Let's get started!

💭 Thoughts from This Week

Open and Honest. Recently at church, we’ve been talking about what it means to be a church—a true community of believers—that is open and honest. I couldn’t help but notice how closely this aligns to what I talk about in the world of mental health. Both require openness. Both require honesty. And both, at their core, require vulnerability.

We live in a culture that promotes transparency through social media—sharing life updates, photos, thoughts, and experiences constantly. And yet, there still seems to be a strong guard around mental health. It can be incredibly hard to be vulnerable about a need you have. Maybe because the need feels small. Maybe because naming it might suggest to others that you’re not okay. Maybe because you were never taught how to ask for help at all. But until a need is named, it often goes unmet.

Asking for help requires openness and honesty—but it also requires vulnerability. And vulnerability needs safety.

As a community of believers, and as people who care about mental health, we have an opportunity to create spaces where this kind of vulnerability is not only allowed, but held with care. Spaces where needs can be named. Spaces where people don’t have to pretend they’re okay. Spaces where help can actually reach the places it’s needed most.

🧠 Mental Health Tip

Consider this week naming one need intentionally to a safe person. Whether it is simply " I need some encouragement" or "I could use a ride to the grocery store." Putting this into practice will make naming a need easier overtime. As a community when others start naming these needs, let's practice meeting them exactly in that space and not where we think they should be. Overtime as the needs are being named and the practice is becoming normal it may be welcomed to provide additional support or suggestions. It is a vulnerable state to ask for something let's rejoice with their requests and join them in their weeping. 📖 Scripture to Reflect On

Romans 12:15 (ESV)— "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep."

This verse reminds you that interconnectedness with those around you requires awareness, honesty and vulnerability. Both as the one who is rejoicing or weeping, and the one who is joining the rejoicing or weeping. How does this verse reveal the character of God's design for connectedness?
