Mental Health & Kindness // S3E9 It is amazing how many bonds we find between good mental health, kindness, and human connection. In this episode we begin by showing God as our creator, thereby God knows what is best for our health. Science uncovers what God already knew, and we make connections between Psychology and scripture.

We recognize too, that we live in a world of sin. In this world there is stress, hardships and real-life every day! Also, we learn behavior. In this episode Carrie Bock (host of "Hope for Anxiety and OCD" podcast), talks to us about anxiety, OCD, and church.

Mental Health is an important topic. We need more discussion around this as this is something that affects many many people. Our hope for this episode is that you will understand when it is ok to get help. Yes, we need to pray and yes we need to have faith in a God that can heal and comfort. We also know from our discussion with our friend Carrie that there is wisdom in seeking the right kind of help.
