Listen Later

💡 Are you stuck in cycles of emotional burnout, wondering why your mental health efforts don’t seem to last? The key might not be just mental health—it’s mental wellness.

In this episode of Prescription for Purpose, Dr. Sharla breaks down the difference between mental health vs. mental wellness, showing you how to protect your peace, strengthen resilience, and break free from unhealthy cycles. Many Christians focus on restoration (healing past wounds) but forget the importance of maintenance (safeguarding peace and joy daily).

🚀 Learn how to: ✔ Leverage biblical protective factors to guard your mind and spirit

Understand Matthew 12:43-45 and why spiritual maintenance is critical

Use Philippians 4:4-9 to build a faith-based mental wellness plan

Apply positive psychology principles through a Christian lens

Stop feeling like you’re doing all the things but getting nowhere


📝 Resources for Further Growth:

🔎 Take the Protective Factors Inventory to assess how many current protective factors you have.
