• #13 - Grace and mental health
    Jul 8 2021

    This is the 13th episode of A Quick Word and it’s a milestone. We’ve been on air and podcasting for 13 weeks now. We started this journey because of a simple question: Is there a connection between my mental health and my faith in God?

    This question is not new. Although, very often, there is a tendency to see them both as two separate areas, with no connection to each other. But they are interconnected, and intricately so.

    A balanced emphasis on both mental and spiritual health is actually where we should be having in order to live as a healthy, complete, Christian

    In this episode, Pastor Bayu shares A Quick Word about the connection between our mental and spiritual health.

  • #06 - Dealing with loneliness Part 2
    May 20 2021

    On the previous episode, I talked about the impact of loneliness, and about the fact that good relationships lead to good health. 

    The ability to nurture and give love can help counter loneliness to a degree. It can be tricky to offer a general solution on matters of the mind because some issues reach deeper than what we can handle on our own. There is no shame in reaching out to a mental health professional if we feel that we cannot tackle the isolation and loneliness on our own.

    On this episode, Pastor Bayu shares A Quick Word on some practical ways to deal with loneliness
