Hour 1: Shhh...Mental Illness

Join Dawn and Steve in the Morning for a devotional from Blackaby Ministries International about putting our brother first.

Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.   1 Corinthians 10:24

In addition, K.T. Griffiths has so much to share about mental illness from a parent's perspective. Listen as she tells us how a caregiver can offer support to a loved one who is struggling. She has written a helpful resource titled Shhh...Mental Illness, The Silent Disease: A Mother's Heart.

K. T. Griffiths offers her first book, a memoir, to all those who face the realities of life and parenting. As a mother of 6 children, she has been tried and tested in so many ways that this book became a necessity. People know her for her wisdom, honesty, and authentic empathy for the plight of others. It is exactly this trait that has equipped her in this book to introduce you to the chaos of the mind amidst life’s relational struggles and emerge stronger than before.
