Mental health is a significant challenge for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. This episode addresses the tension between faith and feelings, exploring how Jesus provides hope when life feels overwhelming. We’ll tackle questions like, “Is it okay to feel anxious or depressed as a Christian?” and “How can faith help when my emotions seem uncontrollable?”

Faith in Action:

1. The 5-Minute Reset: Pause, breathe, and pray.

• “God doesn’t need your Instagram-filtered prayer. He wants the raw, real version of you.”

2. Gratitude Journaling: Name your feelings. Write three things you’re thankful for daily.

• “Take a second to pause and ask, ‘What am I really feeling?’ Naming it can help you process it.” and then following that up with a few things you're thankful for helps shape your perspective.

3. Scripture Memorization: Start with Philippians 4:6-7 about peace and anxiety.

4. Worship: Throw some worship music on and worship God.

5. Talk it out: “Find someone you trust—a mentor, friend, or counselor—and share what you’re going through.”

6. Take care of your body: “Emotions and physical health are connected. Sleep, eat well, and move—it helps more than you think.”
