Question: Researchers suggest that spending about 15 minutes a day doing this is linked with improved mental-health outcomes. What is it?
Answer: A short writing exercise! (For example, writing about core values, emotions and experiences.)
Have experienced that? Another thing that has been linked not only with improved mental-health outcomes, but general human flouring is engagement with the Bible. According to a study by the American Bible Society in 2025, those who engage with God’s word at least 4 times per week experience up to a 50% reduction in anxiety and depression, lowered stress and emotional distress, increased flourishing and hope, improved cognitive behavioral changes, and enhanced resilience. That’s really cool!
God created us to experience life that is truly life in Him and through His word. He speaks to us and teaches us to know Him and experience Him in our daily lives. Today Pastor Jill brings us a message called “How to Hear God, Part 2” OR “Letting Go to Hear God’s Voice.”
