving the way for us to truly get real about how we’re doing as Christians. We’re opening this series with one of my favorite leaders….Pastor JP Pokluda. One thing that really sticks out to me about JP is his blunt and point-blank approach to life. For him, nothing is off limits to talk about. And nothing to dark for Jesus to shine his light. And this conversation is no different. I know this on-air session with him will challenge you. Be sure to listen to the end where I give a summary of our talk, as well as ways you can apply it to your own journey of getting healthy from the inside out and asking — Are YOU really OK? So sit back, and enjoy this vulnerable conversation with Pastor “JP” on the Are You Really OK? Podcast Series a part of the Love + Relationships Podcast with Debra Fileta. Now it’s your turn.
