Mental health issues cannot be isolated from a person's whole being. All areas of our lives are "interwoven."
"Interwoven Health" is the health of every aspect of an individual: the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual that was knit together by God.
Our Starting A Minds Renewed Ministry Manual gives information to help you understand and practice "Interwoven Health" along with the ministry's other major goals: Unraveling the Stigma of Mental Illness, Developing A Minds Renewed Support Group and Becoming A Beloved Interwoven Congregation.
Why Your Church Should Have A Minds Renewed Ministry:
As the church, we represent God to our community – His love, His grace and His truth. Jesus clearly demonstrated love for all including the people that were set aside by the culture of the day. People with mental illness are among those who are often set aside by the culture of our day. They have experienced what feels like rejection or avoidance from others who don’t understand.
Furthermore, many people in the church as well as society have marital and family discord, anger - management problems, relational issues etc. These are symptoms of problems with a person’s overall health (Interwoven Health™). When people in the church have Interwoven Health problems, it causes not only the individual turmoil, but it also affects the church body.
A Minds Renewed ministry in your church can help every person in the congregation to:
- Renew his/her mind in God’s Word
- Have his/her optimal Interwoven Health
- Love all people including those with mental illness the way that Jesus modeled and commanded us to love
