Holding it(,) Together: Recent Episodes

Mennonite Church USA

MC USA’s Women in Leadership has produced Holding it(,) Together, a podcast that delves into the lives and experiences of people across MC USA. It connects with folks from all over the country: people living into the fullness of who God created them to be, people stepping out in faith and standing in their conviction, individuals who are doing their best, one day at a time, to love God and neighbor, midwifing new systems and new ways of being in the world.

*There is a segment in this podcast where we discuss the physical toll grief takes on our bodies. Grief impacts every single body differently. Some people lose weight. Some people gain weight. Sometimes, neither happens. Please note that when we discuss how grief caused Erica to lose weight, we are speaking specifically about how grief shows up in our bodies and are not suggesting or endorsing any kind of weight loss. 

This episode's guest is Erica Littlewolf.

If you live with mental illness, it can be too easy to believe you are all alone. We believe we must pretend that "everything's fine," because sharing our reality with others is just too terrifying. Jill Stemple helps us to break the silence around mental illness as she reads, "Learning to be known and loved: The movement from hiding mental illness to sharing it with the church," an article she wrote for The Mennonite magazine in July of 2016.
