Episode 187: How to be Emotionally Healthy with Pete Scazzero

Emotional health is something that can feel elusive and impossible.

But is it?

And even if "attaining" total emotional health on this side of eternity is unlikely, what steps can we take to at least walk toward it? And why do we need to?

With the wisdom and tenderness of a kind father figure, pastor and author, Pete Scazerro, helps us answer some of our questions about the pursuit of emotional health. Together we explore the above questions as well as:

• Why is the usual church-discipling paradigm to live burned out and overextended? 
• What if we say "no" to people and they get mad at us. How do we process that?
• Are there really two types of people in the world: the helpers and the helped?

We'd love to have you join the conversation.

// Highlight:

“Say the United States is gonna cease to be a world power, and fall, and become this dominated country by another country. We may live through that. I mean, who knows what’s gonna happen? The point is: COVID, all the pressures, are putting pressure on our inner life. But, you see, if you can develop an inner life with God that’s robust, the Roman Empire can fall, but you’re okay. Because your happiness is not dependent on your circumstances.” -Pete Scazerro
