Ep. 155 — Interview with Rev. Devin Akers on The Joy and Challenge of Planting a Church, Helping with Mental Health, Forgiveness, His Passion to Teach the Word of God, and Joy!

Hello and welcome to the Unedited podcast!       

   The goal of this podcast is to help you develop and enjoy the habit of daily Bible reading and prayer. It is through the Word of God and the presence of God that we GET TO KNOW God.           In this episode, Meg interviews Rev. Devin Akers. Brother Akers is the founding Pastor of the Stello Church in Raleigh, NC, and a licensed mental health counselor. In this episode, Brother Akers talks about the highs and lows of planting a church, offers some points on how the church can help those dealing with mental health, and shares his passion for teaching the Word of God. A big thank you to Brother Akers for sharing his heart with the Unedited audience!

Reach out to a pastor or Bible-based counsellor. You are not alone!    Thank you for joining me for this journey.
