Pictured is Kay Warren and Donna Hoefs at the Noche de Esperanza Inspiradora, April 2016

In this special edition of Fresh Hope para la Salud Mental, Pastor Brad interviews Kay Warren from Saddleback Church. Kay and her husband, Pastor Rick Warren, cofounded Saddleback church. Rick is the author of New York bestseller, Purpose Driven Life.

Four years ago the Warrens youngest son, Matthew, lost his battle with a mental illness. And in the three years that have followed the Warrens have become advocates for hope for mental health.  I had the privilege of being on a panel for their first Gathering on Mental Health and the Church.  At Fresh Hope we are thankful for the encouragement of the Warrens regarding our ministry. The Warrens are the real deal.  They have had pain and have suffered deep pain.

“Why We Offer a Christian Mental Health Group at Our Church” By Dale Rose

As a family, where faith is paramount, we found that there wasn’t really any help within the church.  We traveled from church to church because our son believed that surely we would find the right place where this ‘problem’ could be dealt with once and for all.  Our search in the Christian community was met with one pastor who told us the problem was solved, “we cast out all the demons.”  Steve was excited, “finally someone found the problem and I’m going to be ok.”
