Welcome back! After a two-week break, Viral Jesus is back and ready to serve you in a variety of ways this summer.
We are kicking off our first pod-class of summer today with the first episode of our new two-part series “I Think I Need a Therapist.” You will have plenty to chew on after listening to this episode. In the midst of what many are calling a national mental health crisis, young people are hurting, families are hurting, pastors and churches are hurting. Even some who once pooh-poohed therapists and psychology are recognizing their need for help. Today Heather sits down with critically acclaimed author and therapist Aundi Kolber to discuss strength, trauma, survival, and the slow miracle of being aligned with the Spirit of God.
Also, for this week’s Social Toolkit, Brady Shearer is back to give us the Three S’s of meaningful social media posts.
