Flip the Switch
Many of you have probably heard of “Seasonal Affective Disorder.”
It is a condition in which the lack of sunlight, often during winter months, can affect our moods and ability to cope effectively.
Millions of people suffer from some sort of anxiety or depression disorder.
If you personally do not, chances are you are close to someone who does.
For the next few weeks, we are going to talk about a condition called “Spiritual Affective Disorder.”
For some people, the uncertainty and pace of life can keep us from the spiritual and emotional well-being God desires.
But instead of focusing on typical spiritual practices as an antidote, we will focus on how everyday life activities can become spiritual practices—deepening our experience of a meaningful life and helping us shine a light on the “blahs.”
What we are going to look at through the lens of God’s Word can benefit everyone, no matter where you are in your life mentally, physically, or spiritually.
