On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we kicked off the week with some much-needed encouragement as our guest took us to the final book of the Bible to explain some of the most common confusions and to prepare us for the glorious future God has planned for His children. We took a look at the importance of the 7 churches of Revelation, explained who the Anti-Christ is and drew a picture of what life in the millennial kingdom will really be like.  Why is there such a stigma in the church regarding mental health? Our guest explained the importance of church’s recognizing the need to care for members who struggle with mental health concerns, what is involved in creating a mental health team at your church and she shared some encouraging stories of church teams that are working and producing life-transformative results. If your well has run dry from the bombardment of our “me driven” society and you need a time of true refreshment, we had the perfect escape for you as we spoke to a Canadian pastor who challenged us to turn away from the distractions of this world and to turn our eyes toward the omnipotence of God. He says that once we can find deep and abiding hope and encouragement for our lives when we turn our focus onto Him and His power, beauty and goodness. We returned to the topic of mental health in the church later in the week because it is a multi-faceted issue. Our second guest to address this topic is a counselor and former pastor who has seen this from behind the pulpit and among the people. He says that church leaders lack the training necessary to help those who struggle. He offered clear, biblically sound guidance for recognizing the symptoms of mental illness and how to minister God’s love and provide support for those who are hurting. The end of another week is upon us. So, it is time to ring the class bell and get in our seats as our favorite teaching team continue showing us how to develop a biblically discerning eye as we examine the news we find in the marketplace of ideas every day.
