Welcome to Robert's Corner from Revive Ministries Podcast“There are many times in our lives when we feel like life has crumpled us up and grounded us into the dirt. We may make some bad decisions or have to deal with some poor circumstances, and sometimes life can make us feel worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your worth, you never lose your value - don't ever forget that."- Author Unknown“Forgiveness is not an occasional act: it is an attitude.” — Martin Luther King Jr.Mental Health is messy and a struggle for all connected. I can only share that the quote above reminds me of the importance of asking the right questions.When was Mental Health ever easy?What is the priority of the person suffering, mental health, or personal discomfort?Include the person suffering from mental health issues in the planning process. Get help, don't ignore. Nothing will change if nothing changes. Lastly, ask yourself why this situation matters, not because of some objective reason, but more on who is suffering.“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” – Ralph Waldo EmersonRevive Ministries Podcast is not a ministry that proselytizes its message but instead serves its community by providing a platform for conversation on topics that usually get ignored or dismissed.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast. I recently read a story about a starfish. It was a short story about a young boy throwing starfish into the ocean. An old wise man asked why he was doing this. The boy replied, “Because the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back in, they may die.” The old man replied, “Boy, don't you know this long beach is full of starfish? You can't make a difference.” The boy picked up another starfish and threw it in the sea, smiling and saying, “It made a difference to that one.” Today we have a returning guest, Richard Tierney, to assist us in discussing how important community can be to our healing and recovery.Disclaimer: if you are in crisis, please seek appropriate professional help immediately.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast. Envision a car ride across the country and you are sitting next to a 7-year-old boy in the back seat constantly asking questions about how long it will take and why? It may seem exhausting, but the curiosity and excitement appears to still be awake. When was the last time I was excited to get anywhere or, better yet, ask myself “why” constantly due to my pure curiosity and excitement for what is next? This month we are diving deeper into discovering what's our “why.” Why may it be important to have purpose when it comes to our daily lives and resilience? “The two most important days in life are the day you born and the day you discover the reason why.” – Mark TwainToday, we have a new guest, Shane Thrapp, to assist us in discussing this area while also sharing their own story along the way.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast. This month marks a new year for those listening today, which may mean several things entering into 2025—including healing. I ask the question, am I allowed to take steps to get better? This month's theme is “A Brave Healing,” which focuses on a deeper conversation that may lead us to the question, “Is it better to appear like one is doing well or actually doing well”? Today, we have a new guest, Dr. Carrie Johansson, to assist us in discussing this month's theme. "Asking for help is a power move. It's a sign of strength to ask and a sign of strength to fight off judgment when other people raise their hands." - Brené Brown “Have patience with all things. But first of all, with yourself.” ―Francis de Sales More on Dr Carrie Johansson www.selfhelponthego.com https://tinyurl.com/Self-Help-on-the-Go Dr Carrie is a speaker, author and psychologist.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast. This month's theme is “Remembering Our Story, Finding Hope,” which can be a positive step toward reminding ourselves of what we have endured and learned. As we head closer to the end of the year, we may find the temptation to compare our lives generally to the lives around us. From my experience, this only discredits the experiences one has faced and can make it harder to remember the lessons we may have endured. This time of year can be a hard time for many people, as we may reflect on those who are no longer with us today. This month I would like to encourage those who are struggling around this time of year to find a community to connect with. If you are in need, please ask for help.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast. This month's theme is “Building a Home”, which can mean many different things to those connecting during this time of year. It could mean an extra placemat for a family member who has recently passed. It can also be a loud silence of lost relationships for those left behind.

It can also be a reminder of the importance of home.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast. This month's theme is “It's Ok to Fall,” which has been the theme for October the last few years. I recently read a concept that states, “Forget the favors you have given to your neighbor, but remember to always remember the people who have helped you along the way.” In the thick of pain and struggles, I can only speak from my experience, which reminds me of a question that has helped me: “Am I allowed to get better?”. I feel that this concept has reminded me that humanity is messy and beautiful. I would also say we can feel accomplished in one moment and worthless the next moment.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast; this month's theme is “The Silent Pain” to recognize and bring awareness to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month, which is observed in the States but also an increasingly tough topic for those suffering and their families. The term “PTSD” first appeared in 1980 in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. However, earlier medical publications referred to conditions described as “soldier's heart,” “shell shock,” and “war neurosis.” With the prevalence of PTSD in the military community, it is not surprising that the effort to create awareness was launched as a tribute to a service member. On June 27, 2010, PTSD Awareness Day was established in recognition of Staff Sergeant, Joe Biel, a National Guard service member who experienced PTSD after two tours in Iraq and died by suicide in 2007. In 2014, the federal government designated the entire month of June as PTSD Awareness Month. Disclaimer: if you are in crisis, please seek appropriate professional help immediately.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast. As we go into May, we are reminded of how far mental health has come since the turn of the 20th century to where we are today. However, there is still so much work left to be done. Last month, I mentioned this African Proverb, and I feel it is still relevant to this month's theme. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.” – African proverb. “Remembering Our Names” is a response I felt having struggled in my life with mental health issues. The idea is that mental health can be inconvenient and a struggle for the individual and family/support to adjust. Several factors may play a role in a person getting appropriate help. At times the questions of why we care about mental health is simpler: the individual who suffering is a daughter, son, wife husband, parent whose quality and value does not diminish due to them having a mental health condition, and to instead remember their names in our lives first. This month, we will discuss and/or share experiences that promote a community that supports those struggling with a mental health condition together, as the African proverb states. Today, Christine Samuel is here to discuss this matter with us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights with us today. “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” — Mark Twain More on Christien Samuel Christine Christine Samuel - Coach, Facilitator Author & Speaker.

If you want to go far, go with others.” Today we had Jonathan Niziol here to discuss this matter with us. Short Bio;  Jonathan's journey took a dramatic turn after the sudden passing of his mother just before his 21st birthday, followed by the heartbreaking loss of three close friends and a traumatic experience of sexual assault during a casting as an adult. These events triggered a downward spiral spanning over a decade, marked by battles with alcohol and drug addiction, panic disorder, anxiety, and depression, impacting every facet of his life from jobs to relationships. Today, he celebrates 15 years of sobriety from alcohol and 6 1/2 years free from all other substances. As an esteemed international model, he has become a beacon of inspiration within the fitness and wellness community, known for his genuine and supportive demeanor that touches those around him. Yet, he remains determined to extend his impact even further.
