Every day we are faced with lies. Many of these lies attack the very essence of who we are...our identity as a child of God. The best way to battle lies is to know the TRUTH. The more you know about WHO you are in Christ the easier it becomes to distinguish lies from truth ❤️

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve reached 77.43% of our Building Hope fundraising goal! We are deeply grateful for the incredible support from individuals, businesses, churches, and foundations who have helped us get this far.

This month brought major progress — the entire roof and all the windows are now in place as well as the exterior doors, sidewalks and porches! The structure is truly taking shape, and our excitement continues to grow as we move closer to providing even more valuable resources for our community.

One of the most significant contributors to autumn-related mental health challenges is the decrease in daylight. As the sun sets earlier and mornings grow darker, our exposure to natural light diminishes—disrupting our circadian rhythms and affecting the production of serotonin and melatonin, two key chemicals that regulate mood and sleep. This shift can trigger Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression that occurs at a specific time of year, most commonly in the fall and winter.

Today we wanted to highlight the 2nd most common mental health diagnosis: Depression. Depression affects approximately 280 million people and is 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲. During a depressive episode, the person experiences depressed mood (feeling sad, irritable, empty) or a loss of pleasure or interest in activities, for most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks. Several other symptoms are also present, which may include poor concentration, feelings of excessive guilt or low self-worth, hopelessness about the future, thoughts about dying or su***de, disrupted sleep, changes in appetite or weight, and feeling especially tired or low in energy.
If you are struggling with depression, know that you are not alone. There is hope and there is help.
