Feelings are NOT Facts – Managing our Mental Health in a fast-changing world

In this talk you will walk away with a recognition of key mental health challenges one might encounter within a Church context and how to best support people experiencing mental health difficulties.
Dr. Obuaya offers an overview of a biblical / theological framework for wellbeing and answers the questions: • Followers of Jesus should always be happy, right?' Why it's ok not to be ok. • Does God care just as much about my relationships as my prayer life? • What have been some of the themes / patterns emerging in relation to mental health since the beginning of the pandemic? • As Christians, how do we weigh what is good advice and what isn't and how do we support others in need?
