    Send a text

     What will you say when someone you care about says 

    "No matter how hard I try, I'm never good enough. 

     Or "I'm so anxious I can't sleep?"

    I've always known there were solutions to mental health problems in the scriptures, and I tried to help my clients of faith by quoting them.  But it wasn't enough, just reciting scripture lacked the power for change.

    In Chile, South America I discovered how to help a person feast on the scriptures and generate solutions to their problems and become emotionally self reliant.  When someone you love comes to you for support, these four steps can  help you counsel like the Savior.

    Today we'll cover Acts 10:38  Jesus went about doing good.
