Best Practice: Holy Mental Health with Ps Emma Schroeder

Listen Later

In today’s episode we’re talking best practices for young adult followers of Jesus, around mental health with Ps Emma Schroeder. Ps Jase & Em have been the senior pastors of C3 Hepburn Heights since 2012, have 3 teenagers, a little sheltie called ‘Bloss’ and a passion for Jesus & God’s people. We’re taking time to draw on some wisdom from Ps Em discussing the role of mental health in our spiritual formation through our young adult years. Having said that - we are not finance professionals!

This is not professional or legal advice - this is biblical, lived out wisdom from a Christian a bit further along the journey than us. Let’s lean in and we hope you enjoy this episode today!
