Cycles of mental health and addiction can leave us crushed and hopeless. We can feel as if things will never change. This can also be true in trying to reconcile relationships. The spouse, child, friend, or co-worker will never change.... Yet we find in the third chapter of Jonah that change is available for everyone in Christ, and it can happen fast! You do not have to clean yourself up, but God will meet you right where you are. Check out this episode of The Way Podcast

Self reliance can be very deceptive. Is our faith in God’s grace? Or is our faith in our faith? Do we trust in our ability to trust God? Or do we take full responsibility for our sin and become humbled by God’s grace? Have you surrendered? Or are you looking for a quick fix?

God’s will can be difficult to understand in times of suffering. This confusion can lead to despair and even suicidal thoughts and actions. However, we can not base our standing with God on our circumstances. Rather we must trust His grave and love and cling to His Word.

Denial can be one of the most damaging behaviors of those struggling with mental health and addictions. It leads to selfishness and even worse, self-deception. As we study the book of Jonah we will find how we can break free of cycles of denial and find freedom in Christ

A persons fundamental spiritual foundation can be boiled down to having hope, joy, and peace. This starts with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Counselor Steve Leavitt breaks down the church around the world, mental health, discipleship, and missions.

Anxiety disorders can make us irrational. When we allow ourselves to think irrationally long enough pride, bitterness, and selfishness can begin to set in. This is not only damaging to us individually, but also to those around us. Jonah is a great example of what happens when the people of God do not behave with the heart of God. Following Christ with the heart of God is what grounds us and leads us to the humility needed to make the changes needed.

A major part of mental health is purpose. When we misunderstand our purpose we can easily fall into despair and hopelessness. Check out this episode as we begin the first 3 verses of Jonah
