    Episode Notes

    Initial thoughts about mental health:
    • Limit the labels
    • A feeling of sadness does not equal depression
    • No one is immune to struggling with depression
      • This doesn't mean you don't have faith
    • Take steps toward health, just like you would for your heart or eyes
    • Connection is key — it has the ability to heal and influence the brain toward healing

    How do we set up our ministries to be ministries of connection (to be seen)?

    • Consistent training – this must be a first priority
    • Showing up – being present (the ministry of presence)
    • Make sure they are SEEN – and see beyond the behavior (how they feel)
    • Listen (tell me more)
    • Speak life
    • Build up grit in the next generation
      ***Every kid is one caring adult away from success
