Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast.
This month’s theme is “Healing Our Communities,” which divesinto some questions like, “How can I Help?” Whether you’re a caretaker orsuffering, I have seen strong communities be very helpful towards healing.
Sometimes I think of a comedian I watched one time and theparaphrased quote that I continue to tell myself and to those I assist: “Don’tbe the mayor of nothing.”
When I was struggling with my condition, I spent countlesshours trying to be understood while feeling more and more like a burden. I hadto reframe and accept that it did not require others to understand to get thesupport needed.
Healing communities provide that safe space to gain thisinsight, speaking from experience.
"The greatness of a community is most accuratelymeasured by the compassionate actions of its members." – Coretta ScottKing
