Are you or someone you love struggling with mental health? You are not alone! Past trauma, the pandemic, current trauma, and abuse are a few of the major contributors to our mental health. Even burnout and over-exertion can cause our mental health to crumble. God cares about you and your mental health. Check out this teaching series called Peace of Mind where we examine what the Bible says about our mental health. See the list of professional counselors in our list below or simply send us an email to make contact with one of our pastors.

Part 6: As A Man Thinketh (Negative Thoughts)
The great King Solomon once said, “Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.” He wasn’t wrong! But Scripture also promises that we have incredible power over our thoughts. This week we tackle the battle against negative thinking.

Part 7: Burnout Sucks
