Joni And Friends Ministry Podcast

"What does the church bring to the table? We specialize in love and human kindness, manifested in Christ-like friendships."Previously on the podcast, Dr. John Swinton shared how stigma affects those struggling with their mental health. During this insightful conversation, he shared practical ways to love our neighbors well. This week, Dr. Swinton is returning to expand on how the body of Christ can create a community of belonging for those facing mental health challenges. He offers up new ways of seeing one another in which difference and disability are embraced as a valid way of being fully human and fully alive to the possibilities of God. Because when we view each person as a unique individual, rather than defining someone by their diagnosis, we can create an environment of friendship and belonging.“When Jesus, who is God, sits in the margins with those who are marginalized, the margins change.” Related Podcasts:Mental Health and Loving Our Neighbors WellWalking with God through SchizophreniaCaring for Som
