Episode Synopsis

In this message, Pastor Marvin Walker reminds us that God isn’t distant from our mental and emotional struggles. From Job’s honest lament to the man among the tombs in Mark 5:1-20, we see that Jesus moves toward those who feel broken, not away from them.   It’s okay to not be okay, but you don’t have to stay alone. Discover how Jesus restores minds, renews hearts, and invites us to feel, tell, act, go, and live in His healing presence. -- • When have you felt like the man among the tombs, distant, misunderstood, or isolated, even while trying to follow Jesus?   • Why do you think Jesus crossed the sea just to meet this one man? What does that tell you about His heart toward those who are struggling mentally or emotionally?   • Which of the five choices: Feel, Tell, Act, Go, and Live, is hardest for you right now? Which comes most naturally? Why?   • When someone you care about is “not okay,” how can you be a faithful friend who’s present, not just helpful?
