It seems that everyone knows someone who’s struggling with mental health. Is that because we’re more open about mental health, or because more people are struggling with their mental health? 

Dean VanderMey of Set Free Ministries joins us to share how the way we’re living, the choices we’re making, the habits we’re forming are deeply affecting our mental health. He shares rules and tools that set us free!

There are 3 M’s that keep us from experiencing freedom in Christ: meditating on our pain, medicating our pain, and being motivated by our pain. To experience freedom in Christ we can instead: Face our pain, forgive those who’ve hurt us, and follow Jesus.

He reminds us of the importance of taking every thought captive and making them obedient to Christ as well. There truly is freedom in following God’s instructions that he gives us in His Word.

Also, Shawna gets honest about how the Lord has convicted her of looking at worthless things. Our great God who loves us rescues us from what holds us captive.

Perry says, “I wasn’t looking for Jesus. I was just wanting to play hoops so I could get a scholarship to play college basketball.” But Jesus found Perry that night and that gave him deep love for Jesus. But he shares, “I still love him so imperfectly!”
