Joel Harris returns to the podcast to talk through six key elements relating to the mental wellbeing of young people. These are honesty, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, shame and anger.

Joel offers some really helpful analogies that will help us in our pastoral support of young people, as well as discussing the beauty in our brokenness, the power of your own story, and the importance of vulnerability. And if you don't know what a stress bucket is, then this is your moment!

MPower's Nick Whittome is in conversation with Elim’s national leader Chris Cartwright. Chris briefly outlines his journey in faith and ministry, up to his current role as the General Superintendent of the Elim Pentecostal movement.

We ask the million-dollar question: how can really busy blokes manage all the different priorities they are confronted by? We all get pushed into an extraordinary level of ‘busyness’, but we mustn’t beat ourselves up about that!

Chris shares that he has been slowly working his way through the Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, along with a couple of really helpful principles for really busy blokes.

So what exactly is “Glocal”? Listen to Mark chat with his mate, fellow Elim Minister Iain Hesketh who is Elim’s International Missions Director.

In light of the current pandemic situation, which means no singing in church in many places for the foreseeable future, Simo Frestadius and Jonathan Black talk about how we can worship without music, and draw some lessons from Pentecostals of the past.

Joel Harris spent most of his teenage years growing an online following through YouTube and Instagram, becoming a social media influencer and travelling the country presenting shows. Despite such success, he struggled with his identity and the subtle trap of seeking worth through likes and followers.

In this episode of the Limitless Leadership Podcast, Joel discusses his personal story, explaining how social media has impacted him and how he has learned to manage it. He has some great advice for youth leaders as to how we can utilise social media in youth ministry, and how we can disciple young people in a digital age.

Founder and CEO of Cooke Media Group in Los Angeles, Phil Cooke has produced media programming in more than 60 countries. He’s produced many of the most influential inspirational TV programs in history, and his newest book is, “Maximize Your Influence: How to Make Digital Media Work for your Church, your Ministry, and You.” He's been called “one of the most innovative communicators of our generation.

In this Elim MPower podcast episode, we discuss why men find it hard to face mental health problems. Maldwyn Jones shares about a time when he himself suffered a mental breakdown at the age of 27, which took him several months’ recuperation to overcome.

He points to several factors that helped him get better: his wife Ruth acknowledged the struggle without letting him slip into a morass of depression; he had a daily routine supported by a mutual friend; he talked with the psychiatrist referred for him by his GP, and he spent a period of time doing physical work on a church building project, which helped him not just to feel useful but which also gave him better sleep at night.

Maldwyn talks about struggling with self-confidence, and with battling his own self-esteem for much of his ministry. He credits the increased confidence of his later years both to Jesus and also to the strong love and support of his wife Ruth.

He also describes the terrible issue of suicide particularly among younger men – and points to the love of God for us as men as the foundational starting point of who we are and for a strong sense of worth.
