Every church will have people that deal with mental illness in one way or another, so it is very important to create a safe environment for all people. How can this be done? Amy Simpson (our guest from Episode 60) provides a list of “15 Things Churches Can Do to Help with Mental Illness” (an excerpt from her book “Troubled Minds”). Even if you are not a leader in your specific church, this is an important conversation to have since the church in the truest sense is a collection of Christ followers, all of whom can do the things on this list.

Here are the 15 key points:
1. Get help if you’re struggling.
2. Tell your story.
3. Get educated.
4. Destigmatize.
5. Talk about mental illness.
6. Encourage relationships.
7. Ask what you can do to help.
8. Be present.
9. Radiate acceptance.
10. Be patient.
11. Help with practical needs.
12. Draw boundaries and stick to them.
13. Know when you are in over your head.
14. Use resources.
15. Start a support group.

It is an honour to welcome back Sathiya Sam to The Unspoken Conversation. Sathiya has recently created DEEP CLEAN; a coaching initiative with the goal of helping men transform their lives by overcoming porn using proven strategies.

So many men who struggle with pornography try internet filters, accountability partners, will power and other solutions that feel good. The result? Temporary relief, and then back in the hole of shame & isolation. Everyone else is treating the surface level issues, when the real problem is the roots. The next result? Broken relationships. Self-loathing. No confidence. Apathy. Boredom. Isolation. Loneliness. Depression. Hopelessness.

DEEP CLEAN focusses on the psychological, emotional, social and practical aspects of porn struggles. For more information check out SathiyaSam.com

What do you think of when you hear the word BROKEN? Do you feel the need to discard people and objects that appear BROKEN?

In the book “Blessed Broken Given” Dr. Glenn Packiam uses the analogy of bread to help readers explore how brokenness when put in the hands of God can be used for a hopeful and purposeful future.

Glenn serves as an Associate Senior Pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs where he leads their Downtown congregation. More information about Glenn can be found at GlennPackiam.com
