Some struggles don't show up on the surface, but they're there. In this episode, Anne Kierce, Pastor of Care, and Alicia Penning, Associate Director of Care, open an honest conversation about the experiences people in our community may keep silent about: mental health, loneliness, and relationship strain. They explore why these topics can feel taboo in church, why depression and anxiety aren't failures of faith, and how to recognize when someone around you, or you yourself, might be hurting. So let's talk about it. Shame thrives in silence, and you were never meant to carry this alone.
