Out of the Dark with Mandisa & Laura Williams

AccessMore

Out of the Dark is a podcast about mental health in the body of Christ. As followers of Jesus, people are sometimes led to believe that if we struggle with anxiety, depression, addiction, identity, or the many other areas of our mental health that we are less of a Christian or are just not praying enough. As members of the body of Christ, Mandisa and Laura will tackle the idea that, while Jesus IS enough, a relationship with a counselor can help heal wounds that will enhance your relationship with Jesus. They will cover specific topics related to mental health and offer resources to listeners to enhance your journey of personal growth. We can’t do it alone; we need to step out of the dark of shame and guilt and into the light of recovery and redemption. New episodes air Wednesday. Make sure to subscribe so you never miss an opportunity to step Out of the Dark.

Supporting Your Child's Mental Health: Insights from Mandisa and Laura Williams

“No, emotion is too small, and there's no good or bad emotion. No, anger is not bad and happiness is not good. Okay, you know, embrace their feeling, embrace what they're trying to tell you.”

How do you know when your child might need a counselor? Are you asking the right questions? And does seeking help make you a bad parent? These are some of the tough questions tackled by Mandisa and Laura Williams in this episode of 'Out of the Dark'. They dive into the often-overlooked topic of children's mental health, offering practical advice and heartfelt insights for parents and caregivers.

Children might not be as resilient as we think, and it's crucial to stay tuned into their emotional needs. The hosts discuss how to recognize when a child might need professional help, the importance of talking openly about emotions, and the role social media plays in shaping young minds. Mandisa emphasizes that no emotion is too small or insignificant, urging parents to embrace all feelings, whether it's anger or happiness.

Creating a safe space for children to express themselves is key. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to better support their child's mental well-being.
