The Lifecentral Church Podcast Lifecentral Church

Our tongues can be weapons of mass destruction! Words can start wars; words can destroy families. Our tongues direct, destroy and display our life. How can we tame our tongues, and how can we be slow to speak yet quick to understand?
—Speaker: Leon Evans

In this episode of The Lifecentral Podcast, Debs sits down with Tom, Hannah and Allison in a special episode honouring Mental Health Awareness Month. Tom speaks openly about his experiences with anxiety and depression and how he and Hannah navigated that time early in their marriage. We discuss the topics of stigma and guilt as well as the things we can do to stay well. We round out the episode by discussing ways we can move towards people who are struggling, and move towards God in the midst of mental health challenges and illness.
