This month on Mercy Talk, we are excited to talk about missional hospitality and what it means to reach those around us for Christ.

But [...] The post Love of the Stranger…A Closer look at Missional Hospitality appeared first on Mercy Multiplied.

Why taking a break before, during, or after college (or any other season of life) can help you thrive rather than just survive!

On this last episode for Mental Health Awareness month, we’re so excited to jump into a conversation around the connection between our mental health and emotional intelligence.

In this episode, [...] The post Ways Growing in your EQ Can affect your Mental Health appeared first on Mercy Multiplied.

Anger is a feeling that most of us associate with unpleasant experiences (who can blame us!). Whether recalling fights with family, friends or maybe just those moments when we flew off the handle ourselves, we have all endured times of frustration.
