Hour 1: Mental Health For Ministry
Poor mental and emotional health are two of the great crises of our times, and yet most pastors and ministry leaders are not adequately trained or equipped to understand and come alongside the hurting. As a result, our efforts to help those who are wrestling with mental or emotional health struggles are at best inadequate and at worst harmful. Dr. Mark Mayfield will join us to help identify the symptoms of particular mental and emotional health challenges and learn how to express love and support to those who are hurting.
Hour 2: Bending To The Culture
Joe Dallas joins us again to take your questions on one of the biggest issues dividing the Church. Why are so many churches bending their knee to the cultural demands of accepting and affirming homosexuality? Has God changed His mind on this issue? Is the Bible one of those “that was then, this is now” books? Is there such a thing as a ‘gay’ Christian? Call in early because the phones with light up with questions. Get ready to put on your biblical thinking cap.
