Mental health issues in America have growing at a staggering rate. During the 90’s when I was a teenager, most of my friends and peers were unhappy. This all changed with the Millennial Generation. Those who reported feeling “very happy” increased significantly among Millennials. And yet, we see that there’s been precipitous drop in happiness among people born after 1995.

In a major survey administered by the American Collegiate Health Association, college students are now more likely to say they feel overwhelming anxiety and that they felt so depressed they could not function.[1] Many experts believe we’re in the middle of the worst mental health crisis in decades with teen depression and suicide skyrocketing since 2011.

In most American churches, leaders feel disappointed by members’ lack of interest in developing personal ministry. Many members don’t have a category for personal ministry and can’t understand why people would exert energy to win disciples or develop other consistent outlets to build up the body of Christ.

At Dwell, we see a different picture. Our leadership has stressed the importance of every-member ministry and lay leadership. This has created a hunger among our members to engage in ministry. Even younger members desire to win lost people and help newer Christians become disciples of Christ. Our members relish the idea of spending numerous hours every week meeting with younger believers for study, sharing and prayer.

Many across our country and in our own fellowship feel grief and moral outrage over the racism and moral injustice we’ve seen just in the last few months.

Some of you feel a mixture of anger, fear, and exasperation. Anger: because you have experienced racism and injustice firsthand. Fear: because you worry for your own life and the lives of your friends and family. Exasperation: because you feel like it keeps happening and nothing is changing.

During Jesus’ life, he often used Scripture to express how he felt. As the executioners fastened him to the cross, Jesus cried out the first line of Psalm 22 to express his feeling of god-forsakenness. “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me.” Recently, I stumbled upon a verse that expresses the anger many of you feel right now. “Though I cry, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice” (Job 19:7).
