Another evangelical pastor, another suicide. What is happening in the Christian Church where so many are committing suicide? Why aren’t we talking about mental health among our leaders? We do not struggle just with flesh and blood… and yet we judge and look down on faith leaders who dare admit that they are struggling with mental health. In this episode of ANN In-Depth, we take a look at suicide and mental health among church leaders. GUESTS This week we are joined by Dr. Dee Knight and Chaplain Paul Anderson.

Here are the latest Adventist news: Seventh-day Adventists gladly received House Resolution 512 against blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy laws, which passed the US House of Representatives last December 7. According to Bettine Krause, the world church’s associate director for Public Affairs and Religious Liberty, this move rightly condemns efforts by any government to define or enforce a religious orthodoxy. The resolution also calls for the release of all prisoners currently jailed under such laws. Adventist Visually Impaired Senator Elected to UN Committee Senator Floyd Morris was voted a member of the United Nations Committee for Persons with Disabilities last November 30. He may be blind, but he is an inspiration to the disabled community in Jamaica. He is the first Jamaican to be elected to the Committee, a body of independent experts who monitor the implementation of the Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities by the states and countries who are signatories. Andrew Harewood Makes History in the US Army Reserve Colonel Andrew Harewood was promoted as general upon accepting the position of Deputy Chief of Chaplains for the United States Army Reserve last November 1. This historic promotion makes him the first Adventist and the first African American chaplain to become an Army reserve general. Now, he is the third Adventist chaplain in the US military to reach the general rank. The formal promotional ceremony will take place on December 11, 2020, at Fort Myer Chapel in the Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia. Adventist Church Assists Flooded Communities in West Venezuela Hurricane Eta left West Venezuela flooded, without power and with no adequate potable water. The Seventh-day Adventist Church and Adventist Development and Relief Agency worked together to help the affected communities. They supplied food bags and offered free medical services. They also conducted a special one-day Vacation Bible School activity, distributing school supplies and toiletry kits to the children. If you feel moved to assist financially, please visit ADRA | Adventist Development and Relief Agency International. In the other news, Adventist communicators gathered together online for the 2020 GAiN Conference and Heroes the Game is now released!

Of all the gifts that God has given us, two of the most precious come from the Garden of Eden: the Sabbath and the family. These special gifts center on relationships—with God, and with the people closest to us. In this video, Pastor Ted Wilson will give six recommendations for strengthening the family. What are some practical things we can do to strengthen families? Here are six recommendations: 1. Take time each day for family worship – Have a daily family worship that is short and uplifting. Let the family be sent off in the morning with prayer and at night conclude with prayer. 2. Talk with and pray for your children. – It’s vital that you talk with your children. Ask them about school, their social lives, their spiritual development. Tell them you’re praying for them. Prayer helps your children know that you rely on God, and by modeling prayer, it tells them that they, too, need to rely on God. 3. Affirm and value your children. – Show your children that you appreciate them, and that they are unique individuals. Give them direction and encouragement toward something of eternal worth. Point them to the Lord as the source of all good things and encourage them in this direction. 4. Plan special times together. – Plan far in advance for special family activities. If you’re not intentional about creating activities, you’ll go through life without much interaction with your family. 5. Be the change you wish to see. – Families were meant to encourage, not to discourage. Intentionally reach out to your family members, whether they are near or far away. 6. Be your brother’s keeper. – Families are under enormous attack. Take courage from the Lord. The question that Cain asked, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” is answered by Christ as He showed an interest in everyone. This also extends to the church family. We are part of a global family of more than 20 million brothers and sisters—each with a responsibility to help nurture this wonderful, worldwide family. When we get to heaven, God won’t ask us about how much work we did in the church, or how many pamphlets we handed out—as good as those things are, that won’t be the primary focus. Instead He will ask, “What did you do with your family? Where is your little flock?” Each year the Family Ministries department of the General Conference creates resources to help strengthen families. Visit their website at www.family.adventist.org and download their Revival and Reformation e-book titled, Building Family Memories, edited by Family Life Directors, Willie and Elaine Oliver. This book is a great resource for anyone interested in strengthening their own family, as well as families in the church and the community. 00:00 Greetings
