Most of the people who come to our counselors at the Vineyard Counseling Center come with one fundamental problem, anxiety. This is because anxiety is an underlying component in almost every other diagnosis, symptom or mood disorder people have. The fact is, life can be very scary, and God has given us the capacity to feel anxiety to help protect ourselves when threats arise.
In 1 Corinthians 12:26 we read of the community of Christ: If one part suffers, every part suffers with it. In this moment, as the body of Christ, we suffer and lament together as we recognize more clearly and mourn the rise of antagonism toward and violence against members of the Asian community in the US. I know that many on our staff and in our church & community are impacted personally in myriad ways. Please, let’s take time as we enter into the weekend to check in on one-another, and on those we serve, and to make space for processing, listening, and care.
For many years, there have been different stigmas and connotations associated with mental health. This world can be a hard and stressful place to live and it’s important to acknowledge that mental health is real and prevalent in our society. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or something else, the National Health Institute reminds us that symptoms can be exhibited in many ways so it’s important to be mindful of how people in our community are doing.
Have you been telling yourself for a few years that you’ve always wanted to learn how to pray? Do you feel a call to leadership? Has God revealed the desire for more emotional resilience? Considering priorities and purpose is done best in meaningful relationships with others. Midpoint is a place to grow alongside others.

In spite of all the confusion and anxiety swirling around us, it is crucial to remember that we serve a God who is always the same, He never changes. He is not confused or surprised by this. He wants us to be reminded that He has given us the task, above all others, to teach our children about the Lord. We are called to be their first disciplers and mentors in our Christian faith.
