With a one minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

The decreasing quality of mental and emotional health, particularly for young people across all

parts of the West, comes despite the dramatic increase in mental health and counseling resources over recent decades.

And as it turns out, one real solution to the whole thing was staring us in the face all along.

When your grandmother told you to get to church, maybe she was right.

According to a new report published by the Institute for Family Studies,

quote, evidence suggests religious involvement may have even more profound health effects

for adolescents than for adulthood with far-reaching

implications across the life course. Some of this of course is due to the

secondary effects of a religious life like connecting to a community in the

sense of being part of something bigger than just you in this moment.

But those beneficial side effects point to something deeper.

Going to church is healthier because it's how we were designed to live in light of a higher

order that actually exist,

and in fellowship with others that we actually need.
