Mental health isn’t limited to what goes on inside our minds; our mental health is deeply affected by our human relationships. And one often overlooked facet of deep, authentic relationships is healthy boundaries.

Boundaries are a balancing act that offer freedom: both holding firmly to my own identity AND being open to connection with others. All of us desire this kind of self-knowledge and self-gift, but human relationships are messy! Whether it’s in a marriage, with a child, or in a friendship, we struggle to hold clear and loving boundaries. It’s so easy to only feel what others feel, or to guard against true connection when things get difficult, or to ignore our own needs because others don’t seem to notice them. 

Let’s talk about boundaries, differentiation, and cultivating a beautiful garden while meeting your neighbors at the fencepost.

This Whole Life is about being fully alive! It’s about pursuing an authentic, integrated life and allowing every part - mind, body, and soul - to function as a whole so that we can love and serve God and all your fellow humans. 

To live this in the real world requires a genuine look at our mental health in the context of faith. “Mental health” isn’t a four letter word and it’s not just for people who go to therapy. Being attentive to our mental health is crucial for EVERY follower of Christ, because when we’re mentally healthy we’re able to give our whole self to God.

As people of faith, let’s attend to our mental health: because sound mental health smooths the path to wholeness and holiness. It’s why we’re “seeking sanity and sanctity.” Welcome to This Whole Life!

This Whole Life debuts on September 4th!

How does our mental health relate to our faith?
How can we become whole while living in a broken world?
Every day, we all strive to encounter God amidst the challenges of balancing faith and family, work and leisure, our sense of self and complicated relationships.  Pat & Kenna Millea bring joy, hope, and wisdom to those who believe there is a connection between holiness and happiness.  Kenna is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist; Pat served for 15 years as a youth minister; together they have 7 children and a perfectly imperfect marriage.  From their education and experience, they share tools, resources, interviews, and stories that point the way to sanity and sanctity.
