Emotional Spiral and What To Do About It

This week we flip the script with a discussion led by Cylinda Nickel, the Executive Director of Compassion Services International, Melinda Poitras, Secretary of MK Ministries, co-host of the Poitras Ponderings Podcast, and author and host of "He Said, She Said" podcast, along with Candra Poitras Fiorini, a licensed professional counselor. The discussion is based on tidbits learned from Living in the Overflow, a highly recommended book written by Richard Blackaby.

The trio looks at the spiritual life of Elijah, his showdown and spiraling to emotional, physical, spiritual, distress.

Candra gives excellent tips on how to deal with exhaustion, emotional struggles, isolation, and desolation. Melinda and Cylinda also add their ministerial perspective.

About the Podcast

Poitras Ponderings
Pause, Ponder, and Project
The Poitras family has many things in common. We speak. We write. We teach. We preach. We mentor. We lead. We counsel. We pray. We listen. We read. We learn. We encourage. We serve. We love. We interact. We enjoy. We hug. We each specialize in one or more of those areas but haven't got everything together. We strive! It makes for brilliant dynamics and a lot of fun. We are strong because we do life together.

But, in addition to all that. We pause. We ponder. We project.

It's a great mix we have in our lives. One more thing: we share. It's our joy to share the Poitras Ponderings!
