C50 Podcast

I was coworkers with a guy at the Bible Chapel for years and had no idea that his wife struggled with some similar things as myself. The Butor's are like one of those power couples you read about, they have the look, talent and smiles but I know both of them are honest about their walk with the Lord. Come listen and hear Alex share about her ups and downs and how she went from Hurt to Hope. Support the show (https://www.c50hope.com/giving-info)

Come hear a story of how Roz's mental health was lacking and alcohol filled a void but created more of a void in the end. First it was 30 beers a day, then it was a gallon of vodka a day and then bottles of mouthwash. This is a story about recovery and Jesus Christ.Support the show (https://www.c50hope.com/giving-info)

This is a great phone interview with an phenomenal lady, Alisa Keeton from Revelation Wellness. At first glance you may start to think Alisa and Revelation Wellness is just physical health. However, This can't be further from the truth. How do I even begin to explain how Revelation Wellness speaks into every aspect of our lives and points people to Jesus. Listen and Alisa will explain it better.* RW does get into physical health at some point in your journey...Let's say, after you get focused with Christ etc. Physical fitness is tough for many people affected by mental health issues. It can be tough to drag yourself out of bed and get going. The reason we love RW here at C50 is because it's a journey that starts where you are and brings you closer to Christ. Support the show (https://www.c50hope.com/giving-info)

Here is a quick discussion on a couple of our personal stories and how we wrestle with the portrayal of mental illness. It seems like many times people associate dysfunctional behavior with a mental illness. Not cool. Best thing to do is not make mental illness a laughing matter or respond that someones behavior is from a mental illness. Let's focus on building up and supporting those that are struggling.  Support the show (https://www.c50hope.com/giving-info)

In this episode you will hear how Jesse lived life for many years assuming everyone felt and thought the way he did. You will hear how OCD manifested itself in a young boy and how the struggle grew as Jesse aged. The story follows Jesse through many twists and turns but ultimately you will hear Jesse confirm that we shouldn't jump to assuming there is a sin problem when people struggle with mental illness. Of course life is complicated and this is a big issue but Jesse wraps up the podcast compelling us that Jesus makes all things new. Jesse works at Apex Community Church in Dayton Ohio. It's a great place and to all our Dayton listeners, check it out. Support the show (https://www.c50hope.com/giving-info)

All of us affected by mental illness will find this episode interesting as we dive into the years when, many times, mental illness begins. I can't say enough about this episode if your child is symptomatic or you just feel something may be different with your child's behavior, emotions etc. Dr. Wes Reilly is an incredible man who loves Jesus and is passionate about integrating psychology and the study of the mind/behavior with faith in Christ. As always, Dr. Reilly is not making and professional decisions. Please remain faithful to the work you are doing with your therapist and doctors. Dr. Reilly, however, can be reached by writing us at C50. E-mail: C50Hope@Gmail.com.

Our good friend Jaclyn Royall is the Director of the special needs ministry at The Bible Chapel in McMurray. Jaclyn's passion for those with special needs is contagious. When talking with her recently, I asked a ridiculous question. "Do people with special needs struggle with mental health like I would." Jaclyn said, "Of course" I don't know why I even thought different but Jaclyn explained it to me and I knew we had to have her on the podcast. We are really talking about two groups of folks that can be overlooked. We obviously want this podcast to revolve around mental health but we purposefully let Jaclyn do her thing and sneak in all sorts of topics she is passionate about in the community she serves. You can find Jaclyn at The Bible Chapel in McMurray. The church has an incredible ministry to those families affected by Autism and like disabilities. http://www.biblechapel.org/connect/special-needs/ Support the show (https://www.c50hope.com/giving-info)
