Summary

Please click HERE to fill out our listener survey I think it's so important that we take the time to do a check in and ask ourselves how we're REALLY doing. We are on the fourth of a five-week of CHECKING IN...Are You Really OK? Over the month of January, we're taking the time to check in on our emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical health - and learn how they all work together. Healing is holistic, and we can't fixate on one aspect of health all while neglecting the others. This podcast series "Checking In" will help you come up with a plan for how we're going to thrive and get healthy this coming year. If you haven't yet, grab yourself a copy of my book Are You Really OK? and read along with us as we go through these four important areas of health! And maybe you'll find out that you're not as healthy as you think you are - and it's time to do something about it. Today we're talking about the importance of checking in with our mental health and the different components that impact our mental health, including our life, events and stressors, past trauma, and physical chemistry. Just because you're a Christian, doesn't mean you are immune to the struggles of depression, anxiety, and mental health. In this episode, we will talk about mental health, and the best ways to treat mental health struggles.

1:50.5	struggle of mental health and the battle that comes with that. And I truly believe it's something
1:56.3	that we don't talk about enough in the church at large. So I hope to kind of reveal a little bit of that
