Saved-ish Podcast

"Just pray about it" is a common phrase in the church but can often be a reason to avoid facing the very real challenges we face in life. Pastor Nutall and Deanie discuss the role the church can play in addressing mental health and mental illness and why Christians should embrace the benefits that science can bring to mental, emotional and even spiritual stability.

You've got issues. Real issues. Yet, everyone says "just pray about it". While prayer is important and it does work, there are experiences that could use some additional tools such as therapy. How can we as Christians get more comfortable with getting help outside of the Church? Keith speaks with licensed marriage and family therapist, April Preston of Kovu Healing and Faith Harrison, a DC resident with a powerful testimony, about the tensions between faith and science as it pertains to addressing our issues. They also unpack the stigma of therapy in the Black community and why today, more than ever, it's important for Christians to equip themselves with healthy tools for making life a little easier to live.

It's summertime aka "turn up" season. However, having fun as a Christian can be tough. There's a fear you'll be judged for having a drink, pressured to do things you shouldn't, or led to a place you don't want to be. So how can Christians turn up and still maintain a life committed to God's word? Seems impossible but our hosts think not. And do Christians do themselves a disservice by dismissing secular entertainment (i.e. hip hop music)?

Listen as Keith, Shari, and Bunmi (Saved-ish Engineer) share what turn up means for them, what they've learned about themselves and others, and how they've come to find fun in today's world.Follow savedishpod on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Pastor Dexter Nutall and Saved-ish Engineer, Bunmi Akinnusotu expand the conversation related to belief in God. How should Christians respond when bad things happen to good people, when prayers are unanswered, and when things happen outside of our control? Why believe in God, at all? Pas explains the importance of faith and the understandably difficult challenge of trusting that which we can not see.
