Have you ever felt the need to hide how you’re really doing out of fear of rejection, being shamed, or simply not having the capacity to deal with it?

In our society, mental and emotional health often carry a shameful stigma. And because of that, people feel the need to perform and appear totally fine, when many are actually carrying around loads of struggles and hurt daily.

On today’s episode of the First15 podcast, Rachel and Josh sit down and chat with one of our favorite guests, Debra Fileta, LPC.

In this newest episode we cover specific topics like...

• Wholistic health and the crossover between spiritual, mental, and emotional health
• Why your mental health matters and why you should take it seriously
• Why it’s so important to drop the stigmas around mental health in our Christian communities
• Understanding the difference between mental illness and oppression 

Debra is a licensed professional counselor, bestselling author, speaker, and host of the Love + Relationships podcast––a hotline-style show where people call in to get their relationship questions answered.

Your gift will be DOUBLED to help more Spanish-speakers connect with God

Two years ago, First15 began a Spanish version called Primeros15. And God is using it to impact many lives. But today, he’s calling us to more. 

More Spanish-speaking men and women connecting with him and impacting the culture around them.

That’s why we’ve just launched a summer campaign to deepen the reach and impact of Primeros15 — and why we’re asking you to jump in with us!

We’ve set a $100,000 goal, and a generous $25,000 Matching Grant has been offered to double the impact of any gift given by July 31. So please give to help more Spanish-speakers connect with God.
