God is bigger than we think, is the originator of much research in the secular community and how God sees people who look.
Ever wondered how small acts of kindness can ripple through a community and improve mental health? In this episode of 'Strong Tower Mental Health', licensed therapist Heidi Mortenson sits down with Julia Lines, the Isanti County Administrator in Minnesota, to discuss the transformative power of community-based wellness initiatives. Drawing inspiration from Shawn Anchor's 'Happiness Advantage', Heidi and Julia explore how simple practices like gratitude journaling, meditation, and random acts of kindness can create lasting positive change.
They also delve into the sometimes controversial intersection of faith and secular wellness programs, highlighting how spiritual principles often underpin scientific research. Julia shares her experiences with criticism from religious community members and how she navigates these challenges. Heidi offers her perspective on seeing God’s hand in all aspects of life, even in areas that might seem purely secular. This episode is a heartfelt conversation about bridging gaps, fostering understanding, and building a supportive community for mental health.
