For the Sake of PHX

Politics, Mental Health, and the Gospel

Can the political season be affecting our mental health? Are the many divisive areas of our culture affecting our anxiety, stress, and even depression? Our final episode of season two is out and it is timely! Anthony and Chris discuss how the issues of our cultural day are affecting us and how a shift in worldview could potentially help us. Hosts: Anthony Suarez and Chris Priebe Music: Preston Dobbins and Chris Priebe

Being Attentive

Can running be a spiritual discipline? Since when did spiritual formation get extracted from our physical being? How can we be more attentive to the world around us and the one who made it all? And how can that help us with our anxiety and feelings of shame? Hosts: Chris Priebe, Anthony Suarez Guest: Charlie Meo Music: Chris Priebe & Preston Dobbins

Healing Is Always In the Context of Community

Part 1 of 2. We sat down with Charlie Meo, pastor at Missio Dei: Tempe, and discussed mental health in regards to community, the Church, and spiritual formation. This was such a great conversation that we had to split it into two episodes. In this first part, we discuss the importance of healing within and for a community, and how personal healing is meant to contribute to the love of neighbor. Hosts: Chris Priebe & Anthony Suarez Guest: Charlie Meo Music: Chris Priebe & Preston Dobbins

Expression and Creativity

Processing thoughts and emotions is one aspect of mental health. But then what? How do you not only internalize what is coming in, but also express and get it out? For this episode we sat down with Noel D'Avy, a practicing counselor licensed in art therapy. We discuss healthy forms of expression and how God has created us to be present. Hosts: Chris Priebe & Anthony Suarez Guest: Noel D’Avy All music produced by Chris Priebe & Preston Dobbins, with the exception of ‘Alone’ on this episode, by Emmit Fenn from the Youtube Audio Library.
