Being Healthy in a Church – Pt 2

With Richard Black

The second episode of ‘Being Healthy in a Church’ is out! In this last episode counsellor Richard Black shares insights into the gift that forgiveness is to our mental wellbeing. He teaches what forgiveness is and what it isn’t. He also makes a compelling case for the benefits of forgiveness for the person who forgives.

We may leave a church for a variety of reasons, some very practical while others more complex. Here Richard discusses the more complex type and a process for communicating with church leaders in healthy ways. He also speaks to the need to be considerate of pastors’ mental wellbeing.

“Forgiveness is actually about letting us off the hook of carrying such a soul destroying unforgiveness”…

I am grateful for Richard’s contribution to these episodes. Part one is available on your podcast platform. The introductory conversation to both can be listened to on my last post called, ‘Being Healthy in a Church – Part One’.

 Richard is a sought after counsellor and speaker. For more information about Richard and his counselling business you can visit Mind Health www.mindhealth.org 

Korimako Church -Palmerston North

Last month I had the privilege of travelling to Palmerston North to Korimako Vineyard Church. I shared my story at a women’s gathering. I had a wonderful time with Amy Tait (above left), the Tait whānau and the lovely women there.

Go well this Autumn season,
