Helping Healing Humor with Ben and Travis

By Travis Creasy

Did you know that a 2018 Lifeway study showed that 49% of ministers say they never talk to their churches about mental illness? The same study found that 59% of Christians suffering from mental illness said that they wanted their church leaders to speak more openly on the subject. We strive to normalize the discussion about mental health among Christians. Ben, a licensed professional counselor, also provides valuable insight for the family members and friends of those who suffer from mental illness to help their loved one during their time of need.

It’s a challenge for both body and soul. Starting Monday, June 1st For 30 days: 30 sit-ups every day 30 push-ups every day 30 miles walked/hiked/ran over the course of the 30 days Read at least one chapter of the Bible every day. Share one inspirational verse from Scripture on your wall for 30 days. At the end of the 30 days we are going to schedule a day to do a Batify 5K (3.1 miles) that we will donate the proceeds of registration to a charitable cause. The 5k may be a virtual 5k but more details will follow soon.

This is simply to help encourage and motivate others and track your progress. No shaming or discouragement will be tolerated. https://www.facebook.com/groups/253546762623513/
