Show Notes

Join us as host Phil Smith, Lori Sheppard, and John Eklund welcome Heather Stephenson from Temple City Church in Selma, NC!  Heather is the Dare to Care ministry leader for Temple City Church.

On May 6, the AACC joined Temple City Church for our first-ever Mental Health Coach Summit! We were truly blessed with a time full of worship, growth, and encouragement. We are excited to see Mental Health Coaches walk in the calling that God has placed on their life!
Mental health Coaches: You are making a difference in this world.

Having a mental health ministry is important in your church is essential. 1 in 4 people in the U.S. struggles with a mental illness and 70% of the people who seek out a counselor go to the church to ask for help before going seeking out a professional counselor. Most of these churches are not equipped to handle this. Why would the church send someone to a secular institution when they could offer the solution? Christians are Christ’s ambassadors. When we say the church can’t help, people think God can’t help. The Church is at the front lines of the mental health crisis.
