Yesterday, Today, and The Next: Your Roadmap to Mental Wellness and Emotional Wellbeing

Yesterday, Today, and The Next: Your Roadmap to Mental Wellness and Emotional Wellbeing

By Emmylou Iman

Our life with God is not just what happens when we die. Our life with God starts now. Sadly, most people don't know it because they often live below or outside their God-given giftedness, disintegrated and/or disengaged in life, fragmented in their souls, and as try-hard false versions of themselves or others.
Partnering and walking with Jesus into the lives and stories of other people, I come alongside individuals and help them disentangle the lived human experience and help them repair and dismantle the broken and false narratives they carry so they live better and do their work well.
