The Joy of Movement: Caring for Body, Mind, and Community
Movement isn’t just about fitness—it’s about connection. During Mental Illness Awareness Week, we’re reflecting on how moving our bodies can lift our spirits, strengthen our minds, and draw us closer to God and one another. Each step becomes an act of worship, gratitude, and love—for ourselves and our community.
Nutrition: Fueling to Function, Not Feelings
We’ve all been there—reaching for comfort food when stress or loneliness hits. But while food can soothe in the moment, it rarely fuels us for the life we want to live. This week in our Steps Toward Healing & Hope series, we explore what it looks like to shift from eating based on emotions to fueling our bodies for strength, clarity, and wholeness.
Feeling Lost, Finding Hope
We all feel lost at times—overwhelmed by life, unsure where to turn. But feeling lost is not the end of the story; it can be the starting point for healing, growth, and hope. This series invites you to take one small step at a time toward wholeness—in body, mind, relationships, and spirit.
A New Chapter, Rooted in a Shared Story
As I begin serving as Executive Director at New Hope, I’m mindful of the story that’s already unfolding here — a story shaped by many leaders, staff, and community members over nearly three decades. I’m grateful to join in that work, helping steward New Hope’s mission of hope and healing as we look ahead together.
