In her sermon, Elisabeth emphasizes the importance of mental health, particularly among students, and how relationships impact our emotional well-being. She illustrates how anxiety can spread in groups and highlights the need for safe, supportive environments where vulnerabilities can be shared. Elisabeth also discusses the concept of lamenting as a way to bring hidden emotions to the surface, allowing God to heal us through both His presence and the support of our community. Ultimately, she encourages the congregation to create a connected community that removes shame and offers comfort, reflecting God’s love and healing.SHOW NOTESThe Encounter Faith Podcast is dedicated to creating space to slow down and dive deeper into the critical conversations we’re having every week at Good Shepherd. We fundamentally believe that you cannot encounter the risen Lord unchanged, and through the replays of our Sunday Sermons and conversations with our pastors and community leaders, we are prayerfully pursuing the author and the perfecter of our faith, together.We’d love to meet you! Email us, check out our website, and come worship with us!The best way to support the podcast is to support Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Naperville Illinois. Today’s message was originally delivered on Sunday January 26  in our Sanctuary and you can watch it here.
