Episode Synopsis

Hey everyone, Amber here! On this World Mental Health Day, join me as I share some personal insights from my upcoming book #sisterhoodoftheshortyellowpencils: Mental Health Mayhem, One Sticky Note at a Time. Let's talk about what took me from wearing the mask to the realness of the church I experienced in a psych ward. It's time to create a community that reflects the heart of Christ that embraces real healing and judgement free zone that draws people into a closer relationship with Him to build a more inclusive community. Let's truly see the people behind the steeple together.00:00 Introduction and Purpose00:56 The Facade of Church Life01:53 A Week in the Psych Ward03:06 Finding Authenticity in Vulnerability05:58 The Struggle for Authenticity Outside07:09 A Call for a Safe Church10:42 Prayer and ConclusionAmber Weigand-Buckley is an award-winning author, podcaster as well as editor and art director for Leading Hearts magazine.
