Revive Ministries

Due to the current status of the world, it has been difficult to obtain new guests as easily as before. In addition, with some parts of the USA opening up, depending on guests to be available as regularly as I would like has been very challenging.

Despite not being able to book as many guests as I like, I still want to follow the same upload schedule: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

So I decided in attempting a 10-part series that will upload its first episode on June 9th and will go on to June 30th, which will be the last episode of this particular series.

Nearing the end of this 10-part series, I will share with you all that will happen after June 30th.

Rest assured, I will continue making episodes and podcasting.

Thanks for listening.

Part 2 will be uploading in two days on Thursday.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast!!! Today on Robert’s Corner, we will discuss finding recovery amongst the odds. Last month was Mental Health Month, but despite it ending, the need is still very great today in our communities. Revive Ministries Podcast is trying to promote wellness in our mental and emotional struggles.

“Some people cannot be cured, but everyone can heal.”

I will leave you with this quote:

"Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn't you--all of the expectations, all of the beliefs--and becoming who you are."

- Rachel Naomi Remen

Welcome to Robert’s Corner! Today we will be talking about Covid-19 and how it impacts us socially today and, in turn, its impacts on our overall wellness.

"If your emotional abilities aren’t in hand, if you don’t have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can’t have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far." 

– Daniel Goleman

How we think and feel and adapt in life is huge. My recovery wasn’t just one thing, but multiple things working together. Is it perfect? Nope. Looking at socializing, it can be hugely stressful with many unrealistic expectations. The late Bob Marley said it this way:

"Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for." 

- Bob Marley

At the same time, being super-careful won't help either. Fear has made us look at things with one solution. Social distancing is hard, sure, with Covid-19; but I would say social distancing and feeling isolated has always been a struggle for many--including me.

Thank you again for listening to Robert’s Corner.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast! Today on Robert’s Corner, we are continuing our journey through and after Covid-19, regarding Mental Health Recovery. This is the last day of Mental Health Month and is a reminder of how far we have come and how much more we are still striving for in the future of Mental Health Awareness.

Disclaimer: If you are in crisis, please seek immediate medical attention.

"Give yourself time to heal from a challenge you’ve been dealt with. Letting go of hurt doesn’t happen overnight. It happens in slow, small steps forward. Plus a few steps backward at times. Be gentle and patient with yourself."

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast! Today on Robert’s Corner, we will still be diving into recovery during and after the storm, but this time focusing on hope. Mike Jones will be joining us again to share insight into what we have both seen during this Covid-19 crisis and how hope is more relevant to our wellness today.

“Most of us lead far more meaningful lives than we know. Often finding meaning is not about doing things differently; it is about seeing familiar things in new ways. ”

“The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.”

- Rachel Naomi Remen

Today on Robert’s Corner, I talk about hope and why it’s vital for our recovery during and after a storm like Covid-19. Hope is seen like something that happens after a storm takes a positive turn forward. However, that is not always the case for how things are today.

Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional, so if you are in crisis, please seek professional medical attention.

I always like starting my episodes with a quote:

“The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

- Winston Churchill

Perception is an interesting thing. I said this in a previous episode that someone’s good news is another’s bad news. This month is Mental Health Month. Being a facilitator for NAMI, we know the last principle of support: “We never give up hope.” I find hope very useful in times of crisis and days like now. The idea of hope is fundamentally healing. It was a huge step to say that I am actually looking forward to what is next.

Next week we will continue this journey deeper in hope and its impact on us, during and after the storm.

The “storm” being COVID-19.
