Welcome to the Official Relaunch of the glorifyHimpodcast and the start of Season 2.

Mental illness plagues society with no discrimination of age. We hope to explore the seriousness and the validity of these challenges that many deal with.

Within Christianity, there is a view held which states, “Your faith can heal you all the time”. Does this mean we can pray mental illness away if we have enough faith? Is it a healthy view to carry or can it be toxic? What has God revealed to us regarding this? Today we dive into it all.

Mental health is a topic that definitely does not get talked about enough at church and I feel like especially with youth groups. I feel as if it's really important to educate the youths in church about all these mental health issues before they enter post secondary when there's just more stress and less time to really find connections with one another. There are many times when I say jokingly "this gives me so much ocd"and it has only been like the last couple years that I've stop saying it because I realized that ocd is a legitement mental health issue that should be taken seriously, so thank you Seth for speaking about that. Suicide is a huge theme that was mentioned by all of you and I'm so glad that you all brought it up because it's sad that suicidal thoughts are a thing, but it's in that moment when you stop and decide to not suicide, is when I feel like that's when God is really saving you at that moment and wants you to be saved by His grace and to use your story to help save others too.
