08 | Loving God With All Your Mind: A Conversation about Mental Health

Dear Friend,

Although sometimes God does ask us to trust and obey without explanation, Mark 12:29-31 is not one of those times! Jesus clearly and simply explains the greatest commandment He has for us, and that is to love God and to love others- technically two commands that cannot be separated! Jesus is also specific in His explanation. He doesn't just say to love God, but to love Him specifically with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. In the upcoming episodes, we are going to look at what it all means and how to love God with all that we are in these four areas!

We are starting this series with a conversation about mental health- what it is, why it's important for our relationship with God, how we can love God with our minds and how we can bring the gospel into our own brokenness and into the lives of those who are hurting around us.

I'm so excited for you to hear from our special guest today, and I'm looking forward to what God will do over the next few weeks!
Love to you all,
Candace
