Peace of Mind

It doesn't matter who you are - you need the tools to navigate your pain. 

We all experience trauma and challenges that have a lasting impact on who we become. Whether you pastor a church… or you're someone who performed at the Super Bowl halftime show, you’re a person carrying hurt inside —oftentimes for decades. 

It’s not easy to confront, but that hurt can either come out through your words… or it will come out through your body and your actions.  Tim Ross, international speaker and host of The Basement Podcast, and Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child get extremely vulnerable with us and talk about their own personal challenges with mental health, abuse, insecurity, identity, and the pressure of having demanding lifestyles. 

They'll unpack what the Bible reveals about our mental health, give us some of the clinical tools for addressing mental health challenges, and bring examples from their own lives.
